Two Months

I didn't do a one month post because we just edited her one month pictures this past weekend along with Evey's two month pictures! She turned two months last Saturday, which is rather unbelievable. However, sometimes it feels  as though she should be a one year old by now:) 

As a two month old she has definitely changed from the wee newborn and one month old she once was in that she smiles a lot now, is more interactive (she's copying some of my facial expressions and my favorite is when we stick our tongues out at each other), and she's a bit more easy going.

And of course the special thing about turning two months are two month shots, ugh. I took her the other day, and I started crying before the nurse even started! I'm such a weenie. Anyway, Evey was, of course, very angry and sad when it was done, so I fed her and she calmed down. She slept for three hours at home and didn't have a fever, so I assumed she was all good! Nope, not even close, she woke up screaming bloody murder with huge tears in her eyes! It was so awful to hear and I was so glad that Chris came home minutes after she woke up, because my nerves were shot. We gave her some Tylenol and she felt better, poor thing.

So here are her one month and two month pics, with some out-takes thrown in.

One month

Thanks for the blocks Sarah!

Two months

What a difference a month makes! I can't wait to take more of these to track all of the subtle, and not so subtle, changes.

Thus picture is great, we did three different poses but didn't really like the bear one, but we had to keep this one of her beating up the bear!

Super Evey!

Aww look at that smile

Such a ham:)

Gratuitous Evey Pics

OK, so lame, we still haven't converted the Mother's Day pictures to JPEG, meh, but I do have the awesome newborn photos we took, and of course, tons of random iPhone pics! I'll get to them in a bit, I just want to mention that this baby rearing stuff is hard! Holy moley! You hear about it, but I don't really think you understand until you go through it. But she's so awesome and she's growing and changing like crazy, she's six weeks old and over 9 pounds now! And she smiles at us now too, so that makes me feel better amidst a day of no napping:) OK, no more whining, here's that cute girl...

Multi-tasking at its finest

Evey is not amused by this jack-assery

She loves to look at the fan in our room/the ceiling/the light in the window

First trip to Famous Dave's!

Smiling up a storm now

Being a baby is rough work

She looks so big in this picture!

We decided to join her on the floor for dinner

She's pretty cute and is so much fun to watch. She's becoming more and more aware of her surroundings and us, which is exciting to see. We can't wait until she can interact more, although we know we're going to miss this stage and how little she is.

Maternity

This is super lame, but here's some maternity photos and pics from Social Science and High Tea that we attended right before Evey was born. I know, I should have posted these before, I suck, and we're still editing her newborn photos, so you're stuck with these.

In her cute little room, that we only go in to right now to get clothes...

Her amazing wardrobe

My "I can birth this baby naturally!" power stance

We went to High Tea two days before she was born. It was on my list of things to do before she came, and we cut it close! We went with some work buddies who had never gone so they could experience the "High Socie-tea".

Chris is not a tea fan, but he had one cup, that was good enough for me

Drew is up for anything, so glad he came to tea!

Sam and her buddy

I've worn a dress or skirt every time I've come to tea, what has Chris worn?

We're fancy

 Oh Social Science, how we love you. This we went to a week before Evey came, and Steffen, Sam, Mike and Christina joined us too!

 Good times before the kid showed up, glad we got out of the house as often as we did. Not that they're not good times now, it'd just be nice to experience life with adequate sleep and no back/lady parts pain;)

Evey Baby

Evey is now 16 days old, and what a difference a couple of days make! We went from having a newborn who had to be woken up every 2 1/2 hours to eat to a newborn who now wants cluster feeds on occasion, eating every half an hour to hour for a couple of hours, thanks to that fabulous growth spurt. And with all that eating she's gotten bigger! Her weight dropped from 6 lbs 15 oz to 6 lbs 4 oz, but shot up to 7 lbs 2 oz as of last Friday, and so that means that she's bigger than that today. She makes the best faces, faces that I like to call "Evey drunk faces" after she's done eating.

And she's ridiculously cute when you wake her up and get her out of her swaddle, she stretches really big and does a great Robert De Niro impression.

 

Chris was home for the first two weeks, which was great, and Evey and I have been on our own since this Monday, but it hasn't been too bad:) True, when I need something I have to go get it myself, but that's ok, I'm becoming incredibly creative in the ways in which I do things that originally was not cumbersome before having an infant but now is (like the fact that I currently have her lying in my lap while I type this). Granted, I'm not doing as many things as I did before, I basically live in our bedroom unless I need food, feel like cleaning downstairs a bit (this has only happened because people were coming over), or to watch TV with Chris. Other than that, everything we need is in the bedroom, so when she shows signs of being hungry/tired/irritable, everything is at my fingertips, and the same goes for me in the tired/irritable areas. 

She's had lots of wonderful visitors, who have brought food and wonderful company to mom and dad.

 

Mother's Day was wonderful, and Chris took pics with his camera, but we still need to upload them, so here's few from my phone:

 

I loved that the niece and nephews were fighting over who got to hold her next:) Isn't that dress stinkin adorable? Chris said she looks like a little girl and not like a baby. 

We've also gone out a couple times, mostly to the pediatrician's as well as to a lactation consultation, but we went to a surprise party on Sunday! It was great to be able to show her off to some of my co-workers. 

First time baby wearing, didn't go too bad:)

At the doc's

All in all this parenting gig is pretty awesome, I told Chris last night that if I didn't need sleep, then the parenting thing might be perfect! We've definitely had our trying moments, brought on by sleep deprivation mostly, as well as dealing with the changes our baby brings almost everyday...I think the best piece of advice I've heard is to be flexible. Next post I'll have pics from the photo shoot we did with her and the Mother's Day pics, until then, enjoy this ridiculously cute face!
