Milestones: Evelyne is 3 Months Old!

Our beautiful smiley girl!

Evelyne, you are still just as perfect as ever! You are learning how to make all sorts of noises and adorable baby sounds and you love to have conversations with anyone that will stop and talk to you. And if by chance you don't feel like chatting, you will simply flash them the biggest, most adorable open mouthed smile and win them over instantly :).

You have started waking up more at night (2-3 times) but you go back to sleep instantly once I nurse you. I'm not complaining though because this is still MUCH better than what I dealt with when your brother was your age!

After your bath (which you hate with a passion), I sing to you as I am lotioning you up and putting your jammies on and you start to sing along with me! It is the cutest thing ever! It's basically just a bunch of random noises made by you putting your lips in a whistling shape, but you think you are singing and I love it!

You love your brother (when he isn't mischievously hurting you) and you get the biggest smile on your face when he talks to you and plays with you! You are perfectly content to just sit and watch him do whatever crazy shenanigan he is doing at the moment. Every morning he runs straight for your bassinet and starts tickling you and saying, "Oh good morning baby!"

You are so strong for your age! I find myself carrying you on my hip like a 6 month old and then realize I probably shouldn't be doing that since you are so small, but you can hold yourself up so well!

We have been waiting to see what color your eyes are going to be when they finally change from that dark, almost black color..... and recently I've been thinking they're going brown! It depends on the lighting though.

You love to be held and cuddled. You are perfectly content almost always as long as someone is holding you. This is difficult though because your brother is also an attention seeker so you spend a lot of your time in your swing crying, while we are frantically turning off the gas from the stove, or attempting to put the toilet paper back on the roll, or cleaning up poop off the carpet, or whatever other crazy thing Austin might be doing at the moment :(. Mom and Dad both feel so awful about this but what can we do?!!

Despite not being able to give you 100% of all our love and attention, I promise we are all completely in love with you and everything you do. You are our little miracle :).

Some fun moments over the past month:

Hanging out with Dad and Austin while they ate Cheetos.

You love your rattle!

Giving Dad some big smiles!

Tummy time on the Boppy.

Oh how I love those big dark eyes!

Hanging out on the front porch with Aunt Nana while Austin played in the water. You HATE getting wet or you would be in there too!

SMILES!!!

Look at all that hair!

You make the most adorable faces.

You woke Mom up super early this morning so we got some quality one on one time downstairs in the rocking chair while everyone else slept.

And then of course you fell asleep too.... leaving Mom awake :(.

You love your Daddy!

Off to church!

Hanging out with Grandma P. while Mommy was at work.

Getting ready to go swimming!

The most adorable little swimsuit ever!!

This was your reaction to your first time swimming hahaha.

I should have known you would hate it.... you react the same way to bath time.

Playing some football and making Daddy proud!

Hanging out at the Multigenerational Center, waiting for your brother's gymnastics class to start. Whenever we are out and about I put you in the baby wrap and you do really well! You hang out until you finally fall asleep in it.

Playing with Aunt Sadie at Grandma and Grandpa Porter's house.

Look at that adorable chunk!

Oh my gosh.... cuteness overload!

Hanging out in bed with Dad and brother.... leaving no room for Mom!

We spend a lot of time outdoors because your brother goes crazy if he is indoors too long.... you don't seem to mind though. You like watching everything he does!

The cutest little watermelon EVER!
