Five Weeks Plus Picture Post

To make up for lost time (since Evie is well on her way to 6 weeks), I'm posting a bunch of pictures downloaded from my phone - something I haven't done since week 1! So this is a bit of a digest of the past 4 weeks or so - enjoy! At five weeks, Evie is a wopping 10lbs 14oz! (Claire was only right at 8lbs at this same check-up). She continues to thrive and delight, although to be truthful she is not quite as easy a baby as her sister was. We are still having considerable trouble with spitting up/gas, but sometimes that's just the way things go. This little chunky monkey is already outgrowing 0-3 month clothing. She has amazing head control and already sits in the bumbo seat for short periods of time.
My favorite Evie outfit so far - it has a matching blankie and came from our sweet neighbor.
Got to love the Kramer hair-do
Beautiful girl - yes I'm biased
Nestled in her sling (made by Aunt Kathy for Claire). She now does pretty well in her front carrier as well which allows me to play with Claire a little more when Evie is awake. Claire is a little jealous of her in the sling/carrier, though.Found this picture of the two girls together - isn't it cute? I wish I had bought that "little sister" shirt in a larger size. We really thought we were going to have another tiny baby, but she's already outgrown it and I didn't get a chance to have her picture made with Claire in her Big Sister shirt...
Speaking of the big sister, here are a bunch of photos of Martha Claire. It's funny, Evie's the new kid, but I still take more photos of Claire. I was told that this is normal and it's probably because Claire is into so much more these days. Evie pretty much eats, sleeps and poops, but I'm sure we'll get plenty of pictures of her as she grows and changes.Eating an apple - yep, she can eat a WHOLE apple
Trying out a tricycle - not quite big enough to reach the pedals, but she is getting close!
At Cracker Barrel with her big cousin, Sara (We were celebrating the family January birthdays - mine, NiNi's, and Sara's)
Wearing one of Evie's hats - doesn't she look like a little flapper chick?
She arranged a group of her dolls and sat down and "read" a book to them. Too cute!
You can't keep kids out of boxes! Incidentally, this picture reminds me of Colson when he was a puppy always trying to get into boxes, baskets, etc. that were really too small to fit him. So funny. :)
And saving the best for last - Claire's very first pigtails! Daddy thinks she is stinkin' adorable in pigtails.
