9 weeks/2 months old

Ava is 2 months old! Can you believe it? I can't!

I started work last week. Its still hard to leave her everyday. I know that she is well cared for by my parents and by Phil but its still hard to be away from her for so long. I have tons of pictures all over my office which helps but its still hard. I do feel very lucky to be able to have my parents and Phil look after Ava. I know they love her and that she is well cared for. I couldn't ask for better people to be around our daughter.

This week Ava had her two month check up. She is 9lbs 2oz and 21.5 inches long. She is in the 20th percentile for height and she is in the eight percentile for weight and head. The doctor said she is doing well. I guess she does have some colic which explains why she screams part of the day. I'm going to look into changing my diet so maybe that will eliminate some of her gas issues.

She is doing amazing! She can hold her head up pretty well. She attempts to sit up or at least pull herself up by grabbing my fingers. She is a very strong little girl. She has pretty much mastered her arm movement. She has found her fingers and sucks on them a lot. She has now taken an interest in her legs as a whole. She loves her toes but she is amazed when her entire leg moves. She kicks a lot. And she loves to blow spit bubbles. She is totally amazing. We love her so much.
