Some Unique Firsts

Here are some of Eve's more obscure and less signifigant firsts. Here she is sporting her first pair of blue jeans. We couldn't help but think about how much she just looked like little adult. And her shirt even had the layered white shirt look. The other picture is Eve playing her first instrument, the keyboard. Tyler tried to teach her how to make sounds and now she does enjoy banging on the keys. We hope she will love music, but have more talent at it than we do.

First Feedings

When Eve went to her doctor's appointment last week, the Dr gave us the go ahead to start giving her food. It is a good thing because everything is goign that direction anyway. So we gave her her first meal of rice cereal on Sunday night. She took a few bites and seemed to like it. Since then she has been eating a little over a Tablespoon every night and just gobbles it down. Her are some pics.Getting Ready for the First Meal

Four M onths Old

On Friday, Eve turned 4 months old, how time flies. She seems to be doing more and more each day. She rolls over and now eats cereal, what next? Sometimes I am afraid to blink and she will be running away. Tyler talks about saving for her wedding. I was working on accepting her going to college and saving for that, now her being married. If he mentions being a grandparent I might go off. Anyway, I love the expessions that she makes and making her giggle is such a highlight. I'm glad that most of the time it takes little effort, she can just be so happy. Above is a picture of her wearing her newest trendy baby item, the baby legs. They are girls or ladies knee high socks that are adapted to cover her legs. I just cut off the feet part and made a cuff and there you go. You may ask what the benefit it,well they keep her warm and I don't have to take them off when I change her diaper unlike most pants. I love them and by the way I did not come up with the idea. I just learned how to make my own at around $3 a pair instead of $12.

Getting Ready to Roll

Sleeping with my Dad

Mover and Shaker

Eve has officially joined the world of the movers and shakers as she rolled from her belly to her back for the first times. Today she even did it at the doctors office while holding onto the paper from the table. She ended up looking like a giant soft taco and was all upset but would not let go of the paper. She has even been trying to crawl out of her bumbo. I came in the other day and she wiggled and was half way out. I had a good picture but it was accidently deleted but maybe I will capture it soon because its hard to keep a good girl down.

Where have we been?

I'm sorry for the lack of posts, but me and Eve have been off for the past week in Pennsylvania. It was a great trip and Eve was quite a trooper which was good because Tyler was too busy to come with us. Eve was able to meet her two great-grandmas and some of her other extended family as well as spend time with her Grammy and Poppop and Aunts and Uncles. We took lots of pictures and I will share some today and in the next few days.

Picture taking

Our local 5 and dime type store is having a cutest baby contest where the money raised goes to charity and the winner gets a gift certificate. Well I have been trying to take picture of Eve with her huge smile and deep dimples but its hard to work the camera and make her laugh. Anyway here are some of the pictures I have take.

Haircuts and a Highchair

Today I had to go and get my official mom cut. I was growing it out, but Eve decided that her new favorite thing to do was grab it. I also had to get some of her hair cut. She was starting to have a mullet because it was so long in the back, so she got that trimmed and some of her bangs. The other day we decided to buy Eve a highchair so she could join us at the table. It is one of the space saver ones which is seeming to work well. She did not like it at first, but today she really warmed up to it. Here are some pics in the highchair with its five point harness. When she's bigger she can eat in it or drive a stockcar.
