2 months old already!

Oh Evie Ann........You are starting to smile and make sweet, happy noises. You may still be tiny, but you have grown so much! I love you so much. I didn't know how this was all going to work out, but here we are! And we are working!

Evie had her 2 month checkup and shots on Wednesday. I was worried that the doctor was going to tell me she was too small and that something needed to be done. I worried for no reason. He tells me she is growing fine and that she may just be a petite child. She got 3 shots and the oral polio vaccine and she did SO well. Hardly cried at all and then slept a ton! I am so blessed to have a baby with such a sweet disposition. Here are her 2 month stats:

9 lbs 5 ounces

22.5 inches long

Catching up: 3 am at work style

So apparently I loaded these in the wrong order..........but thats ok! Here is a quick update on our "little" family.
Pierce remains a sunshine and a joy to be around. He just makes everyone around him smile. We are so lucky he came to our family! I dont have any pictures of him with Evie, but he LOVES her. He kisses her head, he puts her binky in her mouth, he "pats" her head and back. He definitely doesn't act like he's been displaced as the baby of our family.

Gavin is the best son and big brother that any person could ask for. He loves the babies so much. He never complains about all the help I require him to give to me. He is a genuine blessing from Heavenly Father.

This picture I took Sunday morning when I got home from work. This was what I came home to.........Gavin took care of the baby because she would NOT sleep for Grandma Bunnie the night before. Little Evelyn slept all night and then when she woke at 6 am, Gavin snuggled her until I got home. I am so lucky.

Rainier just loves his new sister. I was really hoping he would like her after the reaction that he gave us all after the birth of Pierce. You can motivate him to do just about anything if you promise him that he can cuddle Evie.

Addie and Evie in the hospital. Addie is so glad to have a baby sister and not be the only girl in our famly. Evelyn was born in the same room at the same hospital as Addie. Such memories....

She is an amazing baby. We all love her so much. When I was pregnant with her I knew I would love her. I had NO idea I was going to love her as much as I do. She brings calm and peace to me. I'm not entirely sure how that works, being that she is a newborn with needs and demands, but she really does. I feel so much more certain that she was meant to be here for a reason.
