Daoust has Baby Girl #2
 

Today at 12:18 p.m. we welcomed Ava Marlee into the world. Her name was chosen in part by all of you at TFP. She's 8lbs 3oz. and was 23 inches in length. Yayyyyyyyyy!

Congrats Daoust!!! :)

Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!

now thats dedication....she's not even 2 1/2 hours old and her announcement has already been posted lol

Congratulations!! That's wonderful for you

A billion congratulations!!!! As your avatar to aptly points out: "IT IS NICE".

Congrats! Damn, but that is one long kid!

Awww, congratulations!
Ava Marlee is a beautiful name. :thumbsup:

Congratulations! I like the name, and I'm sure the TFP community is honored by having taken part in your choice. I envy her the head-start in the height race...I was 17" long and wound up being 5'1"...convenient for standing up in crowded airplanes and doing the limbo, but less so for reaching stuff on the top shelf. I know there's no absolute correlation between birth height and adult height, but still...I hope she grows up to be one of those tall beautiful women!

Congratulations--that's seriously awesome.

Congratulations!!! Best wishes to your family...

Congratulations Daoust!

That's great news. I was just wondering when we were going to get news. How long before Ava makes the pilgrimage to Golden Lake?

Excellent! :)

May sleep find you, health find her, and patience find her mother....heh


Congrats ....be happy

Congratulations, daoust. You've given her a beautiful name.

Hey all, thanks for the best wishes. I should point out that I made a typo, she's not 23 inches but rather only 21, which is still fairly lengthy, I think. Mother and daughter are doing fine and my two year old is absolutely in love with the new addition.

Charlie, she'll be in Golden Lake in 06 for sure, but most likely not till Christmas.

That's wonderful news, Daoust! Congratulations on the new addition. Considering the content of this thread, it's being moved to parenting.

Let the well-wishing continue!

congratulations, daoust.
ava is a lovely name.
good luck with all that lies ahead.

Sometimes there is a corellation. My daughter was only 19.5(and 6 lbs)and her brother 20.25(and 6.5 lbs) and he's now 6ft tall and skinny and she's 5'2 and perfectly proportioned. They've maintained a good 2-4 inches difference all through childhood until he gained 7 inches in less than a year. (they're 14)
I just looked at my baby book( yea, still have it!) and I was 19 inches and 7 lbs, 1 oz. At the age of two, daddy measured me and estimated I'd be 5'10-I'm 5'8 but got the legs of someone who should be taller. Daoust is tall; if they measure their daughter on her second birthday and double it, they'll get an idea how tall she'll be as an adult.

Congratulations! And what a graceful name.
"Ava" always conjures these images of long limbs, dark eyes and a wisdom far beyond age for me.

Congrats!! These new baby posts are making me anxious!! Any day now :)

Ava is a beautiful name.

Congratulations! May she grow up to be as beautiful as her name.
