Tiny Dancer {Four Months}

Evie Girl is a big FOUR MONTHS OLD!!!

At four months old, this little love bug weighs 12.9 lbs and is 24 inches long! She is right on track in the growing department, though I think she's going to be a petite little lady. :) I love it.

I nearly forgot to get these pictures taken today- we were busy busy today! So they're a little fast and furious, but as usual, Evie was movin and groovin during our shoot. Her little legs were kicking and her arms flailing. Soo cute! Bathtime right now is the same- she's started splashing the water and gets a big kick out of herself when the water flies everywhere. It's such a joy to see her sweet, happy little personality coming out.

And of course, working on her roll:

{A perfect 10!}

I just love this girl's "wild hair"! Every time my mother-in-law watches Evie, her hair is always slicked down and in perfect place with a bow when I come home. :) But when it's just us, well, we embrace the wildness. My favorite is the little wayward curl over her left ear. Love you Baby Girl!

Someone decided to start rolling last week!

Sorry for the blurry pictures! The girl was FAST!

Our little love bug is getting big so fast!!

Friday Morning Thoughts

1. I LOVE avocados. Like, in a major way. Must eat some every day. I'm afraid it's starting to border on inappropriate.. Are you with me??

2. My baby girl had to get her 4 month shots yesterday. :(

3. April is not even here yet and somehow it's suddenly exploded with events. My social calendar is officially FULL. I haven't felt this popular since my friend Annie scribbled my phone number on the inside of the boys bathroom stall my sophomore year of college.

4. I have a feeling the question on all of your minds is whether or not I am wasting away and skinnier than crap now that I'm no longer eating dairy. Ha. Ha ha. The answer is a resounding NO. See thought number one.

5. In related news, I am DYING for some pizza. Big surprise.

6. SLEEP.. we have issues. Not as bad as some, but all the same.. issues. Like (1) my girl takes 30 minute naps and (2) she's still waking up 3-4 times a night and (3) she cannot fall asleep on her own. In any way, shape or form. Ugh. ISSUES. Please send your thoughts, suggestions, prayers and reinforcements. Sometimes I wonder if we don't actually have it all that bad, but all these books and "experts" and whatever are telling me to worry about it, so here I am, worrying about it. I'm getting a little obsessed and that's never good. Also, feel free to tell me you still rock your 2 year old to sleep every night to make me feel better. Thanks.

At one time she slept more often.. tiny little baby.

7. I have finally begun work on an actual project for our house! I'm painting my old hope chest to make it functional and useful around here. (Did you have a Hope Chest?? My mom says it was more like I was hoping for a chest.. hehe). It's been for.ev.er since I've tackled anything. Hopefully I'll get lots of work done this weekend.. rather than spreading it out for the next month.

Okay, I'm stopping at 7. My prerogative.

Happy Friday everyone!

Pepper jack has gone

Mozzarella is no more

A cheese-less life, bland.

Groupie

My dad plays in a band back in my hometown.. He's always been a musician and I can remember tagging along to random, um, nightclubs, during daylight hours as a kid when he would have practice. :) Don't tell my mom...

Anyway, when I discovered I was pregnant the first time, I made little onesies for each of our parents as our way of sharing the news. I thought the one I made for my dad and step-mom was pretty cute:

I just remembered a little while ago that they had this, so they sent it our way to get some pictures of Evie in it before she's too big! My little baby is growing!

One of these days we'll make the trip home so she can see her Grandpa play a gig. I have a feeling she's going to be their #1 Fan.

Here is where things started going south.

Sister wasn't hearing the tunes she requested...
