While I wasn’t there, I’m told Ava’s appointment went very well today. She’s not 20 pounds yet, which is the bad news. The good news is that she’s moving up the height charts, which helps explain why she isn’t packing on the pounds.   I’m glad to hear it. I’m 6’1″, and Leah’s 5’3″ when she wears 3″ heels, so I was a little worried Ava was going to end up tiny (not that there’s anything wrong with that). If she continues at her current pace, she’ll end up long and lean. Maybe.
Ava also got shots today, but she won’t have any more until she’s four. I wish she was able to understand what happy news that is for her.
Grandma Georgie is here to visit overnight, and Ava’s having a lot of fun with her. Much to Georgie’s dismay, I’ve taught Ava to call grandma “G.G.” Georgie was using the restroom this evening, and I told Ava to go knock on the door. It was hilarious to hear Ava knocking and calling out, “G.G.! G.G.!” Grandma wasn’t so amused.
Tomorrow evening Aunt Rachel and Uncle Kevin arrive to prepare for the trip to Colorado. The pediatrician has given us permission to turn Ava around in her car seat, which is great news. Tomorrow after work I’ll get that all set up so we’re ready to hit the road Saturday morning. Depending on connectivity from the road, I may or may not be posting from North Platte on Saturday evening.
