Mike and I both cannot believe that 2 whole months have passed! I know I start every post out like this but seriously........time is flying by with this little lady! I really wish we could keep her in this stage for longer than she will fly out of it. I just so love the smiles I get when she wakes up or how she makes her coos and squeals when she's kicking around on her changing table (her favorite spot). I know one thing for sure is that this adorable angel is not doing anything slow so far.......including growing out of clothes and diapers! I'm just hoping to make it through the value sized box of Pampers that we bought before she's on to the next size!
To celebrate Evelina's 2 month birthday we are having some pictures taken tonight! Hopefully they turn out good and we can catch some of her perfect gummy smiles! I would've so loved to have those shots of the baby fitting into the palms of Daddy's hands in the first few months.....however since the Pediatrician joked that she came into the world looking like a 2 month old.........we may have to settle for a naked baby cradled in the crook of Daddy's big arm! Haha!
(Speaking of pics with Daddy.........that is Daddy below IN the play gym with Eve......undoubtedly teaching her how to cheat at learning the hand-eye coordination)
Today, I also got a letter from my 90 year-old Grandmother in Wisconsin. Evelina is her 16th great-grandchild and I cant wait to show her off someday soon! Anyway, in her letters lately she has been including pictures of me as a baby and I'm pretty sure she is starting to get some more of my features aside from the red hair (and currently blue eyes). It's so fun to read her letters because she always does some reminiscing of me when I was Eve's age or stories from me as a little girl......I already think we have some similarities! Let's see if she wants her favorite baby doll named Janie someday (that was my favorite baby doll at my Grandmother's house).
In other adventures coming up in little Evelina's life, we are headed to the ocean this weekend (Ocean City- about three hours from our house) for the Memorial Day weekend. I'm looking forward to walking her up and down the boardwalk, so hopefully it's not too hot or rainy!!! We rented a condo with her Aunt Kissy and Uncle Jimmy (who are expecting their little girl in August) so it should be a fun weekend. It's just the packing that is not all it's cracked up to be! How can such a little thing need a bigger weekend bag than us?! Haha, packing for three people is NOT easy!!!
Well......8 weeks have passed by so quickly and both of us are sad that our little newborn is turning into an infant with her expressions, coos, smiles and personality shining through......we are both so in love with our little pink bundle and cannot wait for the continued adventures of parenting that are to come!!!
Here's a little preview of how happy this little girl is in the morning!
