2 months old!

Another month goes by and our little girly is another month older! Here's all the vitals...


Weight - 10lbs (28%), I was so sure Eva would be heavier. Ethan was 10lb 4oz at his 2 month checkup.
Height - 20 3/4 in (4%)
Clothes - newborn, she could probably start wearing her 3 month outfits, but I'm still in denial :P
Diapers - size 1 disposeables and the smallest setting for cloth
Sleep - nighttime sleeping is still going well. When we put her down the first time, she usually throws a fit, but she does go promptly back to sleep after her midnight feedings. She's slept as long as nearly 7 hours, but nothing too consistent yet. We typically get a good 5 hour stretch, followed by a 3-4 hour stretch.
Eating - averages about 3 hours between feedings. We're up to 3oz bottles but Eva prefers her milk fresh from the tap!
Likes - being held, play mat, stroller rides, shopping with mommy, pooping for daddy (just ask Chris), smiling at Ethan
Dislikes - diaper changes, bath time, sleeping in her crib (I really need to work on this one!),bottles
New tricks - this one is really new, but Eva likes pulling her blanket over her head (we cover her with a light blanket because she hated being swaddled) like she's playing peekaboo - I need to get a picture of this one!


A post isn't complete without pictures!

2 months old! The sign is a little lopsided, but that's what happens when you have a little wiggle worm!

Yet another sibling picture :)

Easter Festivities

Egg decorating, egg hunts, farm visits, Easter bunnies...Ethan and Eva had a good Easter!


Our family goes to Heritage Prairie Farm almost every Saturday for the farmer's market - the weekend before Easter, they had an egg decorating event as well, so we took Ethan! Ethan was very good with the dyes and following directions - he was very careful in picking just the right color :)

The 3 eggs in front are my boy's!

The Wednesday before Easter, Whole Foods had an Easter egg hunt, so I took Ethan! He was a little bit confused because he kept trying to pull groceries off the shelf, but luckily mommy found a stash of eggs for him. At first I was avoiding the Easter bunny (thinking of past very bad encounters with Santa Claus, McGruff the crime dog, Curious George and various other costumed characters), but Ethan was insistent on meeting "that big bunny", so we waited our turn and it was great! Ethan hugged the bunny, gave him a high five - all without tears.

Waiting in line like a good boy

Happy boy

Since Ethan had so much fun at the farm decorating eggs, I bought a little dye kit and decorated them at home. Again, Ethan was very good about following directions and I didn't have a mess to clean up.

Sporting one of Eva's clips (put in with Chris's okay - trying to keep his hair out of his eyes!)

Very carefully putting the egg in the green dye

7 very beautifully decorated Easter eggs

For Easter this year, we went out to Grandma and Grandpa Barber's for dinner and a mini Easter egg hunt in their family room.

Busy hunting eggs - once we explained the color coding (each kid had 2 colors), he was very good about giving the colored eggs to the right person!

Cousin love :)

April Arts and Crafts at Home Depot!

Very few things cheer Ethan up more than the mention of doing arts and crafts - the boy loves his arts and crafts and according to this mommy, he's quite talented ;)

This month at Home Depot he made a window bird feeder, although I'm not quite sure how it is one. Oh well, he had fun and that's what matters!

Ethan loves to hammer things!

Carefully painting

Beautiful :)
