April 28, 2011 - One Month Old!!!

Where has the time gone?? One month old already and I feel like she is changing more and more every day! Her little newborn face is taking on more expressions and those eyes seem like they are really focused on the baby talk I constantly give her!! Really wishing time would just slow down a little!!!

Well, to recap this week........I had the BEST surprise ever!! As I was being lazy upstairs on Tuesday afternoon, I got a text message from "Mie-Mie" (Grandma) that there was a visitor that wanted to see the baby! When I got downstairs it wasn't just any visitor but one of my best friends from Chicago who had flown in to surprise me! She stayed until Friday and it was such a good time for me and Eve, I really wasn't ready for her to leave! Aunt Laura even helped mommy with a little bit of a photo shoot as well to celebrate the big "one month" milestone!!! We also visited the house site and made our first trip to the grocery store (an event in itself)!

In other happenings this week, our little Evelina's cord stump finally fell off. It definitely took four weeks instead of the normal two weeks or less to fall off, which means we have yet to try out her baby spa tub (haha)!! The tough part was that in the spot of that dried out stump wasn't the best looking healed over belly button. So, we made our ump-teenth trip to the Pediatrician to have it sealed over with some silver nitrate (which is looking much better now). Also at this visit, we thought since it had been almost 2 weeks since her last weight check we should her weighed as well. Haha, she is a whopping 11lb 3 oz now!! One solid girl!!!

Lastly, just to share a cute story from the week........so we had taken Aunt Laura to show her our house that was being built and wanted to grab dinner on the way home. Daddy agreed to wait in the car while we ordered and picked up the food. He had a bottle ready in case she was hungry but otherwise we left them sitting in the air-conditioned car (because it happened to be 87 degrees that day) since Evelina was sleeping. I came out to check on them about ten minutes later and Daddy had the most flustered expression. He then tells me, "me and Eve are not speaking to you". Haha, I looked down at the seat and see a pile of clothes that Eve had been dressed in when we went inside. Apparently, when Daddy lifted her out of the carseat he got to experience cleaning up after her first "blow-out" diaper. Poor guy!!
