6 months!

Our sweet girl is now 6 moths!!

She is the sweetest baby girl on earth.  Baby is eating solids now.  She loves bananas and sweet potatoes.  Feeding takes a while and she still is trying to figure out the whole thing.  It helps if I give her a spoon to hold while I try and feed her.  She puts EVERYTHING in her mouth so once she gets moving we will need to do some serious baby proofing around here.

Luke and Ryan continue to be the best big brothers ever.  Ryan will only wash his hands for baby.  I swear he wipes his hyney with his hands and asking him to wash them is like pure torture to him!!  BUT our rule is if he wants to hold baby hands must be washed.  He never complains about that :)  Ryan loves his little sister too much.  Luke is wonderful as well.  He always enjoys teaching her new things.  He will show her how he brushes his teeth or all his toys.  Right now Luke loves his super hero coloring books so he will color right next to baby and tell her all about the pictures and who the super heroes are.  She LOVES it.  Luke and Ryan are as constant to her as I am.  She really does light up at the sound of their voices and without fail breaks the biggest smile when she sees them.

I feel so lucky everyday when I get to look into my rear view mirror and see each of my precious children.  They are my everything and completely perfect to me.

4 Months!

Just rolled today!  Front to back :)

Eve has jumped from 1% in height to 14th%!!  She weighs 14 pounds 3 oz and is in the 52% for weight.

I have been given the green light to begin solids.  I can not believe how fast the time has gone.  I feel like I barely even remember being pregnant with her!  Eve is by far the sweetest and prettiest little baby girl in the whole world!  She has FINALLY started to grow out of her colicky phase.  I can actually lie her on a blanket and she is perfectly happy to look around and reach for things.  It has been a very nice change!

Luke and Ryan are still the best big brothers.  They love to hold Eve and lie with her on the ground.  She lights up when she hears their voice and breaks out on huge smiles and giggles when she sees them.

This morning Lukey said that Evie is the prettiest baby that he has "never seen before".  So cute!

Houston we have a poop in the potty!

HE DID IT!!!

After 3 days on not wearing pants, going through bags of candy, OJ, Gatorade, Lemonade, etc Ryan FINALLY had a perfect potty day!

He of course did it on his terms.  Ryan waited until no one was looking or asking him to finally poop in the potty.  After he did it he ran to me and screamed "I poop Mommy"!!

Luke, Ryan and I all jumped and screamed and hugged about how happy we were :)  This might sound lame but the best part of the whole thing was seeing how genuinely proud Luke was of his little brother.  Luke gave Ryan a hug and a pat on his head and said "good job Ba Ba" and Ryan smiled back a him and said "bank you Wukey".

Now lets just hope he doesn't forget how to go over night!!

2 Months!!

Eve is now 2 months!

I can not believe how fast the time has gone.  Eve is doing so well.  She is about 11.5 pounds now.  She smiles all the time.  Especially at Daddy.  She already only has eyes for him :)  Scott of course loves it!

Luke and Ryan still adore her.  They are so good to her and love to try and make her smile.  Ryan especially loves to give her hugs.  Its amazing to see her look at them.  It is like she already knows who they are and can't wait to be a part of things.

Eve is NOT sleeping through the night :(  She HATES the bottle right now.  I need to keep trying and see if she will eventually get used to it.  Her favorite place is in the Bjorn right up against us.  I think it reminds her of being in my belly.  She also loves to lie on our bed and watch the ceiling fan.  Scott and I plan to put one in her room ASAP :)

We think Eve will have blue eyes and auburn hair like her mama :)  I think she is just beautiful.  Actually, I know she is b/c we have random strangers come up and compliment her sweet face.  She is the perfect combination of Luke and Ryan right now.  She has Ryan's checks and Luke's features.  Although I think she sort of resembles G-Mom a little :)

I can't wait for her little personality to come out more.  She is the perfect addition to our "whole big family" as Luke would say.  I couldn't love her anymore than I do now.  I feel very lucky to have a daughter.  Especially because I have such a wonderful relationship with my Mom. I can only hope Eve and I will be the same :)

First Smiles!

Eve smiled at me for the first time last night at 6 1/2 weeks!  She is beautiful and we all adore her.  ESPECIALLY her big brothers.  Luke loves to show "baby"all his toys every morning and Ryan loves to hold her hand and pat her head :)

We are all totally smitten!
