Always Evelyn

Evelyn is nearly five months old and passing the days away having a blast playing with toys independently and bouncing along in her jumper.  Happy days all around.

Breakfast bouncing!

Happy Baby Bouncer

This girl loves to sleep.  We are all so thankful she figured out how to go to be before 3AM and we are especially grateful for the pacifier which seems to really … pacify.  Somewhere around 3 months she started rubbing her hand against the sheet as she was drifting off.  She always starts with her head to the left and rubs with her left hand.  So precious, it almost makes me want to pick her up and squeeze her sweetness.  Almost.

In additon to the loud mouth noises, she’s also discovered the wonders of being in her birthday suit

This one cracks me up because you can see her tummy muscles going to town.

Trying to catch up on some sweet videos.  You may notice a theme is these most recent ones…seems little lady has found her voice and likes to yell/growl/um, talk? 

Enjoy!

Christmas Eve meeting Cousin Taylor for the first time. Turns out E-V-E-L-Y-N is actually really hard to say.

Taylor trying again with Baby Elevyn We all think it sounds adorable and slightly French? New nickname? YES!

Do you see that look of concentration? I filled my britches and I’m proud of it!

Have you been keeping up with the weekly Milestones?  This week has been so much fun – Lots of mommy/Evelyn time and even rolling over!

Fifteen Weeks: Yeah for Christmas break!  No school, no school!  You and mommy have had lots of time together singing jingle bells, giving smiles, and practicing giggles.  You are getting pretty good at all of them and its a good thing since we need to show off your skills to all the family so soon!

You are also becoming quite the chunk – 13lb 5 oz at the weight check this week.  (Mom had to move your six month clothes into your dresser!)  You love hanging out and showing off your tummy time while checking out the other babies.  While mom was talking to the nice coordinator, you up and rolled over.  She wouldn’t have believed it but there were lots of witnesses and you definitely had been on your tummy but were now on your back.  Silly baby – you aren’t supposed to grow up yet!

You also got to meet Santa for the second time.  We did a Santa picture last month but we’ll just count that as practice since Santa didn’t have a real beard.  We know this second Santa was definitely for real though since you gave his beard a nice tug.

Just waking up from a nap. Hands above head, working hard on that pacifier. I know, I know…she’s on her belly and there are BLANKETS on her. Shame on me…but the girl sleeps and isn’t that what we all want?

You can really see those chubby, chub cheeks from this view!

This little gal is such a cutie – too bad she only gives out giggles once in a blue moon.  Oh well, I’ll keep trying.

Mommy working hard for a giggle and having to settle for sweet faces instead.
