Update on my little Avery

Last Sunday my little turduckin turned 2 months old!! I cannot believe how fast the last 9 weeks has gone. She had her 2 month appt was Monday and here were her stats:

Weight - 12 lbs 9 oz (80%)

Height - 23" (75%)

Head - Cannot remember but she is in the 60%

(We caught her sucking her thumb)

Avery and Addison couldn't be more different. Avery is super mellow & calm and is content just laying in Erik or my arms. She is a super sweet baby, and I thank God everyday for having her. The poor kid inherited my super sensitive (almost albino) skin. I should buy stock in SPF 70 suntan lotion. Her hair is strawberry blond, and seems to be falling out every time I give her a bath :(. She is a CHAMPION eater (hence being 12.9lbs @ 2 months) and is a great sleeper as well. Around 5 weeks she started falling asleep between 7-8pm and will wake up to eat anytime from 3:30-5:30am.

Avery was having some trouble breathing through her nose - starting in the hospital and we thought it was just b/c she was born with a lot of crud up in her nasal passageway. After seeing my pediatrician a few times b/c of Avery wheezing & snoring really loud; she had us go to the Children's Hospital and see an ENT Specialist. Dr. Kelley @ Children's diagnosed her with Laryngopharyngeal Reflux Disease. Basically when she is eating - some of the milk is getting up into her nasal cavity and making it really iterated up there. She also had an infection, so she was put on some meds and seems to be doing a lot better. Avery isn't snoring like she was - and the wheezing doesn't seem to be as bad. We have a follow up appt on the 17th of July for them to scope her again and see if the medication is doing what it needs to do.

She is honestly a WONDERFUL baby - I don't know how Erik and I got so lucky to have such an easy-going, calm little one :)
