My tiniest love is half a year old, and I seriously think this going to officially go down as the fastest year of my life! I am so excited, though, because all the fun milestones like eating solid food, crawling, and talking are on the way, as well as Evelyn’s first holiday season!
I’m not sure about Evy’s size right now but she feels around 15 pounds…we will find out for sure on Monday at her 6 month checkup. She’s in size 6 month clothes (some of which are even getting a little snug!) and size 2 diapers. She is finally starting to like tummy time more, but is still not a fan of rolling over. After tons of practice though, my girl started sitting up this month, and her world has been so much happier ever since!
Along with finding her new favorite toy (a.k.a. her toes), we finally got to see what she thinks of the little tikes swing (big fan!) and she got a new Skip Hop Activity table which she looooves.
Happy 6 months my Evers! It just keeps getting better with you!
Baylee's 7th Birthday Interview
My baby girl is 5 months old! It feels like it went by in the blink of an eye, but I’m honestly so excited for the next 7 months. The second half of the first year is absolutely the best!
Evy is 14 pounds and is wearing size 6 month clothes and size 2 diapers. Her hair is finally starting to come in and is super light, I think she will be a dirty blonde or strawberry blonde as it grows more! She still hates tummy time and hasn’t rolled from belly to back yet, but she’s thisclose to rolling back to belly. She’s getting super strong and can prop sit with the boppy or some help from mama. Her playmat is her favorite place to be when she’s awake, but sleeping in her crib is a close second. ;) When girlfriend wants to nap or go the bed she wants it NOW!
We had a rough month going through her 4 month sleep regression and leap 4, but it seems to be getting better every day. She’s sleeping better at night now and only wakes up once, naps are hit or miss but okay for the most part, and she’s mostly been a happier baby the last few days. As far as I know she still hates the car, but I’ve managed to not have to take her anywhere for two weeks so we shall see!
This month was mostly uneventful, but Evelyn had her first Father’s Day with Daddy, and her first 4th of July! Both holidays were great, it’s so much fun to have all 3 of my girlies to dress up and enjoy special days with now!
We spent a lot of time outside playing, and she still adores any attention from her sisters! She also tried baby oatmeal and puréed apples. She’s definitely not a huge fan of food yet, so we are going to take it nice and slow and start BLW once she is 6 months!
Mommy loves you so much my littlest princess! Happy 5 months!
She is a growing girl and weighs just over 12 pounds and is 23 inches long. She is in size 2 diapers and 3-6 month clothes now. This month she found her hands and started bringing toys up to her mouth to chew on them! Her pediatrician said she can feel teeth on the way, but my girls tend to spend months teething before a tooth finally erupts, so I’m curious to see how long it takes!
Evelyn’s favorite things to do are: spend time with her sisters, wiggle around and play with her toys on her playmat, and practice sitting up! She hates the car with a passion, but I am hoping that changes soon, because taking her anywhere is miserable. Other than that though she’s a happy, smiley baby most of the time! She’s perfectly content hanging out in her swing watching everyone move about the house, which is so lovely. Also, just a few days ago she has started to truly giggle and it’s absolutely the sweetest sound!
This month Evy had her first dip in the pool and loved it so much! I know we will have plenty of pool days with her things summer. We also had her baptized in the Catholic Church along with her sister, Natalie, and it was just a perfect day!
Mommy loves you so much, my Evy! Happy 4 months, beautiful girl!
The fourth trimester is officially over, and my girl is 3 months old! It has been, by far, the fastest 3 months of my life (though the days are long...I wont lie) My little chunka is weighing around 12 pounds now, in size 1 diapers and 3 month clothes. She’s full of smiles and giggles, and thinks her family is just so funny! She’s also currently more obsessed with sleep than any baby I’ve ever met. She takes 3-4 naps a day and sleeps 11-12 hours straight at night. Her big sisters did not start doing that until they were MUCH older, so I wait every day for her the flip the switch and start waking up again! I make a night bottle and stick it in the fridge every single night just in case she changes her mind.
Miss Evelyn is fully on formula now, and it’s been such a blessing to both of us. She no longer cries through every meal, and my mental health is so much better. I will definitely miss our breastfeeding days, but happy babies and happy mommies are way more important than breast milk!
This lazy babe of mine hates having tummy time 95% of the time, so she still hasn’t rolled over, but her neck is getting stronger every day! She has two sit-me-up chairs (one upstairs and one downstairs) and they are her favorite thing ever. She just loves to sit up and see her world! She’s also still a big fan of her swing, but her favorite place to be is in any of our arms. I definitely think that’s a third baby thing, there’s always someone willing to give cuddles! :)
Evelyn ended her third month of life with her first Mother’s Day. It was so wonderful to get to celebrate with all 3 of my perfect girls!
I love you to the moon and back, my sweet Evy! I can’t wait to see what the next 9 months has in store! Happy 3 months baby girl!
