Christmas Trees and Baby Giggles

Evelyn really enjoyed decorating the Christmas tree this year.

Didn't she do a good job?

And now for the giggles...

Happy Halloween!

We've called Evie our little bird since she was born, so naturally that's what she had to be for Halloween. 

Laughing with Tristan

Thanks Uncle Marc, Auntie Crystal & Annabelle for the cute outfit!

On another note...

I just put away all of Evie's newborn clothes today. She's officially outgrown everything in that size. *tear*

She's getting so big and even trying to hold her bottle.

3 Months!

Evie has grown so much in the last couple of weeks! 

She started very deliberately reaching for and grabbing her toys in her play gym. She also kicks incessantly.

Got it!

She started sitting in her Bumbo and joining us at the dinner table.

And she started trying to pull herself into a sitting position.

She turned 3 months old on the 25th!

Lounging...

Photos and Updates

We just got our pictures in from Evie's 2 week photo shoot by the amazing Sarah Giles at Butterfly Chaser Photography and I just had to share some of our favorites!

Evie is growing and changing so quickly! She is now reaching for things and loves her play gym where she can swat and bat at her hanging toys. 

She has made little chirping noises since she was born so we call her our little bird. Here she is in her Halloween costume. Sweet little bird!

2 Month Photo Session

Football Games & Monkey Pajamas

This one's short and sweet!

Last night was the first Dickinson High School football game of the season and also Tristan's first game to march at. So of course we loaded Evie up and took her to her first game.

Grinning for the camera

The band was awesome (next time I'll take video) and Tristan had a great time.

Of course it was horribly hot but Evie was a champ! After the game she refreshed with a bath and then put on her brand new 0-3 month pajamas. Yep, she's officially outgrown her newborn ones.

Aren't her monkey pajamas too cute!?

Family and Monthdays

Last week Josh had to spend a couple of days in San Francisco for work. Luckily I have wonderful parents who were able to come and spend some time with us while he was gone. Thanks Mom and Dad. I love you very much!

Pop whistling to Evie.

My Grandma spent a couple of months this summer visiting from Florida and while they were here we celebrated Grandma's 75th birthday with a crab & shrimp boil.

Happy birthday, Grandma!

My niece, Annabelle, practiced holding Evie!

After Josh got back and everyone left we had another guest come to stay with us. Josh's sister, Connie, just recently back from Afghanistan, visited with us for a few days. 

Welcome home, Connie!

On another note, Evelyn turned 1 month old today. I can't believe how the past 4 weeks have flown by! 

Just for comparison, here's Evie in her car seat when we were leaving the birthing center the day she was born...

And here she is a month later...

No photos, please!

Happy 1 monthday, baby girl! We love you!!
