The photo below might just be Avery's smile, though we're still not convinced that she's smiling in earnest. Even if it's not though, she will assuredly be grinning often in the very near future.
On the whole, Avery is growing well--nearly three pounds during her first four weeks! Pretty unbelievable considering all the spitting up she's doing...
Although Avery is in many ways an easier baby than Anika, she does seem to have some GI issue that appears to really bother her at times. We've been medicating her for reflux and I've given up both dairy and soy because we suspect that (like her sister) she has a milk protein intolerance. I'm not wild about restricting my diet again, but after a couple 'good days' I'm slowly coming around. Fussy babies are the worst.
Andrew is frequently working 30 hour shifts this month. It's been challenging for us both, particularly last weekend when I had a fever off and on for about 36 hours, but we're hanging in there. And very much looking forward to a trip to Colorado in about two and a half weeks!
