3 Months

Evie turns 3 months old today. As it turns out, today is also my last day at home with her and she'll start daycare on Monday. I went back to work right after Thanksgiving but with the holidays, we were able to make it work so she did not have to start daycare until she was three months old.

Evie continues to grow and thrive. She is doing a great job holding her head up and I think it close to being able to sit in her bumbo seat. In the last couple of days, her newest trick is bating at a toy. She is especially fond of an octopus that Aunt Genevieve gave her for Christmas. We have it attached to the toy bar on her chair and she smiles and bats at the toy.



All I Want for Christmas is...

Firetruck underwear! That is what an almost three year old has asked Santa for Christmas. Drake has been very specific on what he would like this year: firetruck underwear, a Batman shirt, a blue watch, and blue presents. Based on the conversations that Eckleton, our elf, has had with Santa, it sounds like he will be able to accommodate Drake's requests this year. We have heard that he went out and bought special blue paper to wraps Drake's gifts with.

When Drake begins to tell people his wish list, I think they stop listening when they hear firetruck. A firetruck would be a common request for a two year old but firetruck underwear?

Evie's 2 Month Stats

Evie had her two month appointment last Thursday and is doing well. Her doctor was very impressed with her head control and we are progressing well in the sleep department. She continues to eat about every three hours except at night where we are able to go for a 4-5 hour stretch. Evie has had really good gain since her birth, which we were both pleased with. She continues to smile, especially when her diaper is bring changed and is beginning to coo when she is talked to. When she is awake, she loves to stand and show off her strength and also enjoys looking at herself in the mirror. She is starting to follow us more with her eyes as we move and she loves watching Drake. I think he will be her biggest form of entertainment for a while.
