everly 2 months

two pictures for two months...

i'm pretty sure i'm a mean momma for thinking the second one is hilarious. i can't even begin to tell you how much joy this little girl has brought into so many lives. we are so grateful to God for blessing us with her!

so big things during her second month of life:

• she's becoming way more chatty. she'll babble on and on and i swear sometimes you'd think she was carrying on a conversation! especially in the evening when we ask her to tell us about her day ;)
• she likes to be faced out to the world so she can look around, especially when she's outside.
• she has really great head control for her age and has really strong legs. When she's in the bathtub she loves to kick her ducks (temperature control rubber ducks that we put in the bath with her) and splash! she also loves to 'go for walks' on her changing table. we ask her where she's running to, and say different places and she just kicks those legs!
• she loves to be read to
• has slept through the night twice
• very smiley girl, especially first thing in the morning after she's stretched!
• she made her second trip to kentucky where she got to meet her other great grandpa
• loves stroller rides
• moved to a new house

everly 1 month

i cannot believe this sweet little girl has been with us for 1 month already (edited to add, almost 2 before i'm actually posting this!). i truly could not have been less prepared for how much she would change my life. everyone says this and i never understood. i knew things in my day to day life would change, and i knew i'd love her but i had not idea how much. enough about me, let's talk about her!

she LOVES bath time. she just smiles when you put her in and cries when you take her out. 

she LOVES to snuggle and being swaddled. i haven't tried to put her to bed at night without swaddling. 

the front porch swing is her favorite place in the world (which stinks because we're moving). anytime she's unconsolable we go out to the porch and rock and it calms her right down. 

she made her first trip to kentucky. 

she got to meet two of her great grandparents and she has put new light in their lives. they've even figured out how to view pictures on their phone so they can see her more!

she loves her uncle matt and is so content when he holds her (most of the time!).

daddy loves her crab outfit the best. 

she's had three "sleepovers" with mimi (mommy got to sleep!).
