4 Months

She is 4 months old here...clearly discovering her tongue. She's still sleeping in our room, swaddled. She's almost heavy enough to not eat through the night, but we are headed to Costa Rica soon and there is no need to rock the boat and try to sleep train her before a trip. So, we'll hold out. She really only needs a few pacifier fixes throughout the night...that's still creating a ton of sleep deprivation. But that too will come to an end :) She's so incredibly smiley and sweet. I have yet to hear her cry for something other than a vaccine! Everyone comments that she looks like Corey...which is just how Deia looked. Deia continues to be very lovingly aggressive. Her intentions appear to be good and she likes the idea of entertaining her sister. But she is very strong with Evi, physically and she's up in her face with loud baby talk a lot. It will be interesting to see what happens when Evera can better interact. For now, she smiles through all of it...unless she whimpers from being freaked out :)

School's Out


On a day off of school, some of the NSW girls got together for a tea party at the park. Pretty darn cute :)

Chocolate After Recital

February 24, 2012
I might eat her little face. She just finished her first recital with Miss Marie and wanted a chocolate treat. Seems like a healthy ballerina to me!

NSW Flowers

NSW asks parents to bring in flowers for the school. Aside from fresh flowers being a Reggio staple, it's so nice to have them around. Deia brought these to school and was very excited about her contribution. The only thing more exciting for her is when she brings snack and draws up the images of the food and decides on the serving amount...then she signs it at the bottom :) Adorable!

Always Smiling

2.5 Months - Laughter, sometimes just looking at her brings it on. She's SO easy!!! She still has that amazing dimple on her left cheek, it gets deeper and deeper with every smile. It's hard to keep my mouth off of her face!!

3 Months Old

This is one of our first few photo sessions. She was so intrigued by the camera and gave me face after face after face. She is so alert and happy, it's hard to get a bad photo.This batch of images is the first to really display her character and the maturation of her face. Her little features aren't so smushed together anymore, her eyes so blue and her hair so strawberry blonde!

All Smiles At The Dr.

January 11, 2012: 10 lbs 15 oz - 50% Weight. 23.5" - 90% Height. Evera is tall and thin! Haha. Not for long! She's a riot when we go to the drs office. She literally smiles at everyone the entire time. Then, of course, the only other time I hear her cry, since the moment of her birth, is when she gets a vaccine. But otherwise, easy peasy.
