-Height: 22 inches- 27th percentile
-Weight: 9 pounds 13 ounces- 19th percentile
-Not exactly on a sleep schedule, but has been consistently taking 2-3 hour naps in her rock-a-roo every morning. She usually takes another good nap in the afternoon in the Boba wrap, then another nap or two in the late afternoon/early evening but only lasting about 30-45 minutes. Then bedtime is anywhere between 8:00 and 10:00pm. At night she typically sleeps the first 3 or 4 hours, then is up every 1-2 hours after that. On average I end up getting up with her 2-3 times.
Some nights she does great in her crib. And some nights she wakes up practically every hour- that's when she ends up in our bed. I love having Evelyn close to me and it's super convenient for nursing. The downside is that I don't always sleep so well. We definitely want her sleeping in her room sooner rather than later, but we're also just trying to survive, ha. We're still trying to figure out what works best for us, taking it one night at a time.
-Longest stretch of sleep: 6 hours. The nights are usually a blur. So I take screen shots of the time on my phone each time I get up with her, then refer to it in the morning. One night Evelyn fell asleep at 11:00pm, then I woke up and saw that it was 5:00am. It was a total trip. I kept thinking, there's no way she slept that long, I must not remember getting up with her. I frantically searched my camera roll for screen shots and there was nothing. I couldn't believe she slept so long! At first I was more concerned than excited haha. It hasn't happened again, but it was good to see that she was capable of such a stretch.
-Still can't keep the binky in her mouth for very long.
-For a couple weeks she seemed to hate her car seat and being in the car unless one of us was there to make sure her binky stayed in. But she was pretty content on her own during our last couple of car rides.
-Had her first blowout.
-Had her first haircut. [She was sporting a really nice mullet.]
-Doesn't mind having her diaper changed anymore.
-Successfully took her first bottle. Jay insisted that I go shopping for an afternoon. Evelyn took the bottle like a champ and enjoyed some quality time with dad. And mom enjoyed a little break but sure missed her baby!
-One Sunday we got to church and Evelyn was not happy. I took her from her car seat and rocked her to sleep. She slept in my arms the entire three hours of church. So perfect.
-Loves bath time. She looks so precious and content, I hate when I have to take her out.
-Smiled back at us for the first time and it was magic!
-Smiles and coos more and more every day. It's the BEST thing ever.
-Loves "chatting" with dad when he gets home from work. Cutest thing ever.
-Wearing size 1 in diapers.
-Wearing size size newborn and 0-3 months in clothes.
-Has a wider range of options in her wardrobe now that she's grown.
-Smiles and giggles in her sleep.
-Loves tummy time.

Evelyn is such a light and a constant reminder of heaven, miracles, and all things good. She's growing and changing so fast which breaks my heart, but it's also such a thrill. Then when she pulls out a new trick like smiling, I'm swoon and so excited for the many new tricks to come.
