9 Weeks is Adorable

Time is flying by! Evie is smiling more each day...if only she was sleeping more each night:)

Chuckles From an 8-Week Old

Evie has started to full on chuckle and laugh on end while she's fed and happy. We sit and make each other laugh all day. Each stage gets more fun!

The Other Faces of Evelyn

Sometimes pictures with smiles are just too perfect, so I uploaded these 2 to show even unhappy faces are pretty darn cute.

Bath Time- Rated R

Evie discovered she likes bath time and getting clean isn't so scary after all. Notice that her hair doesn't take long to wash....it's disappearing. She's been called a boy twice this week. Come on people- would I dress a boy in pink?! Excuse this rated R picture, but it is proof she is really a girl! Some day she'll be mortified that I posted this on the internet.

Watch Out Boys

Evelyn has started to smile and flirt. Did I say watch out boys? You better believe it since Greg is going to keep her locked up until she's 30.

The Jury is Still Out

Wondering who Evelyn looks like? So are we. The jury is still out on which features of the little princess are attributed to Greg or I, so I uploaded a picture of both of us holding her. What do you think?

One month into this grand experiment

So, today we received a wonderful care package from some of our relatives up north - it included some extremely thoughtful gifts for Evie and a few things for Jill and me as well. We were immediately excited about the Utz Crab Chips - a delicacy that has unfortunately not caught on in the South (don't feel too badly for us though as Golden Flake Dill Chips are a pretty good foil to Utz' crowning achievement). Regardless, we were informed that we've been ignoring the blog, and I can't disagree, so here we are.

Evelyn hit the four week mark on Wednesday, and for the most part it has gone according to plan. Not much sleep (can't say we weren't warned), a few impressive crying sessions (again, not a surprise) but mostly a pretty incredible experience.

Jill's folks and my mother have both been up for a little while - helping out Jill once I returned to work after 2 weeks of paternity leave. She's on her own next week, so keep her in your thoughts.

I'm sure I could wax poetic on the wonders of parenthood, but I think that most everyone that reads this blog has kids of their own or has at a minimum heard others talk about their kids at length. So, I'll just go ahead an put up some pictures - the real reason that you're reading this anyways.

P.S. Our apologies for the delayed posting - the non-Facebook generation has been deprived of seeing pictures of Evelyn for the past few weeks. We'll commit to doing a better job in the future.
