7-11 baby!

Well Avilyn is growing so fast! I had her weighed yesterday (her 3 week birthday) and she weighs 7lbs 11oz! She's gained more than a pound from her birth weight! I've been working on getting her to smile and I think she's smiled at me twice...but it's hard to know for sure when she is so little and it's not consistent. She's can focus on my face for quite a while though so I think she'll be a regular smiler soon.

um...as for Porter and I...we're tired, but happy! Port's way busy with school, work, & rugby (which by the way, they won their first game against Weber and Porter scored I think14 points). He still manages to be the best daddy and husband!
I've started playing soccer again (just women's 3v3...very laid back games). I knew I'd be out of shape, but I didn't know my legs would be filled with lead and that I'd trip over them rather than the ball.

Welcome Avilyn Macey - Sept. 3rd 2008

She is the best thing that has ever happened to Porter and I! She is a really good baby. All I want to do is hold her...which is why I haven't gotten around to posting pictures until now :-) She weighed 6lbs 9 oz and was 19 1/2". We only got to hold her for a little while before they took her away to monitor her breathing, but she is as healthy as can be now! I took her in today to have her weight checked. Since she lost a little weight before we left the hospital the goal was to return to her birth weight in 2 weeks...well in 5 days she has surpassed that and today weighed 6lbs 11 oz. I was actually a little sad she was getting bigger that fast! Every moment is so precious right now and I don't want her to grow up.
