A few of her favorite things

Ava is still young, but she is already developing a list of favorites. So far there are only 2 things on that "list".

When nothing else will calm her down, bouncing on the yoga ball does wonders. Killer on our backs though (can't keep proper posture while holding/soothing a baby).

This one is easier on our backs. She loves Pavarotti! Crank it up and she quiets right down. Guess we better stock up on his CD's.

Darling in Dots

Ava looked so cute yesterday, I had to take a picture. I wish I had taken more. Notice how cute her little mary-jane socks are, and the sweater shrug with ruffles! She still doesn't look at the camera very well...
Today she got weighed and she is up to 7lbs 4oz! Two months old and she's about newborn size now.

Corner Canyon Ride

Ryan went mountain biking at Corner Canyon (behind the Draper temple) with Jake and Todd, and Jake took lots of pictures. Here are a few of them:And here's Todd hitting a jump and then goofing around:

Ava Weeks 7-8

Here are some recent photos of Ava. Some day we'll get some pics of us with her. By her due date she is 2 weeks old (developmentally). By her birth date she is now 8 weeks old. She's starting to be able to hold eye contact a little longer now. And the other day she slept for 4 hours straight! A new record! I hope it will be oft repeated.
She hates having her arms bundled down. Anytime she sleeps, she manages to pull them free of the blanket, and keeps them as far up as possible.

Ava Week Six: Due Tomorrow

So today marks 6 weeks since Ava's birth, and tomorrow was her official due date. In celebration we graduated her to her first Newborn sized clothes. They are still a little big, but she's now 19.5" long and 5lbs 9oz (as of Monday). Her doctor was impressed. She's outgrowing her Premie sized clothes.

Ava Week 5

So I've been trying to get some more photos of Ava, but she's not cooperating. So I have to sneak them in while she's sleeping, and sometimes the lighting isn't good. Oh well. You can see in these photos how she is filling out a bit. She's getting cheeks (both kinds).
Not the most flattering shot... I'll try to do better next time.This is her paparazzi shot. "Get that camera out of my face!" She's gonna love this one when she's older. But see how she's getting a double chin now? That's a good thing in her case!

Binky Baby

Is that how you spell Binky? I really have no idea.
Ryan took this little video of our tiny little lady, whose face is being consumed by the pacifier. No this is not an oversized pacifier, it is just an undersized baby.
