Contact Lenses & Other Stuff
On Monday July 24th, Ava was allowed to remove the last of her eye shields. She was estactic; she had gotten rid of those pesky cataracts and now she could see mommy and daddy un-obstructed. We took immediate advantage of that.
Here's ava playing one of her first games of peek-a-boo with mommy. I came in too late with the camera; just before these shots she was really into it and laughing...Peek-a-boo...Awesome stuff!!!
Ava has been also enjoyed playing with her toys alot more now. She likes colors man...The Colors!! WoW!! This girl has got some strong legs and she uses them. She's racked me a couple of times and made me change the way I hold her.
Maybe if I concentrate he won't run away
Ava has also begun trying to put thumb in her mouth. She hasn't quite got the hang of it; she tries to put her whole hand and her knuckles in. I keep asking Cathy to demonstrate to Ava how to suck her thumb, but she won't do it. This video is one of Ava's thumb-sucking endeavors. The start of the clip is Cathy telling me that I missed some spots when cutting the grass the day before...I'm cluess how that happened b/c I'm a grass-cutting Jedi.
On Wednesday July 26th, Ava got her right contact lens in. We went to Dr. Onan's office and they showed us how to put it in and out. Now, if you're thinking that putting a contact lens in and out of the eye of a 2-month old is difficult...you have NO IDEA! The contact lenses are not permanent implants, they are similar to the contact lenses that an adult would wear, the difference is that are much more durable and made from super-breathable silicon material (did you hear what i said?? heee!)
On Saturday July 29th Grammy and Grampa came down. She only had her right contact lens in so far at this point.

If you only knew...
Ava had her EUA (Exam Under Anesthesia) on Monday July 31st. They call this a procedure and not surgery, hmmm. The purpose of the exam was to remove the sutures from her left eye, measure her left eye for a contact lens, and just to get a good look @ the healing process from the previous two sugeries. It seemed like we were in and out of there. By the time we left Ava had both contact lenses in and could see things clearly.
I love bath time
Daddy, How did you get in there??
Clean face
Ava measured 10 pounds @ the hospital. Double digits..woohoo! Here she is!!
10lb Ava!
Who you gonna call?
