Ava's 1 Month Old Already!

Wow, time flies when you have a 3 year old and a newborn at home! Ava turned a month old on Sunday! It hasn't been to hard adding Ava to the mix, for the most part she is a good baby, good sleeper most nights, of course we have had our moments, but in the hard moments we remember what we went through to get her here and suddenly those moments seem less hard. In her first month Ava had a clogged tear duct which isn't a big deal, Logan had that too and she also caught her first cold thanks to big brother. Luckily it wasn't too bad and there was no fever. Ava's one month check-up went well, doctor said she is doing great, and oh boy is she growing! She weighed in at a whopping 11 lbs 3 oz (Logan was in the 9lb range at 1 month) and she is 23.5 inches (which is 95th+ percentile) I guess her huge feet do mean shes going to be tall! Her head size is also in the 95th percentile, which is no big surprise, we have big headed kids thanks to Matt, haha. So our 1 month old is about the size of a 3 month old already and has outgrown all her newborn clothes and a lot of her 3 month clothes just fit her! She loves to eat that's for sure and unlike with Logan we haven't had to supplement with any formula, what a difference the good stuff makes! We are starting to introduce a bottle here and there so she can be fed when I am not available (skating, nights out, etc) Matt gave her the first bottle and she took it with no problems so that is good, I keep building up a milk stash in the freezer and her getting a bottle once in awhile takes some of the feeding pressure off of me. So life has been forever changed, but at the same time it feels like she has always been with us! She is changing so much already we can't wait to watch her grow and start interacting with all if us and watch her and Logan together. Logan is such a sweet big brother, he needs his extra attention right now that's for sure, but he never takes his frustrations out on Ava, he only shows her love which we couldn't be happier about! So happy 1 month to our sweet angel girl, Mommy, Daddy and big brother love you to the moon and back!
