Evie turns 5!

By
Happy birthday, Evie mcEversons!! I know your birthday was last Thursday, but I'm going to pretend it was today because you had your 5 year doc checkup today. :)

You are an amazing little girl and I'm so proud to be able to say I'm your mama. At 5, you are as chatty as ever, whether its narrating little scenes when you play with your dolls or starting conversations the minute you wake up. I get a kick out of the way you hula and shake your hips when you dance, especially to your favorite song Taylor Swift's Shake It Off.

You are a kind and very involved big sister. You like to give Nora kisses, you (mostly) don't mind share all your snacks and toys with her and are always watching out for her. On Sunday, you didn't want to go on a playdate without Nora because you were worried she would miss you!

You still scare easily - you made us turn off Ratatouille because it was scary. It was slightly exasperating but truthfully, I'm glad you are so innocent and haven't grown up too fast. The worst you've done is become obsessed with nail polish.

You are a great eater and will put away most anything we give to you, although you haven't really been a fan of Indian food so far. You love soup noodles (YAY!) and declare your favorite dinner to be Trader Joe's frozen Orange Chicken. Even though you insist you have sugar, you can't resist popsicles, ice cream sandwiches, frozen blueberries or cupcake frosting.

At 5, you weigh 32 pounds (3 %-ile) and stand 42 inches tall (35%-ile). You might be pint sized, but you have a heart as big as a whale! Love you!

At the doc office today.

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.

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!
