Her Little Face Shines

At nearly seven weeks old, Ava has become a character. Her facial expressions change almost constantly as she smiles and moves her little eyebrows in all sorts of different postions. Her little eyelashes get longer everyday, and her eyes get darker--we think they will probably be brown, but are still holding out for hazel. Who knows. She is weighing between 10-11 lbs. now but we won't know for sure for about another week and a half when we go the the pediatrician. All we know for certain is that she hasn't been wearing the newborn size of clothes for two weeks, and she is ready for the next size up in diapers.

We haven't totally figured Ava out yet--she is either gassy, which makes her fussy, or she needs to be entertained, and she fusses when she gets bored. My family thinks it is the latter of the two, which would make her like her daddy in that respect--an active little lady.

Daddy likes to tell Ava that he found his little peanut in an oversized peanut-shell in a peanut-patch.
Ava is very content laying on her mommy--especially after her mommy just got done feeding her.

I can't believe how beautiful and animated Ave is. The pictures already remind me of her mama.
