My sweet baby girl is one month old today. She is such an amazing baby and a great addition to our family. Because of Noah's allergies to dairy and soy, our fantastic pediatrician suggested that I eliminate those foods while breastfeeding because there is a strong likelihood Ava will be intolerant of them as well. While it has been a challenge for me {I truly LOVE cheese and there is soy in EVE.RY.THING!}, Miss Ava has benefitted greatly. I think I can count on one hand the number of times she has spit up...ever. Noah used to spit up most of his meals and struggled to gain weight but Baby Girl is not having those challenges at all. She has gained over two pounds since birth and is a happy baby.
Ava's current stats are:
Weight: 10 pounds 4 ounces
Height: 21.5 inches
Ava currently has red, curly hair and blue eyes. She has much more hair than Noah had at that same age. Check out Noah's one month picture with Ryan Bear.
Noah is a fantastic big brother. He loves to hold his little sister, gives her hugs and kisses all the time, helps Mama out as much as he can, and has challenged himself to do things "Big Boys" do.
Congratulations! I've been thinking of you lately and wondering how things are! It sounds like all is well, and I'm so happy for you!
ReplyDeleteLove this picture of the 2 of them--all of the other ones too--but this one speaks to a lot of memories of Noah and his birthdays with Ryan's Bear!! :-)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!! So happy for your new addition! She's absolutely beautiful! Enjoy these times...mine are all growing up too fast. 21, 19 and 14 years old. I wish they were babies again! :) Love, Cousin Holly from Crystal Lake.
