hip hip hooray

A couple great things happened last week! First and foremost, Avery had some doctor appointments and she is cleared from having to wear any kind of hip brace! Her last ultrasound put her hips in a normal range and she was obviously really happy about it from the below picture. Secondly, we had her first set of vaccines (which were not pleasant), but the good news from the pediatrician was Avery weighs 12 lbs 10 ozs which puts her in the 90th percentile for weight (if you didn't already conclude this yourself from the CHUNKER post). And she's middle of the road for both height and head size. Lastly, Avery and I play every morning while she's still in her PJs and before her morning nap, and she's now capable of holding toys in both hands. She still doesn't really know what she's doing with them and she might not be aware she's holding anything, but only time will tell...
This upcoming weekend Aunt Lisa and Uncle Tyler are coming to NYC to meet Avery for the first time - we are so excited to see them and we'll be sure to take lots of pics.
