Two Months....Really??

It's been a minute since I've done an update. Well basically I have two kids, and we have a crazy life!

But we love every minute of the crazy, messy, noisy life we have (:

Here's a little two month update about Miss Evie Joy!

Height/Weight: We haven't had our 2 month check-up yet, but when we do I'll come back and add it. My guess is she's about 12 lbs, not sure on height. 

Sleep: Evie was a great little sleeper her first month, then it changed to she would only sleep if I held her, then it was no sleep. She was staying awake for 5-7 hours straight, waking up every 2 hours at night, and crying because she overtired. But we got over that little hump and now back to sleeping while being held. She wakes up once or twice at night. I mentioned on my Facebook page that my mom put one of my shirts beside Evie while she was napping and she slept for nearly 3 hours! That's the longest she slept without being held for a while. But I have to admit that I do love that she lets me hold her and cuddle her. She's a great snuggle buddy (:

Eating: She is breastfeeding like a champ! If you can't tell by the picture she has a pretty big appetite. Some days are more intense than others where she will feed longer, or she has more feedings. One of the good things about this is that I feel like it's contributed to her sleeping at night. She seems to get her fill in the day which in turn makes her sleep longer at night.

Sizes: She's mainly wearing 0-3 months, and comfortably wearing size 1 diapers. We are on our last pack of those and once we run out we will move up to size 2. I imagine she will be 3 month clothes soon which means I'll have to start going through Elliana's old 3 month clothes and possibly buying more since Elliana was wearing 3 months in December....it's obviously not December weather outside. 

Milestones: Evie is getting so much more reactive to her surroundings, toys, people etc. Her vision has also definitely improved as she reacts when someone enters the room. We recently bought her a playmat which she loves. She finds the dangling toys & bright colors very stimulating...although she probably gets enough stimulation from her sister alone! She is becoming a smiley baby..finally! She is mostly a content chilled out little gal. And just like her sister (and almost every baby in the world) she loves to watch Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. She can also hold her head up for a while as you can see in the picture above!

Personality: Her personality is showing more and more each day, like I said she's mostly laid back, but she sure is a mama's girl. If she's away from me too long or someone's holding her longer than she wants she cries and cries until back in mommy's arm (which I secretly love...shh ;) ). She loves her big sister! Elliana is like Evie's hero. She loves to watch her sing and dance, let's Elliana hold her, and very happy when sister brings her her paci. One thing Evie has perfected is the "duck face". She cracks us up with her funny facial expressions, but this face is the best. 

Memorable Moment: We had a crazy night a few weeks ago. Elliana came in our room at 3 in the morning. She cried for me to lay down with her so I did, a few minutes later Lucas comes in and says Evie is crying and he couldn't get her stop, so we swap. The girls both go back to sleep. An hour later Elliana is back in our room, now asking to play on the tablet. I tell her to go lay down which of course she wants me to go with her so again, I did. And again, Lucas comes in and says Evie is crying again and he can't get her to stop. As I'm getting up to go check on her he says "It's like she knows when you leave the room." I felt like that night she did and so did Elliana. It was a moment when I realized I will be going back and forth to each child through out my life. My how crazy it can be, but oh how I love it. And next time, Elliana can just stay in the bed with us because walking back and forth across the house at 3:00 am is just not my favorite, especially when I step on the same toy twice in the dark.

I've said it a billion times, and have thought it a billion and one..we are so blessed to have this sweet angel in our lives! Every day is a new adventure with her and her sister. Looking forward to the next month, but hoping it will go by much slower than the past two!
