Family

I'm looking through pictures tonight and found this family picture from Easter.  Makes me smile!

Well Checks

Evie had her 2 month well check and Borne had his 30 month.  Borne's check was much easier.  Just a questionnaire and a quick check and talk.  Evie had the questionnaire, check and talk also but she needed shots as well.  They are testing a new shot that includes two shots in one but in order to get it you have to have blood work done so they tried to get blood out of both of her arms but could not find the vein in either.  So she got majorly poked in both arms and then ended up getting three shots instead of two.  Poor girl was exhausted from screaming by the time we left.  She slept the entire afternoon but then woke up not very happy.  A little tylenol and a long walk in the moby and she was ready to eat.  She ate really good and then slept through the night.  Hopefully the next round of shots will go a little better!

Here are the kids' stats:

Borne
Height: 36 inches - 53%
Weight: 29.8 pounds - 48%

So he's right in the middle and doing good!


Evie
Height: 22 inches - 18%
Weight: 10.12 pounds - 26%
Head: 16 inches - 95-97%

The doctor said - she's just a little petite thing (not sure where she got that from!).  The doctor said she's small but in relation to each other she's perfect so nothing to worry about.  She's out cute little girl!! She's staying a baby a little longer for her mom!!

Dying Easter Eggs

We had fun coloring and dying Easter eggs outside!

Evie hung out in the moby and slept the entire time.

Borne & Ian had fun coloring the eggs before dying them.

 

Brothers!!

All of our pretty eggs!

Evie - 2 months old

Evie celebrated her 2 month birthday in FLORIDA!!  This is why this post is 4 days late!

Evie is getting so big and is so much fun.  Everyday her little personality shows more and more.

Here's a few things about our little miss Evie:
-She is a wonderful little sleeper.  She has slept through the night probably a dozen times now (4 nights while on vacation! Now that's a little vacation for mommy!)
-Evie loves her bouncy seat.
-She loves to nurse - or at least when mommy has not had milk!  I gave up milk for about 3 weeks and then over Easter decided to add it back into my diet - Evie did not like it at all - we had about 3 days of fussiness and spitting up before I decdied to take it out of my diet again.  I have had small does of milk (butter, ranch) since then and it does not seem to bother her but when I have straight up milk (ice cream, coffee drinks) she does not like it so I'll continue to try and keep it out of my diet and try to introduce it again in a couple of weeks.
-Evie loves her paci already!  There are many times when she is fighting sleep and she acts like she wants to nurse but as soon as I put her on she has trouble so I just give her paci and she is out pretty quickly.  The boys love to help by giving her the paci!
-She loves the moby wrap.  Buying the moby wrap was a little splurge on my part and I must say it was the best investment.  She loves it and pretty much anytime she's in it she falls asleep.  Now if we can just get daddy to wear it! :)
-Ian likes to read to Evie.  Ian loves to read in general but lately has started to read to Evie - it's pretty darn cute.
-Just this morning Borne burped Evie all by himself.  He loved it.  I had just got done feeding her and put her on my should to burp her and he came over and starting to pat the air so I asked him if he wanted to burp Evie.  He said yes and when I moved her so he could pat her back he put his arms out like he wanted to hold her and do it so I put Evie on his shoulder and he held her with one arm and burped her with the other.  He only patted her two times and was done but he was so proud and followed with a big kiss on her head!

-Evie experienced a lot of firsts this week with our trip to Florida.

• first plane ride (along with the boys!) and did wonderful.  She slept through most of the flights but a few times was awake and checking things out.
• Sea World
• Disney World
• a swim suit and the pool

It's so hard to believe that Evie is already 2 months old but she is a sweetheart and we all love her so much. 

A couple pics from vacation!

Borne's Hair Cut

Borne had not had his hair cut for a very long time.  We were kind of liking it long but thought it was time for a cut so Chris got him trimmed up.  We think he looks super cute with his short hair!

Evie's Wall

We finally got Evie's wall pictures hung.  I ordered 3 of them.  Karis made us the super cute date/name/birth info one and then the giraffe and elephant are cards we received in the mail (I thought they were so cute they deserved to be framed! So thanks to my Aunt Denise and our friends Zach and Emily!)

I'll get a picture of her name letters on the wall also one of these days!

New Pics on the Wall

I love the new pictures in our main hallway!
