2 Months of Evie

Well, here we are already at that 2 month mark!  AMAZING!

Evie is growing like crazy these days and fast leaving behind that newborn look.  She is so alert  and her little eyes get so big when she is awake and taking in the world around her.

Our original thought that she was going to be a super laid back sleeper has been completely dismissed.  She is rather fussy and aside from the night time, she doesn't sleep really well during the day.  Of course a lot of that is still related to the fact that she is only 2 months.  I suppose I can't expect too much.  Much like Lily, she is an extremely light sleeper and when I do get her asleep, I don't want to move or make a peep.  I ultimately hate living that way, but I guess that is just how my kiddos are gonna be.

She and Lily are doing so well together!  I love watching and listening to them.  Lily is only too quick to help me when Evie is crying and Evie will hold Lily's hand in the car.  I especially love when Evie is crying and Lily says ever so sweetly, "It's okay Baby Evie."  Too precious.

Evie's favorite place right now is anywhere that she can look out and see the world.  She loves to be up on her Daddy's shoulder.

There is so much to see up there, and often times she just loves to lay on the floor or couch.  Tummy time is getting better, but it is still not her most favorite activity.  Since her little neck muscles are still trying to get strong enough to hold her little head up she spends some or most of her tummy time doing a face plant into the floor.  Not so exciting for a baby that likes to see her world.

When Evie isn't sitting content, cooing and talking or attempting a smile, she has a temper and man can she scream.  WOW.  When she is hungry it goes from 0 to ANGRY in a split second.  There is no middle ground with the little one.  I can quickly see a very strong personality and a temper to rival most.  I know what you all are thinking, "Good luck Mom and Dad."  Well, we are up to the challenge.  Bob and I are confident that if our girls have strong wills, they are going to rule the world.

 Evie is simply beautiful.  Her dark hair and blue eyes make for a gorgeous little face.  I am so humbled every time that I look at her to know that the Lord gave her to us.  She grew inside of me and all of the hard parts of my pregnancy were, in fact, totally worth it!

Happy 2 Months Little One!

Hear Ye, Hear Ye

......a grand ole time we had!

This past weekend, Bob and I took our little family to the Colorado Renaissance Festival.  I grew up going there every year and I simply could not wait to take Lily.  She is still a bit young to really enjoy everything about it, but we had a great time!

Bob and I talked it up all week and by the time we got in the car, Lily was ecstatic!  She kept on telling us, "I'm so excited!"  We promised that she would see Kings and Queens and horses! I was only too happy that I was able to deliver on all accounts.

Upon arriving through the gates we headed to a little shop to get Miss Lily all princessed out!  She picked the brightest purple dress she could find and simply could not wait to get it on.  What a pretty little lady.

Once all dressed up, we started our grand tour.  I love seeing all of the costumes that people don.  It is seriously like a society and some of the attendants go all out, even to the point of accents and a whole new language!

We happened upon the Royal pavilion and the King and Queen were there to meet everyone.  Lily walked right up and introduced her little self.  The Queen was so precious with her and later when we saw her in the parade she saw Lily and actually took a moment to say hi to her.  I'm not sure who was more excited, me or Lily!

After checking out a few of the rides and attractions we had ourselves a good old fashioned hot dog and then decided we had better head home.  We knew it was time when the little princess curled up in her Daddy's shoulder.  We can see the Joust "to the death" next year.......

Lily loved the Renaissance Festival and wanted to wear her princess dress all weekend!
