{Everly's 2 Month Update}

It's been two months since Everly arrived!  How it is possible she is already 2 months old, I will never know.  We are certainly treasuring and savoring every little cuddle, coo, and smiley face with Evie as we know from experience just how fast they grow and it won't be long before we start looking back at pictures and say, "I just don't remember her being that small." 

At 2 months old, Evie is doing fantastic, she is such an awesome baby, I can't stop saying if we were guaranteed to have another baby as easy as this I would do it again in a heartbeat.  She is a very content and happy little girl, flashes her fabulous grin more and more each day and is starting to be very content to play on her playmate or enjoy her swing a little more each day.  She is sleeping pretty well too.  We have yet to establish a good nap routine, but I am sure that will come in time.  I honestly can't remember how we did it with Anna or if it naturally happened on its own, but I have faith it will come together soon.  As far as her nightly routine, Evie still loves her bath and goes down each night somewhere between 9 and 10 and sleeps until 2 or 3.  She gets up for 1 feeding and goes back down until 6 or 7 each morning.  Our only complaint is that she is the S.L.O.W.E.S.T eater ever.  But she rarely seems to have an upset belly and all systems seem to be working just fine, so in my opinion, the slower the better:)  She goes in for her 2 month appointment on March 5 and I will update with her stats then.  I think she gets her first round of shots as well, so not looking forward to that!

Anna still loves to help with Evie, although I have noticed her interest in the "chores" ("Anna, can you throw this diaper in the garbage for mommy?") seems to have diminished, but she loves to kiss and play with her.  Anna is obsessed with Doc McStuffins, which she cutely refers to as "Doc McDolphins", and her favorite toy to play with is her Doc McStuffins doctor kit we gave her for Valentines Day.  On a side note, that thing was impossible to get my hands on, I had no idea this show was such a hit with the preschool crowd, anyway, Anna loves to "fix" Everly with every chance she gets, which is absolutely adorable until she tries to jam the medicine thing down her throat and then it is time to put it away. 

I go back to work on March 12 and I cannot believe where the time as gone.  Our days seem to fly by and yet most times it doesn't seem like we do anything exciting.  I know Bob can't wait for me to go back so our pocketbook gets a rest, but seriously what else can you do in the dead of winter with two little ones?  I am so loving my time at home with the girls.  Anna goes to school on Tuesday and Thursdays and while I certainly miss her while she is away, I love that I get to spend special one on one time with Evie.  I am also enjoying the extra time with my mom and Elizabeth, we are so lucky to have awesome supportive family so close.

February was a busy month for us as Elizabeth and Brett got married Feburary 16th.  We all had a blast at the wedding.  It was so fun to be apart of it and I am so thankful that they included us to be a part of their special day.  I was a bridesmaid and Anna was a flower girl.  I am sad to share that Anna never made it down the isle..it was a long day for her and I don't think she was feeling the greatest.  By 2:00 in the afternoon, she had had enough and wasn't interested in going down the isle, but she did great at the rehersal and made up for it with her dancing shoes at the reception later on:)  Overall it was a beautiful wedding and day and we all had fun celebrating all weekend long as a family.  I want to wish a big congratulations to Liz and Brett and hope they are enjoying their honeymoon in Disney!  It sure beats our winter weather, so jealous!
