Evie's 3 year checkup

Evie turned 3 back in June, but we weren't very timely with scheduling her 3 year checkup so we finally just had it yesterday. We're happy to report that she is a whopping 25.5 pounds! That's the 3rd percentile, for those who keep score. She's 20th in height though. The doctor thought she looked great and everything is on track. No shots this year so we avoided that thankfully. We took this opportunity to tell Evie the doctor told her to drink more milk since she's not a big fan of milk (much like her mama!).

At 3, Evie is a chatterbox! Well, she was a chatterbox way before 3, but she's definitely not as shy now.   She LOVES to sing - everything from Doe-a-Deer (she mastered that before our Hawaii trip in May) to Frozen songs. She is into all things princess and her favorites are Anna from Frozen, Cinderella, Belle and Brave (she always forgets that the princess name is Merida). Favorite colors are pink and green. She can write her name (not always in the right letter order though) and a few other letters and can read numbers to 9. Her favorite foods are mac n cheese. eggs over easy (she loves the runny yolk and thinks it's sauce!) and frozen blueberries. She loves her "stuffies", especially Lambie and Baby.

She's still timid when it comes to trying new adventures. She is still not a big fan of slides. She asks a lot about strangers. She's not really into juice, surprisingly. She still isn't too great with her vegetables but she'll at least take a few bites each night. She's a bit of a mommy's girl. She's getting better at swimming (more in a separate post) but still not comfortable being in the water despite having floaties.

Evie is a real hoot and Scott and I thank our lucky stars everyday we got such a wonderful little girl. She knows to stay in bed until 7, and as soon as it hits 7, she runs into our room every morning and it's one of the best parts of my day to wake up to her happy chatter. I couldn't have asked for a sweeter little girl!

So excited about her Cotton Candy ice cream cone!

Happy new year!!

Goodness, it's already 2025! It's been a really long time since we posted!  We had a very lazy new year. We flew back from LA on the evening of the 31st so spent the last remaining hours of 2024 cozying up on the couch and then fell asleep before it even hit midnight! On New Years day, we slept in, cleaned up the house and then did a quick hike the next day. All in all, a good start to the year! Nora's new blanket hoodie. Cold and muddy trails. We're not in LA anymore! We hiked the Primrose trail that follows Coal Creek.  

1 week checkup

We took Nora to her one week check up today and guess what? We have a porker on our hands! She weighed in at a whopping 6 lbs. 5.5 oz. That's 2.5 oz more than her birth weight! They want the baby to be back at birth weight within 2 weeks so she beat that milestone pretty handily. Hooray! So far, she's been better than Evie at eating (she doesn't take nearly as long, although she falls asleep VERY often) but she's not as good as Evie at pooping. Poor thing always seems to have tummy issues - she's very squirmy and fussy when she doesn't burp or poop. The doc doesn't think it's a big problem though since she still has lots of wet diapers, but we'll have to keep a better eye on it now. We'll have another doctor check up (with shots!) next week.

black and blue

Poor little Nora! This little munchkin was running after her sister when we were out on a walk yesterday and tripped. She banged her face up pretty good, but thankfully it wasn't worse.  A big ole egg! she didn't like me trying to clean those scratches  breakfast thus morning! Lots of jam on her face to match her war wounds!
