She is now analyzing the animals on her chair. The 70 degree weather in Florida gives her playtime outside.
Not a fan of bath time yet
almost too big for the sink

hi pretty girl
I swear there are no steroids in her milk!
This was a wonderfully relaxing week for the family. I took Ava to the doctor on Tuesday and she is a very healthy baby. She now weighs 12.8 pounds and is 23 inches long. She is in the 95th percentile in weight for babies her age. The doctor could barely believe that I was only breastfeeding her and not giving her some supplements. She got her first shots since the birth and she was NOT a happy camper. She received 5 shots total and actually behaved very well. She screamed her head off as soon as she got the shots but stopped immediately after I picked her up. This week we concentrated on doing baby exercises with Ava. We have increased her tummy time to about an hour a day. We are doing baby sit ups to strengthen her neck and back. The greatest thing about this week was that Ava slept through the night for the first time last night. We did a family victory dance this morning! Life is so much easier when you are well rested. Ava is staying awake more and more each day. We are talking and singing with her lots. Her favorite things for us to do is make strange sounds. She smiles immediately as soon as we make "farting" sounds. She is almost laughing as well. She is now doing a silent type of laugh (especially with the farting noise) and we expect a giggle any day now.

Glad to hear that the breast feeding is going well and that Ava is happy and healthy. Can't wait to meet her.
Love,
