All dressed up to meet Santa Claus for the first time.

Santa might mistake her for one of his elves . . .

Ava has a picture taken with her Daddy every Saturday so we can see her growing.

What a cutie!

She is looking pretty bright here!

If you click on the Label "Me and My Daddy"

you can compare her from week to week with her Daddy.

Ava and her Mommy. Is she growing?

Every Friday she gets a picture taken with her Mommy so we can see her growth. All of her pictures with her Mommy can be view together by clicking on the lable "Mommy and Me." She is Two weeks and one day old - and still sleeping most of the time. Preserving calories so she can grow, maybe?

Ava is two weeks old today!

This is her first time using a pacifier!

Ava weighed over 6 lbs. today - She is growing.

The jacket Ava is wearing here is size 0-6 months.

It will be fun to watch her growing into it.
