Evelyn: Two Months!

Evelyn has grown so much!

At her two month appointment on October 4th, we got to find out just how much she has grown! She weighed 11 lbs 12 oz, just over four pounds heaver than when she was born.

She is now 23 1/4 in long, which is 3 1/4 in more than she was just two months ago.

At her appointment she had to get three shots. The nurse did them so quick that they were over before I knew it. Evelyn did scream pretty bad, but it only lasted for two minutes at the most.

Before she got her shots, when the doctor was checking her out, she said that she is the happiest baby he has seen in a long time! Right when he came in the room she started smiling and talking and didn't stop until the nurse came to giver her her shots.

Also during her appointment, the doctor looked at the birth marks on her head. He said that they will get bigger until she is about six months old, and then they will gradually fade away. He just said to be careful that she doesn't get bumped or scratched on those spots because if they start bleeding they will be really hard to stop.

During the last month she has started to coo and talk a lot more, and she smiles basically all day except when she is overly tired or hungry. 

She rolled from her tummy to her back once, but hasn't done it again. 

I started working at an elementary school for 3.5 hours a day, and Evelyn is babysat by a girl named Cassie who tended my cousins when they were tiny. Evelyn absolutely loves Cassie, and gives her a big grin every morning when she first sees her. :)

We finally got batteries for our swing, and Evelyn loves it!

She also still absolutely loves bath time. She has a bath every night, not necessarily because she needs it, but because she loves it and it helps set up her evening routine before bedtime. 

She has basically slept through the night once, but she usually wakes up two times during the night to eat. 

She loves it when her Daddy bicycles her legs really fast. She gets a huge kick out of it.

She loves it when Ben comes home in the evening. She will grin and laugh and talk to him for a long time. 

We are pretty sure her eyes are turning brown!

She is still in size one diapers, and is wearing 0-3 month clothes. She still fits in her newborn clothes, but they are really snug.

Every day that goes by, I love this little girl more and more.

Happy Two Month Birthday, Evelyn! We love you!
