On Monday Avery had her 8 week check-up (at 9 weeks old). She weighed in at 9 pounds 13 ounces, and is 22.5 inches long. That puts her in the 20th percentile for weight and 30th percentile for length. Still a little girl. She got a very good bill of health. The doctor said she doesn't usually tell parents baby's eye color, but "hello blue eyes!" Avery also got her first round of vaccinations - 1 oral and 3 shots! I don't know who it was more traumatic for, Avery or me, we were both in tears. Poor Andy didn't know which one of us to console. She was very sleepy all day but our tough little girl got through it. We get to go through it all over again in 2 months.
I forgot to mention in the last blog a couple other new activities Avery's into. She has recently discovered the fun of her Baby Einstein gym. She'll get her arms and legs moving like she's in a kung-fu movie - it's really fun to watch her. Here's a couple pictures of her at work.

She's also become better about napping and has learned to enjoy her bouncy chair - even taking naps in it. We're working on the transition from the bassinet to crib - which I think will be harder for me than her. Our little baby is growing!
