15 Weeks Old!

Ava likes to sit like a big girl!

Play time giggles!

I'm flying!

When Daddy gets home from work I love to play in my room with all of my new toys!

This past week we took Ava to the pediatrician so we could find out about her diet and exciting things only big girls do!  Ava weighed in at 10 pounds 6 ounces, which the doctor said was perfect!  She's a petite little girl!  Dr. Brennan explained to me that with me going back to work in January that Ava needed to learn to drink from bottles during the day and nurse in the mornings and night time.  This makes me nervous and sad.  I am not ready to leave my little girl!  Every day she learns something new!  I figure that since we are going to be traveling for the holidays and her schedule will be off already it is the perfect time to try new things.  Dr. Brennan also gave me some formula that is premixed in little bottles for me to keep in my diaper bag.  She told me that at this point Ava would not get confused by having formula and she wouldn't turn away my milk.  I'm still not sure about giving her formula, but it never hurts to have some on hand!  With going back to work in the near future I have been getting very anxious and stressed about leaving Ava.  I fully plan to enjoy every minute the next couple of weeks and the holidays are the perfect time to do just that!
