Ava's Arrival

Ava Grace made her arrival into the world on August 8, 2011 at 4:33 pm! She weighed 7lb 7 oz and is 19 1/2 inches long. Everyone is doing great, and we are all adjusting really well! Ava is such a sweet baby and is a spitting image of Christopher when he was born. She's a good eater, and is making progress in the sleep department. She had her days/nights mixed up, but we think she has them figured out now...at least we hope! Chistopher is also adjusting really well, too. He wasn't sure what to think of her when he first saw her and would get very upset and worried when she would cry, but now he comes home every day and goes to find "baby." He seems very excited about her and likes to give her kisses :) I think he is going to be a great big brother!

Thank you so much for all of your well wishes, phone calls, emails, etc.! We really appreciate them. I'm sure we will be taking lots of pictures, so I will update again soon!
