Monday Avery had her 2 week well baby check-up. All is well and she is growing! Last Monday we went in for a weight check and she weighed 8.8 pounds...she was down to 8.5 when we left the hospital from her birthweight of 9.1 pounds. One week later she was all the way up to 9.2 pounds...10 ounces in one week! Dr. Russell said that she is on the same track as her big sister, but Avery is not as long as Lily was so we'll see. Will this one have my genes? I hope not...I pray that my girls are long and lean like their dad and not short and tubby like their mom. Avery does have some "chunk" to her. She has chubby cheeks, thighs, and upper arms. She is changing more and more everyday and she is having more "awake" periods. I still think she looks like Jason, but time will tell. I see a lot of him through her eyes. Avery is doing well with eating. She eats about every 2 hours during the day or a little more and then every 3 hours at night. She always goes right back to sleep after nursing in the night...which is nice for mom! She does have a blocked tear duct which she has had since birth. Her left eye gets "goopy" with green ick, but the Dr. said there is really nothing to do for it. It doesn't bother baby as much as it bothers mom and dad. We are to keep it clean with a warm washcloth and it will fix itself with time.
Avery's 2 Week Stats:
Weight~9 pounds 2 ounces (72nd percentile)
Length~20 3/4 inches (68th percentile...sorry kiddo, but your big sister had you beat at birth in this category)
Head~14 1/2 inches (69th percentile)

Missy! I feel like she looks so different from when I saw her just a week ago! (I'm about halfway through her pictures...I'll let you know when I'm finished!)
