Wow. We can't believe it is already November. Thanksgiving will be here before we know it! We have had a good week so far. Avi Grace tagged along with her friends Jack and Emily as they Trick or Treated in Timbercove subdivision tonight. Jack was a tiger and Emily was a lady bug. I'll post some pictures soon. The weather this week has been much better...no rain!
Avi Grace slept very well last night...from 10 p.m. until 5 a.m. I was very happy, although, I find it hard not to keep checking the clock to see what time it is every time I wake up! I hope she continues to sleep well at night. It makes us all happier during the day!

Six Weeks Yesterday
Avi Grace was six weeks old yesterday. Time is flying by, and she is growing so much. She weighs around 10 pounds 3 ounces now! It has rained every day this week and turned cold, so we haven't been able to take a stroll since Sunday. We are missing our time outside!
Avi Grace has started smiling and cooing some as of the end of last week. It is still very random, but we are enjoying it! She's having a hard time napping during the day...she wants me to hold her or carry her around while she sleeps! She will go sound to sleep, and I try to put her in her crib and she wakes up immediately! I've tried to let her go to sleep on her own in her crib, and she doesn't want to do that either! Several weeks ago I could get her to sleep in her crib, but not so much anymore! I'm hoping this is just a phase! Although, for the most part, she does pretty well at night. So, I won't complain too much!
That's about all that is going on here. I'll update again in a week or so!

One Month Tomorrow
It is hard to believe that Avi Grace will be one month old tomorrow, October 12. She is growing so quickly. We weighed her last night, and she was 8 pounds 13 ounces! She still looks so little to others, but we can see her growing right before our eyes! We gave her her first bottle last night, and she took it very well. She ate about 3 and a half ounces. She is just a sweetheart, and we are truly enjoying her!
We just got back from a stroll on campus. The weather is so nice today, and we hope it stays this way so we can continue to take walks during the day.

First Doctor's Appointment
Avi Grace had her two-week checkup this morning. She did very well. She had increased her weight from 7 pounds 9 ounces at birth to 7 pounds 14 ounces. She had also grown a half inch. She got an overall great report, which we were very happy to hear!
Yesterday we went for our first stroll on campus, and she slept the whole time, even through all the bumping on the sidewalks! I enjoyed being able to get out of the house for a bit. I was beginning to really get cabin fever! We are probably going to make strolls a common occurrence!

Healthy, Sweet Baby Girl
Hi everyone. I have created this blog so that our family and friends can keep up with our newest addition, Avi Grace Anthony. We had a healthy, sweet baby girl on Wednesday, September 12, 2007, at 8:35 a.m. She weighed in at 7 pounds 9 ounces and was 20 inches long! She is beautiful, and we thank God every moment for a healthy pregnancy, delivery and sweet baby girl.
First things first: We are calling her Avi Grace (double name), and Avi is pronounced like this: "Ahhvee," with a short A sound. I had no idea that the pronunciation of her first name would be such a challenge!
Because so many people have asked, Avi is not a family name, but rather somewhat of a tribute to Avi Grace's big brother, Austin, our angel watching over his little sister from heaven. Dr. Avi Katz was Austin's primary nephrologist at Children's Hospital in Birmingham, AL. We chose Avi not only because we liked the name, but also because we wanted to remember Austin and honor Dr. Katz.
We got home from the hospital Saturday, September 15. The first night home was overwhelming...she wanted to eat every hour and a half! I was already sleep deprived, but we made it! The past several nights have been much better, and we both feel more rested!
So, I will periodically update the blog so you can keep up with Avi Grace if you are interested! We are doing great! Hope all of you are doing well!
Love,
Kelli
