Avi-Kate in July...

One month old, already?!

Shannon delivered both of our redheads.

I didn't get to take your one month picture in the rocking chair but I did snap a one month picture in your swim suit! 

Ready to lounge at the pool with Aunt Meg.

Lounging with Aunt Caro at the pool.

Not sure about something?!? I find it appropriate that this picture was taken in Caro's arms...I feel like I've seen that face before from her! :)

Havin' fun with Aunt Mis.

Sweet, sweet girl! 

You are so beautiful!

Hard to believe in another week you will be two months old sweet girl. This month has flown by. You are growing like a weed! You are quite the piglet. At one month you were 10 and a half pounds and 22 inches long. (Bigger than your brother was at his one month appointment!) You love to eat but you are a tortoise when it comes to nursing! Most feedings it takes you over an hour to nurse. Making for a very tired mommy. Sometimes it's just easier to pump and give you a bottle. You slept 'thru the night' for the first time two days before your one month check up...a nice 6 hour stretch. Since then you have bumped it up to 7 hours at the beach, 8 hours last week, and this week you've started doing 9 hour stretches. You sleep great at night! During the day it can be hard for you to nap...but that might also have to do with your big brother and his zest for life! Last week you graduated to a size two diaper and you are already starting to wear 3-6 month/6 month clothes. You started smiling at the beach. That Saturday morning you were all smiles while snuggling in bed with Daddy. You are a wonderful baby, Avi-Kate, and we are enjoying every minute with you!
