Happy 1 month Ava!

Happy 1 month Ava! (I know, couple days late;) I didn't feel it was official until she had her one month check up with the pediatrician:) She's growing like a weed!! She is now 9 lbs 13 oz and is 22 inches long!! You go girl! Looks like she was getting somewhere with all that nursing she was demanding... :) Anyway, we are all still doing great... we're falling into somewhat of a routine which makes things a little easier! Ava has been sleeping through the night for quite awhile now so there's no complaining here about no sleep;) She's obviously been a good eater as well! She's a happy baby girl...she loves to be held:) And who doesn't love holding and snuggling with sweet smelling cuddly babies, hehe. I love having the time off to be with her. I learn something new about her everyday;) Here are some photos from Ava's first month...I did a little photo editing and had to throw some of those pics on here as well :)

Oh, & I have to post a few milestones that I think are worth mentioning :)
~She's losing her baby hair:( My baby's goin' bald..hehe. You can't really see it in the pictures b/c she still has a lot of hair, but she's starting to get a receding hairline..haha
~She has grown out of her newborn clothes... ALREADY! She's so long that her NB onesies barely snap anymore and her NB pants are high-waters...hehe
~She's wearing size 1 diapers ;) By the way, Huggies have really been letting me down lately. Pampers have won that battle!
~She eats about every 2 to 2 &1/2 hours (that's a big one;)
~She can follow objects with her eyes & focus! She loves staring at my hair--if I get close to her face she just stares at my hair! It's so funny--must be b/c it's bright?

wow right now Keldan, Allie, and Ava make perfect stairsteps! Those baby feet are to die for. As cute as Ava is in person she is that much more adorable in person. You have got a little angel on your hands!

Whatever you've done to get her sleeping through the night, I want your secrets!

I agree with you on the Pampers. I was never very impressed with any others.

About starring at your hair: I read somewhere that babies like to look at your hairline. Something about the color contrast I think. Jude did that for a long time too.

She is just adorable! Can't wait to meet her!

love the pictures- and it was SO great to see you guys last weekend!!!! Ava IS adorable- and so cuddly. It was fun to hold her! I LOVE the picture of the three little kiddos. We need one with Jude in there too since he was born this year too! :) Christmas we'll have to do that! :)
I too agree with the pampers plug. We tried others too and didn't like them. :)
Hope you have a great Thanksgiving with your little family! :)
