Avery saw the nurse practitioner, Rachel, for her two week well child visit. She is in the 60% percentile for weight, a beefy 8 lb., 9 oz. today! She's also grown just over 1.5" and is now 21 and 5/8 inches tall (90th percentile - she'll be tall like Daddy!!), and her head has grown as well from 13.5 inches to 14 and 1/8 inches. She's growing all over and at the right rate. She got her heel pricked for the second round of newborn genetic screening, and although she wailed at first, she quickly calmed down. She was a gem while getting looked over and even copped a couple of smiles at Nurse Rachel. Overall, she's in perfect health and doing wonderfully. Mommy caught a cold over the weekend and is still struggling to kick it, but doing better. Daddy is getting ready for his annual backpacking fishing trip into the Black Canyon. He'll be gone Wednesday through Sunday this week and we already are thinking about how much we'll miss him. Grandma and Aunt Kari will be coming to stay with us though, so we'll be just fine.
Here are some photos from her second week, enjoy!

We are so glad she is doing so well - you are doing a great job Mommy - and Daddy also. Love the new pictures.
Love,
Dad
Love the pics! Ben looks so peaceful. Can't wait to watch her grow! Thought of you guys today on the way home...I heard the new song by Rodney Adkins "Come On In" - makes me laugh every time I hear it. You should download it for Ben, I'm sure he'd get a kick out of it!
