Our little Evelina is 7 weeks old today!!! Next week will be 2 months already and I'm really wondering where 2 months has gone. I feel like we just put our delicate little newborn gingerly into her car seat for her trip home from the hospital! Apparently I'm not doing so good with this growing up thing so far! I really do get teary eyed just seeing her try to stand on her legs or making these new grunts or giggles! I wish she could stay a newborn just a little while longer!
Well, in the last week Eve has had a couple of adventures. The biggest being her trip to the National Harbor in D.C. this past weekend for a Food and Wine Festival. Of course, I am a nervous wreck about her being okay and she is such a great baby throughout the whole day with the only hiccup being her inexperienced parents. Of course, what would a long day trip be without an embarrassing diaper story for the new parents? Since we were outdoors there was no great place to change her so Daddy suggested maybe he could just do it while she is in the carseat. I agree and am on hand with the wipes ready to hand them off with a fresh, clean diaper. Well, when Daddy unwrapped that package it was no longer self contained into the diaper. The mess was all over her car seat, legs.....SUCH a mess! Needless to say we got things as cleaned up as we could without causing a scene and Eve made it through the rest of the day (with her carseat air-drying in the sun, haha)! 
In the last few weeks we have finally been able to do tub baths and I have to say they are one of my favorite things to do with this little lady! The way she just lays back and relaxes with these funny expressions on her face are absolutely priceless! Plus it's a good bonding thing for her and Daddy, she is so much more relaxed with him (I love watching them together)! We even took a video the other day so I'll have to upload the highlights soon!
As for other changes in this little cookie's life........she is to the point where nuzzling in your neck is only good when she is sleepy, otherwise she would rather be seeing the world around her. If you talk to her she stares right at you drinking all your facial expressions and baby talk in.....and then she gives her squeals and half smiles back to you when you're finished! I have yet to catch a great smile on camera but there was my best attempt at the beginning!
Next week instead of the 2 month doctors appointment (we are having it the following week).....we are having a photo session so hopefully there will be some good pics to upload and maybe some with Mommy and Daddy ;)
Great pic of Mimi and Eve!!! Man, has Eve changed!!! Cassie is there a way for this site to alert me when you've put a new blog?? I don't want to miss one and want to stay current, you're doing a fantastic job!!
