Doctor Appointments

Ava has already been to the doctor two times...don't worry they were both well baby check-ups. The first was in Utah for her 72 hour check-up and the other was on Friday for her 2 week check-up. She did great both times and is continuing to gain weight and grow. It was funny because at the time of birth the nurse measured Ava at 17 inches, but then 5 days later at the doctor she measured 19 inches. Either Ava is a mutant with fast growing skills or the hospital got it a little wrong. Personally, I don't think she is a mutant. She has also amazed us with her weight gain. Ava was born 6lbs. 4oz. She has since been weighed 4 times: hospital-5lb. 15oz.; release day-6lb. 0.8oz.; 72hr check-6lb. 2oz.; 2wk check-6lb. 12oz.

72 HOUR CHECK-UP

2 WEEK CHECK-UP

At Ava's last check-up we discovered she loves mirrors. She hates being cold, so when I undressed her she was angry and let me know it. As soon as Ava rolled toward her side and saw the mirror she stopped crying. We waited for the doctor for about 5 minutes and she kept herself entertained with the mirror the entire time. Immediately following the appointment my mom took us to Babies R Us and bought Ava an Elephant toy mirror.
