5 Months

I can't believe she is almost half a year old I'm enjoying every second with her. I really like Saturday and Sunday morning getting up with her and playing in her room; reading books, chewing on stuffed animals, changing sheets, cuddleing.

> No teeth yet but I think they will come soon!

> Tried cereal and loves it! I'm trying to do it once a day every other day or every day.

> Going to try baby food soon! Maybe avocado will be her first food.

> Taking 2-4oz at night from a bottle so she dosen't forget how to use it, and sleeps longer.

> Such a big girl, sitting up pretty well, babbling, giving kisses, loving bath time.

Daddy taught her to keep her hands down while she is eating, we'll see how long that lasts.

4 Months 3 Weeks

It's been busy with Christmas! Evey is doing so much more now...
> Sitting with not much support and liking that position alot.
> Found her toes
> Her first rolling over (She hasen't done it much since the first few times 2 weeks ago, I'm ok with her not being too moble though!)
> discovering she likes her pointer and middle finger for sucking on her hands
> Discovering her loud voice!
> Getting her first hair cut from mom, yesterday. I want them to grow evenly.
> Spitting up less!

4 Months!

> Evey got her 4 month old shots and it was not as hard as last time, she was easly

comforted.

> I'm very excited that my friend is pregnant! She is about 8 weeks along she the baby will be about a year behind Evey. I'm excited to share all my post pregnancy knowledge with her. And maternity cloths.

> I've had pink eye this last week and Shawn has still been recovering from being sick too. Pray for us to get all better.

> She is getting so close to rolling over!!! She has a few times that mommy has missed!

> Evey loves to grab faces, that is probably why I got pink eye.

3 Months 4 Weeks

Evey is growing like a weed! So tall we marked her first mark on her hanging wall chart she is over two feet tall and weights 16lbs. She can do lots of fun things like sitting and standing up with not much support, wiggling around alot, reaching for things more,responding to peek-a-boo. She made the cutest shake your bootie video!

She is becoming more vocal in letting me know when she doesn't like being on her tummy anymore, Daddy calls it her "Teradactial voice". Evey is still sick not sure what is wrong maybe teething, but it would be very early for that. She goes to the Dr. Friday for the 4 month check up and second set of shots. :( Not looking forward to that. Grandma is getting alot of play time with Evey at school when she has free time.

Happy Thanksgiving!

> Evey is sleeping through the night the last few nights! like 7-9hrs! I praise Jesus for uninturpped sleep! Thanksgiving had some rough nights, but it worked in my favor I got to go black Friday shoping after Evey got me up at 3:30.

> She has her first cold the coughing makes me so sad. I was reading that they have about one a month and if they are in daycare that is double, so I guess she is going to be sick until she turns two.

> We are attempting a bottle a day and it is not going so well, so I bought a bottle warmer and she is still rejecting it but will take it for a little while, at night if you don't wake her up she takes it with no problem so I have hope since I know she can physcially do it.

> My big girl is standing up so tall and supporting her self very well. She enjoying sitting up with help and tummy time for longer periods. Of course she still loves to sleep on mommy. I relised the other day that Shawn never gets to hold her while she is asleep cause I hog it, so we talked about that, he said he knows I like it, and he said he really likes waking her up in the morning and getting the frist smile.

> We have moved her to the other side of the bath tub a few times it says infant and newborn on one side and toddlers on the other.
