A weekend with the Grandparents

We were so happy to have Grandpa Andy and Grandma Joan here for the weekend, especially since it was mothers day, we got to celebrate with Joan.

Grandpa and Grandma seemed to have a fun time holding miss Evey Rose, she decided to be a sleepy girl, when she wasnt pooping and peeing all over herself. She reached a record of 3 baths in one day on Saturday because she kept making a mess of herself (and her mommy).

While my "In Laws" were here we *i supervised and held the baby* got to make fresh nectarine ice cream from the nectarines that Andy grows in his back yard. It didnt work out well the first time, but the second try turned out very YUMMY!!!

For Mothers Day, Andrew woke up and cooked everyone a yummy breakfast and then we took naps during the day to recover from the night before *neither the dog or the baby would rest their little heads*. Later that night, Andrew took Evey and I out for our FAVORITE, sushi dinner and Dairy Queen afterwards, It was perfect.

Evey is still loving sitting up in her Bumbo chair, she would rather be up looking around and everything going on in the room than to be cuddled and held, which makes me sad but happy at the same time.

So happy we got the grandparents here to visit finally, we cannot wait until they come again! Maybe next time we will take a trip to their house!!!

Almost a Month!!!

According to Andrew *who apparently has been sneaking peeks at my blog while he is at work* I have been neglecting my blog. So sorry my dear, for your child keeps me on my toes.

Little One is still a WIGGLER, she rolls over ALL OF THE TIME, we cant keep her on one side. She can hold her head up pretty darn well, in fact, we already have her sitting in her bumbo chair because she likes to sit up so much and look around, she doesnt even need our help until she SNEEZES and knocks herself over...its cute!

Today was traumatic, not for Evey, but for mommy and daddy. Little one decided to poop through her diaper both ways, through the top and the bottom while she was sitting in her Bumbo, and she didnt bother to let one of us know until we saw it seeping out onto her t-shirt..EWWW! we decided to just pick her up while she was still in the chair and carry her to the tub.

Andrew held her up while i pulled off her diaper, and as soon as i was rolling it up and starting the tub, she decided to PEE everywhere, ...her bumbo chair was filthy, as was her bottom! So little one got a bath, which I think she is actually starting to enjoy, now that she knows what it is!!!

I swear she gets more adorable each day, Her daddy is just in love with her, he is always snapping pictures of her and saying how cute and beautiful she is! I love it.

Now she is relaxing on the couch with her Daddy while he unwinds from the week and his work day. gotta love it!!!

Until Next Time

Miss Evey is 2 Weeks old.

Yay. We have survived our first two weeks of being parents, I was starting to think we wouldnt. Evey is doing wonderfully, she is already rolling herself over, We arent ready for that!!!

We didnt do anything exciting for Easter, we just stayed home and slept all day, all 4 of us.

This week Eveys Aunt is coming to visit her for the first time. We are all excited!!!

Bath and Nap time

So, we finally built up the courage to give Miss Evey her first bath at home.

It went a lot better than we thought, she TRULY does NOT like to have her clothes off at all, but she behaved nicely!

Today has been fairly uneventful, so I decided to experiment a little and see how our little one liked her crib.

I only expected to lay her in there for a few seconds, waiting for her to wail. BUT, to my surprise, she looked around for a little while, scrunched herself up, and fell fast asleep. I stood over her crib in AWE just starring at my beautiful girl as she slept...and I so rudely snapped a few photos.

A big Thank You!

Just wanted to give everyone a big THANK YOU for everything that people have sent us, from the cards, to the flowers, blankets, and anything that we received at the baby shower and in between. We really appreciate everyones generosity and love.

A BIG BIG BIG thank you to my Mom and Dad for all you have done in the past month especially, I was lucky enough to have my mom here for about 3 weeks helping us out with EVERYTHING, she was the best thing ever!!! Im also really glad that my dad was able to fly out even if only for a day to see his new grandbaby, I know it is something we will never forget! We love you!!!!
