Evelynn at 7 weeks seems to be doing better since Mom eliminated almost all milk from her diet. There is still room for improvement, so Mom needs moral support as she tries to kick her chocolate habit as well - milk was hard enough to give up! However, Evie is no longer seeming uncomfortable and crying all the time. In fact, we have had some really good days with her as well - smiles are starting up regularly and sweet baby coos as well - a much needed change. And she appears to have one easy soothing technique - baths - which she loves!
Evie is a scooter already. If placed on her tummy, she propels herself around pretty well. No signs of rolling over yet, but she definitely appears to be advanced when it comes to muscle control, so I'm sure it's coming.
She is a big baby. Most of her 3 month clothes are too small, but cousin Nancy's gift package wasn't too late for us to wear everything at least once! She is in size 2 diapers, but I honestly think they will only fit for another few weeks at most - they are certainly already stretched pretty well to their limit. She certainly likes to eat all the time! But despite frequent nursing, even at night, she's a good sleeper - already well on her way to a decent routine of a 10 hour night and three actual naps.

Things I forgot to mention in Claire's 18 month post are as follows:
Claire is addicted to the Wiggles - she wants "Woo Woo" almost any time she's awake. She really likes Dorothy the Dinosaur (the character, not just the song) and loves to dance ballet. Her favorite songs are "Hot Potato" and "Rock-a-bye your bear."
Claire wants to dress herself morning, noon, and night - which includes putting any clothes she can find around the house over what she is already wearing. She seems particularly fond of skirts and hats and loves to put socks on her hands and feet. She has one hat from Nani that is hard to get off her head even when you try to bathe her.
The unusual spring-like February has meant that we can spend a little time outside. This is still Claire's favorite thing in all the world and it is very hard work for mommy during the workweek. Evie does NOT like to be out there and cries the whole time; Claire cries when we come in; Mommy is exhausted either way! However, we keep trying to take advantage of the nice weather and get out there anyway.

These two active little girls are keeping me on my toes all the time. Geoff and I are usually getting pretty good sleep at night still. We are not sure how to go about moving Evie into a shared room with Claire in the next few weeks, but that should probably affect our sleep more than having Evie in our room has, because it will probably mean two babies waking at night for a little while. Our house is a bit messier and more chaotic than we are used to, but for the most part, life is good in the Peel home.
More pictures are coming, I promise!
