Ava's 2 Month Update...A Little Late

Ava turned two months old on December 8 she also got another one of Logan's colds so we spent a lot of time at the doctor's in December. The week before her two month check-up she came down with a bad cold that she caught from Logan who had croup, and he had it so bad he ended up getting steroid shots in both legs, but once they gave him those it was like night and day and he was feeling much better. Ava on the other hand got really congested and was coughing a lot and the doctor was really afraid she might end up in the hospital so she set us up with breathing treatments and instructions to go right to the ER if her breathing got worse and gave us a little less than a week to see improvement or we would have to bring her to the hospital. So we did the breathing treatments, she cried through most of them and then after the treatments we had to flip her over and pound on her back for 10 minutes...she wasn't a happy girl, but the treatments helped and by her appointment the next week they took her off the treatments. Whew dodged that bullet. Since she was well enough at her well check up she got her first round of shots...which she also did not like, but overall she took them better than Logan did and wasn't very fussy and no fever afterwards. She weighed in at 12 lbs 9.5 oz and 23.5 inches, she is in the 90th percentile across the board. The doctor had me start her on some vitamins also. So we had a very eventful second month with Ava. She started social smiling and laughing this month also which is one of the greatest gifts you can get from a baby. She just fills our hearts with love everyday.

Here are some pictures from month 2!
