More Ava!

The babe is growing, growing, growing! She will be 12 weeks this week - time sure flies! At her two month appointment these were her stats:

Height: 24.75 inches (off the charts)
Weight: 12.5 lbs (75%)
Weight vs Height: 10%

Is she the child of Erik and I or what? ;)

So I guess I have to do the dirty work if Erik isn't going to post the videos about Ava :) She is so fun...LOVE her smiles and almost laughs. I think I've heard a real laugh from her once or twice when she is awake, so hopefully they will be coming full fledged soon. She keeps us plenty busy with her "talking" - cute exchanges of coo's when we imitate her back to her...it is cute cute! Here is a video of her talking to one of her toys:

She is so cute, but we can't wait until she gets a little better at sleeping. She was doing so well for a while with 6 hr stretches at night and sleeping on her own during the day, but she is recently on a 1+week kick of not being able to sleep without being held and waking up every 3 hrs or less at night (she did this a few weeks ago too). It is killing me and I am feeling like I have a newborn again. I've tried so many different tricks and read up a lot, but it seems like she is just not able to calm herself down and put herself back to sleep once she wakes. I'm hoping that improves as she gets older because right now I just feel like we've regressed!!

Anyway, sleep deprived and all, her smiles sure make up for the hard times. Erik has been a great support as well, so that has helped. Needless to say, I haven't been very productive this week, but I have lots of projects in the works, so I'll post about those soon!
