Avery Update

It has been a while since I posted about Avery, so here is an update...

• Avery turned 8 months old two weeks ago- can you believe it?
• She weighs 14 lbs 9 oz
• She wears 0-3 month clothes... although she is on the verge of wearing 3-6
• She sits up like a champ
• She is stubborn about rolling over to her stomach (she can totally do it, but she insists on help)
• She loves to talk... mamamama is currently her favorite sound
• She loves her toes
• She loves carrots, peas, green beans, sweet potatoes and avocado. Not a huge fan of fruit-crazy girl.
• She already loves cell phones/tv remotes and cries when you take them away from her. So now she has a cell phone of her own to slobber on.

Avery's surgery is going to be next month. It is scheduled for June 16th. We don't know all the specifics about the surgery yet. We won't know everything until her pre-op testing is done the day before when we meet with her surgeon. We do know that it is going to be an open heart surgery that will last anywhere from 3-5 hours. Recovery is anywhere between 10-14 days and I was told that we may not have to stay at the hospital the entire time. So, just in case you forgot, she has a hole between the two chambers of her heart and an undersized pulmonary valve/artery that will be fixed.

and that is it so far... here are a few pics we took recently

Yes, she is all smiles until the camera comes out...
