7 1/2 weeks old!
I can't believe how time is just flying by! Starting this week Ava has actually been smiling back at us which has been amazing. It's great to finally get a good reaction to all my silly faces (before she would just give me her serious zoolander face) She has been cooing much more too which has been so fun to listen to. Also this week, actually today, we started physical therapy for her torticollis. Ava didn't like therapy but she was just more complaining about it, not exactly crying so that was good. They said it usually takes 4-6 weeks if you go twice a week for half an hour.
For the past 2 1/2 weeks they've been working on our kitchen floor and finally today everything is done! It's been so hard trying to get on a routine since we've had to be out and about so often. This next week I plan on really keeping better track of her activity and I would like to get on a routine by the end of February. I think I FINALLY found a bottle that agrees with Ava. After getting a whole pack of Dr Browns I decided to try Born Free since Elissa and Jen love them so I bought a huge pack of those too the other day. Ava still wouldn't eat more than an ounce. So today I tried an Avent bottle and she drank 3 oz in like ten minutes! Could it have really been the bottle??? I guess we'll soon find out!
Last weekend we took Davis skiing for his first time! Ava slept at Grandma and Grandpas, I missed her terribly!!! But it was great for us to spend some quality time with just Davis and he was adorable and really appreciated it. We called it "Davis Day" and thankfully he LOVES skiing!!! He was awesome! At the end of the day he said "Thanks for Davis Day Lisa, It was the best day of my life!" Definitely made it worth parting with Ava for a few hours :)
