My sweet Evalyn...


I love this TINY bundle SO much, she is SUCH a good baby.  I have been SOOOO lucky and so blessed! She never makes a peep, and when she does it's just a sweet tiny cry to match her tiny little body.  NOTHING fits her! her newborn clothes drowned her! I keep wondering when she is going to catch up to other babies her age? is it going to be a couple months a year or more? I have no idea? I have so many adorable summer dresses in 3-6 months size that I am sure she will never be able to wear before the summer is over.  She should be in preemie size but we don't have any for her! She was in preemie diapers for a while, but after we went through the first couple packages we just decided to use the newborn size that we had on hand instead.  I wish you could tell how tiny she really is but these pictures don't do her size justice.  she is so tiny.  everyone is always shocked when they see her!

William and Lucas love their baby sister! They dote on her and give her loves and want to hold her.  Especially William. He wants to hold her and talk to her all day.  He says things like "Hi Eva, I'm your biggest brother" "I love you so much" "I am going to teach you so many things"... He just talks and talks to her, tells her about his day, about what their future is going to be like, it's adorable and I should record it some time.  He is so sweet with her and can't get enough of her.  Sometimes he is more smothering and doesn't understand personal space!

She has been my best nurser and probably my best sleeper. I hope it doesn't change! She has her two week check up & PKU Apt. today. I'm so curious to see how much she weighs. Her birth weight was 5. 6. and in the hospital she went down to about 4. 12. and at her first apt when she was like 4 or 5 days old she was already up to 5. 3.  So we shall see how much she weighs today. 

I don't really love these pictures. s soon as I uploaded them to my computer I didn't love them. I don't really think it looks like her? I don't know? I want to take some more of her but I haven't gotten around to doing it yet. we'll see if I ever do!?

We have the SAME issues going on over here. These little 5 pounders dont fit into ANYTHING! My Lila has a closet full of darling girl things, and ZERO things fit! Kind of frustrating :) I have wondered the same thing...will anything ever fit? haha. Evalyn is just beautiful Heather! Great work :)

I hope you are keeping a journal of what those boys say. And I hope they don't ever grow out of it. Priceless! Grandma did teach them well :0
