I wanted to wait until today anyway because Avery had her well child check up yesterday. So I thought I would give the details of that...
Avery is now 17 months old on Thursday this week, and we've been together for 3 months. According to the doctor's visit yesterday Avery is now 19.3 lbs, and 31 inches long. She has grown 3 inches in 3 months, and she was 16.7 lbs when we got her I think and now she is 19.3- pretty good!! Dr. O was very impressed with her progress. Dr. O asked if she was walking, and I said it's more like running now, she laughed! Our last visit with Dr. O, Avery was walking with assistance. Avery was jabbering to her, and saying Bye Bye, and giggling and laughing, and reacting to what was being said etc. Dr. O compared her to the American/caucasian baby growth charts and Avery is doing very good compared to those charts-YAY! Right on track!!
Avery had to get 4 shots again yesterday. 1 in her arm, and 3 in her legs- poor little duffer :( She was pretty sore later in the evening, and she still is this morning, and feels warm to me this morning. But it's pretty typical that she will run a little fever after that many vaccinations and shots etc.
Dr. O said she's close to getting her first molars. Avery now has 4 teeth on top and 4 on the bottom.
We are very excited about Sunday and taking our daughter trick or treating!! Of course at this age we are more excited than her... something we've been waiting for, for a long long time!! but she looks so darn cute in her costume!! It's not anything special, but this being our first Halloween we want it to be a surprise!! I still have to get a few things for her costume, and treats for our nephews yet. But I still have a few more days to get it all done.
Gary and I both feel like we are trying to fight off colds...hopefully we will not get sick!!
Looking forward to starting Christmas shopping, and the whole Christmas season. Seriously can't wait!!
That's it for now, have a great week!
