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!
> Getting ready to try cereal in a few weeks! I'm hoping that will bring more sleep for mommy.

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.

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.

Oh that girl is awesome! She loves playing with her grandma Wendy at school. She is sticking out her tough lots and it's so cute. Evey is getting more sturdy sitting and standing I love slinging her to me and taking her everywhere we go. Mom and dad saw Harry Potter while Aunt Ann Baun baby sat for us it was really fun. Evey is still not taking the bottle but we will try every day or so. Mom is helping with Awakening and staying over night at the church on February so Evey will have to take a bottle then but she will be on cereal and just starting baby food then so it will be fine, I'm sure.

3 Months 1 Week

Mom and Dad got a fun date night and Evey had a sitter (AJ Mildenberg) it was so nice to have dinner with Shawn and have his full attention. Evey is doing lots of great things, she like to sit upright so the Bumbo is great, she can almost hold herself up. Her neck is very strong and she is very cute.

We took her to Target this weekend and I used the sling she loved looking at all the colors and enjoyed her time strapped to mommy! I found some cloths on Craigslist but the cloths were alot of spring/summer I thought it was more winter stuff but we'll make it work. They are really cute things.

Three Months!

Evey is doing awesome! She is such a happy baby girl very alert and likes to smile. Shawn said the other day when she laughs it's like heaven, he is so right.
I'm trying different swaddlers she didn't like the woombie but maybe I bought it too big, I just got the Miracle blanket so her hands will be at her side so a position she likes them at better, so I'm hoping to get lots of sleep tonight! We'll see. But I'm not sure how much longer we will be swaddling because she will be rolling soon. She goes to bed between 8-9 after a nap :) and then wakes around 1 and again around 5. I'm hoping that she can go 6hrs at some point so I can sleep.
Whoever invented daylight savings didn't have children I'm curious to see how her sleep patterns will adapt. We are going to MI for Thanksgiving so we got a swing off Craigslist for Grandmas house, so Evey can sleep there during the day time.
