Ava is Three Months Old

Ava is now three months old! Hard to believe she was inside my tummy for longer than she's been hangin' out in the "outside" world... I'm sure the view has been much more spectactular during her past three months!

We measured her the other day. She is almost 24 inches long, now. Two whole feet! Per the growth charts, she is now in the 75th percentile for height.

We're not sure how much she weighs, but I would guess she is around 14-15 lbs right now. When I weighed her the other day, I think she was around 14 lbs.

I will also try to measure her cranium sometime. Her head and face do seem to be filling-out quite a bit. It's all very strange to me that she is filling-out not based upon formula, but breast milk exclusively. That is the weirdest thing. She hasn't had any formula since the first week of her life. It is strange to think human milk can create little fat rolls on a baby's legs! Hopefully nursing her will prevent some day-care kiddo-germies from getting the best of Ava, too.

We're heading to Columbia, TN (near Nashville) this weekend to visit my Pa's sister Anita Prince and family. We haven't seen them in a long time, so it will be good to visit with them! My Dad and Dolly will be traveling down from Michigan, so Ava will be getting some grandparent-smooches, too.
