Avila is 2 months old. {and was a week ago, but I'm a little slow these days!} I say this with every child, but I can't believe it's already been 2 months, but it seems like she's been here for so long! We have had our fair share of issues, mostly with nursing, so it makes it seem longer! She is really such a good baby. She still sleeps a lot, which I am grateful for! But, she doesn't always sleep on her own. If I hold her she's asleep a good amount of time, but I can't hold her all of the time! I do carry her around in the baby bjorn or sling quite a bit, so I can get some things done. She rarely cries {sadly, usually only when Adam is holding her! He can't nurse her! ;-)}. She absolutely loves to take baths and grins the whole time. She is very very very smiley. She smiled early and hasn't stopped.
She went in to the doctor for her 2 month check up on the 7th. I was thinking she was big. The doctor weighed her. She was 12 pounds 15 ounces, and I thought that was big. He told me she was above the 90th percentile for weight. She was 24 inches long, too. But, then I went home and looked back at Jacob's weight at 2 months. Any guesses?? SIXTEEN POUNDS FOURTEEN OUNCES!!! And if you can't believe that one, Macie was a whopping EIGHTEEN pounds at 2 months! Macie was FIVE pounds bigger than little Avila! I seriously could not believe it. I haven't been able to get to the box with Noah's baby book to see how big he was, I know he was more like Avila, though. The other two were just giant babies!
I love this baby Avila. She makes me happy. I'm so glad she's here.
{I couldn't find the picture of Noah again, and this collage was made on our other computer, so we don't have the original anymore to add Avila to it. Noah was such an old school baby and his pictures were on FILM and we had to SCAN it into the computer. Crazy.}
