a few little tidbits on our baby girl

we want to keep everyone informed on how little A is doing, so, here are a few of her latest accomplishments...

- she is now a little over 8 pounds! quite a jump from her birth weight, eh?
- she gives us smiles every day now. and they are beautiful! and i'm not just saying that cause I'm her mommy. her smiles melt our hearts. can't wait to hear that laugh!-
- waiting for her kneecaps to come in - haha - did you know babies are born without kneecaps??
- she has successfully made the transition into her crib! yay! until now, she had been sleeping in her moses basket in bed with us. and then we sent her down the river in it. oh, wait.
- tomorrow, May 15, she will be 3 months old! wow! but, technically 6 weeks old. everything developmentally is measured from her due date. so although she is 3 months old, she is really measuring on a 6 week old chart.
- her legs are so strong! i swear, sometimes she is trying to stand up. really!
- she was born with beautiful blue eyes and so far, they are still blue.
- avery has already mastered the "touchdown" gesture. soon, she'll have to make that very important decision - cowboys or browns??
- she has captured our hearts and we simply adore our little peanut...we cannot wait to see how she'll continue to grow and amaze us!

Browns or Cowboys...little does she know how this one decision will impact the rest of her life!

Oh, and I had no idea about the knee-cap thing. How crazy!
