evelyn claire {four months}

dainty. precious. content.

evelyn, you are the sweetest baby! from the moment you wake, you are full of smiles. you cry when you want to eat (and mommy is taking too long), but we don't hear much of that cry otherwise.

you are long and lean, like your oldest brother, with some adorable leg rolls that only a baby can get away with. you're fitting nicely into your 6-month clothes and a size 2 diaper. your last weigh-in (a week before turning four months), you were just about 15 pounds. our little Thanksgiving turkey!

your hair is changing-- all that new hair is coming in and I think it's going to be light, just like your mommy and daddy's when they were kids.

your brothers love you-- they bound around endlessly, but when they come to you, it is all kisses and sweet talk. ("sweet gwirl", as ethan calls you....and "eh-eh-en", as levi says your name). even strangers comment on your adorable-ness when we are out. I tell them you are as sweet as you are pretty.

little girl, you are sleeping through the night. most every night now. even if you weren't, you would still be my favorite little girl named Evelyn Claire, but this is quite spectacular. now if we could work on your nearest older brother...

you are holding your head up great, starting to wiggle all the time, and LOVE your hands. you are always munching on them or holding them together, which is so cute, by the way. you have yet to discover those little toes, but that's probably due to the cold weather that means they are almost always covered! sad. those rare moments when you get floor time, you roll over onto your side. SO close to a full rollover!

your little voice is girly and sweet-- you occasionally will give us a big happy squeal and other song-like noises. people tell me that girls are more chatty than boys. I find that hard to believe, as your brothers are constantly talking, but I guess we will find out soon enough!

this month, you met each of your grandparents! what a delight you are to each of them and how special each of them will be to you as you grow up. you are one blessed girl to be surrounded by such a loving extended family. I look forward to your meeting all your extended family!

we love you, baby girl Evelyn! thanks for adding so much joy to our family and our lives!
