Ava was born a week early at Columbia Presbyterian Hospital. My mom and brother arrived at our apartment at 11 p.m. and I left for the hospital at 4 a.m. and she was born at 7:20 a.m. Great timing!

When we were thinking of a name for Brandon, we came across the name of Ava and I liked the name enough to think that it would be a contender when we had the need for a girl's name. It's short, simple and sweet. Ava's middle name comes from my twin's Korean name. My twin, Youmee, passed away when we were 2 and a half years old in Korea, right before my parents and I immigrated to the United States. It never occurred to me to use my twin's name until I was about 7 months along...and after that Ava Youmee just seemed right. We never considered anything else.
She was a very easy and pleasant newborn. And she is still super pleasant and so so easy at 11 weeks. At about 6 weeks, she started truly smiling and cooing/talking and she hasn't stopped! Brandon adores her and she seems to love to watch him. Last night, she slept a record 12.5 hours! When I went in to get her, she gave me THE BEST SMILE. It's hard to tell personality yet, but I think she will be a talker.
- One Month Stats: 9 lbs 5 oz, 21.5 inches
- Two Month Stats: 10 lbs 8 oz, 23 inches
(Just for fun - Brandon weighed 6 lb 15 oz, 19 inches at birth; 2 months - 13 lbs 4 oz, 23.5 inches)
