Ava weighed in at 23.1 lbs (85%), apparently the bug she had last week didn't effect her. She was measured at 30-1/2," (90%), but I'm convinced she is longer than that. She wasn't too happy about being put on the table for weighing and measurement, so getting her to stretch out wasn't easy. The doctor's visit wasn't a happy one, as Ava got 4 shots yesterday. We decided to go ahead and get her flu shot, as she is constantly getting colds from the church nursery, and we don't want to face something bigger like the flu. We go for the second round of the flu shot next month. Looks like Daddy & Mommy will be getting flu shots again this year too.
With turn 1, comes the change of carseats. Ava has definitely outgrown her baby carrier, but we were encouraged to keep her in it as long as possible. So when we pulled out her new seat, courtsey off Grammy Amy, Grampa Fred, Aunt Danielle, & Uncles Jack and Andrew, she went crazy. She wanted to sit in it, climb all over it, and learn all about it while it was sitting in our living room. As you can see from the picture above, Ava is one happy camper now that she can see everything. And Daddy and Mommy are much happier now that we have more room on the passenger side, and Mommy can once again offer to drive on trips (Sarah was the only one who could squeeze in the passenger seat, and even then, her knees were in her chest.) Our only problem... figuring out how to keep her head up when she falls asleep. She needs a baby neck pillow! I'll have to get on that before our big drive in a couple of weeks down to HHI.
We hope you enjoy the little update on our BIG girl!
