Baby girl Evelyn is two months old today! Check out the new pictures posted in the gallery.
Some days I do feel like the time has been flying and it seems like she was just born yesterday. Then again, I think of all the wonderful memories we have already added up and it seems like she has been here with us forever. Hard to remember life without her!
We had our two month well visit to the doctor today and she gained another pound bringing her to 9 lbs and 12 ounces. We do not really have an official height to report because she refused to sit still for the girl to measure her. The length she did get was less than last time and we are pretty sure she is not shrinking. We will have to try to measure her ourselves sometime soon.
Overall, Evie has been very kind to us and been a good baby. Once we switched to doing breast milk and formula from bottles she has been sleeping for much longer chunks (3-5 hours instead of 1.5 - 2) which has made our whole house a happier place to be.
For the most part, we are on a good schedule of eating, playing for about an hour and then going to sleep until we repeat the process again. She does get cranky in the evenings but nothing more than fussy period each night where she just really wants to be held. Most other times when she gets fussy it is cured by either some time in her swing or some walking around with her facing out to watch the world. She is also very good about letting us know when her diaper is dirty so we are hoping that down the road that translates into easy potty training!
Evelyn LOVES it when people talk to her and she moves her mouth and tongue all around when she watches others speaking. Seems like she is going to be a big talker! She has also started to show a lot of interest in her mobile (check out the video below) and the hanging toys over her swing and bouncy seat. It is very fun to see her just sit for long periods of times amusing herself laughing and watching her toys. We have also been very lucky that Evie likes to be in her car seat which is also her stroller so we have been able to go on lots of visits to see family and also able to take walks around the neighborhood.
Looking forward this week to lots of family visits for the 4th and maybe even a night out for Mommy and Daddy!
