They make us smile everyday and keep us busy. We have amazing family and friends and we're incredibly blessed! Life is good, and God is great! :)

A little sunshine...

Mom and I took Evan to the park yesterday.  The sun was shining and it felt great outside, so we had to go for a little walk!





Evan also had her 4 month check up this week.  She weighed in at 12 lbs 5oz.  And she is 24" tall!  haha  Those are the 20th and 40th percentiles.  She's definitely growing!  We will probably try some vegetable baby food sometime soon!!  Love you, sweet girl!!  :)

Happy Valentine's Day!

Evan woke up to these this morning...


Her daddy is very sweet and loves her very much!  What a lucky little girl.  :)

Here she is, posing in her Valentine's outfit...


Happy Valentine's Day, everyone!!  :)

Chilly willy

It has been COLD here, lately!  We've actually been able to use some of Evan's heavier coats and hats.  The rest of this winter has been very mild (as you remember from earlier posts, we were outside with the carrier and jogging stroller in January!).  Here are a couple of pictures of Evan bundled up in her heavy coat and hat, ready to endure the cold winds (and looking cute doing it)!  :)

 She LOVES her Daddy!  <3

Valentines Day is tomorrow.  Evan wore her cute dress that she received from Chicky's parents to church yesterday in honor of Valentines Day!  Here she is all dressed up:



I must admit....It's nice to have a little girl to play dress up with!  :)  I don't think we go overboard, but it's so fun to dress her in different things.  I try to enjoy it while it lasts, because I know it will be no time at all before she is picking out her outfits and fussing at me about what she wants to wear!

4 months!







We love you, Evan!  Thank you for making us smile everyday!  You are truly a gift from God, and we are so grateful to be your parents and watch you grow up!  Love you baby girl!!  :)

Stand up!

Evan has started putting a lot of weight on her legs lately.  She enjoys standing up!  All she needs is a little balancing help, but can stand up for a good little while.  Here are a couple of pictures (don't worry, the iron isn't plugged in!)  haha :




She might be cuttin' a tooth too.  She keeps working one side of her mouth.  We will see!  Tomorrow is her 4 month birthday.  I'll be sure to update the blog and post a picture!  :)  Happy Friday everybody!

Rice Cereal...yummm!

Evan had her first bit of solid food this weekend.  We fed her some rice cereal, and she seemed to enjoy it.  Most of it didn't get swallowed and ended up on her face and bib, but she liked what she DID eat!  :)  Here are some pictures:







Jake and Amanda came up this past weekend also.  Evan enjoyed hanging out with them!



And we had some wonderful weather for January these past couple of weeks.  Evan enjoyed going outside in the sunshine!  Here she is in her carrier ready for a walk and also going for a ride in our new jogging stroller.




 She also enjoys grabbing her feet ALL the time!  And hanging out in her Bumbo seat and playing with her toys.  She is growing SO fast!!!  <3

Not sure if it's just me, but I think she's pretty cute!  haha  :)  Thanks to Lianna and Allison for doing the pictures....we LOVE them!!
