Memories in the Making

Evy loves to sit in her highchair and watch us cook. We will have our music playing and talk as we prep and cook and clean. I hope this is something we can continue with Evy for a long, long time and a special memory she'll always hold tight to...and maybe do with her children one day.

Happy Three Months!

Dear Evy,
We are so enjoying watching you grow and learn new things. Everyone told us time flies with a little one and we are definitely experiencing that. We can't believe you are already 3 months old.
~You now weigh 13 pounds and you are 24 inches long~
~You continue to be in size 1 diapers, but it won't be long before
you are needing to wear the next size~
~You are wearing 3 month or 3-6 month clothes~
~You continue to love to "talk" to anyone who will talk to you.
You will gurgle and giggle and coo.
You've also learned to make a certain noise and
we will go back and forth making the noise with you~
~You now giggle and it is so cute! It's amazing how we will
do almost anything just to hear your giggles~
~Your smile is precious. You can now recognize us
as momma and daddy and will smile when you see us~
~You are now sleeping in your crib and my favorite time is when you wake up...
you are usually happy and will smile when you see me peak over the side of the crib~
~You are grabbing at objects in front of you and you hold on tight~
~You are so strong. You can sit up with some support and
you love to stand up while we hold on to your hands~
~You have discovered your toes and will
wiggle them as you stare at them in wonder~
~You are sleeping for at least 5 hours during the night,
wake up to eat, and sleep another 2-3 hours.
You take several short naps throughout the day and
a longer nap in the early afternoon~
~You are such a happy baby! You only fuss or cry when you're hungry or sleepy~
~You continue to LOVE to be outside.
We bought a porch swing and will take
you outside in the evenings to swing~
~You are so close to rolling over. Every time you are playing
on the floor we have our camera ready
just in case you decide that's the time to roll~
~Your personality is blossoming each day and you are so sweet.
When we tell you we love you your face just lights up with your beautiful smile~
~You are an observer, taking in the world around you~
We love you so very, very much and love watching you grow and change every day. It is so exciting to see what you learn to do each day. You're the best thing that ever happened to us!

Family Fun & Fireworks

Evy's first July 4th holiday was spent with the Davis clan at her Uncle Ramsay and Aunt Meagan's house. We enjoyed having dinner together and watching a firework show in the neighborhood. I was concerned that the booms would upset Evy but she was so relaxed and enjoyed watching the bright lights in the sky.

The highlight of the evening though was Evy meeting her great grandmother, Momme. She and Momme sat on the couch for the longest time talking to each other. It was the sweetest thing!

Ten Weeks

In the mornings while I get ready for work Evy will lay on our bed on her playmat and will coo and laugh at herself in the mirror. Well, this morning as I was getting ready I glanced over and she had completely scooted herself off the mat! I thought it was just a fluke thing and put her back on the mat. Just a couple of minutes later she had scooted off again. Then I looked over and she had rolled from her back to her side. I waited for her to finish her roll, but she couldn't quite roll to her tummy. So now we cannot leave her on the bed or couch unless we are right there! I love watching her learn new things. I know it won't be long before she's rolling all over the place. Evy had to go to the doctor today for her 2 month checkup. She has grown so much this past month. She is 23 inches long and weighs 10 pounds 15 ounces (which is a pound more than 2 weeks ago). The doc said she looked great! She also had to get a couple of shots, which she was so not happy about! But Chad was there to comfort her...and now she's all smiles. We are so pleased Evy is doing so well now. She's growing so fast!
