Sleeping

Evie has been a pretty good sleeper, but we hear that this is typical of a 2 week old and that the 3 week mark is when everything changes. Most of the time, she'll fall asleep in the bassinet on her own, but she's getting a bit fussier now and wants to be held in order to fall asleep now. Here's a few videos of Scott and me trying to get her to sleep! She's such a cutie, especially when she's sleepy.

Summer Solstice

Yesterday was the longest day of the year and we had beautiful summer weather to mark the occassion! We took advantage and took Evie for her first walk around Greenlake in the evening. She did really well and didn't cry or fuss except for just a little when we stopped for some photo ops.

Beautiful night on Greenlake

Evie not liking our stops one bit.

Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day to all the papas out there! And a very special Happy First Father's Day to Scott, who is the best new dad there is. I think it's the cutest thing to see how little she is compared to him, and how protective he is of her already. He's going to have a heck of time when she's a teenager! =)

Daddy time!

Scott loves being with his little girl. He gets his exercise walking around the house trying to calm her down, and once she's quiet, he likes to hold her while he's reading, playing on the computer or watching TV. It's super cute to see!

Happy 1 week birthday Evie!

It has been too too long since we last posted but we figured we haven't been doing too many terribly interesting things that you would want to know about... until we had baby Evie last week! Now we have a good reason to update this blog again. We'll try to update it regularly with new photos and videos of the little one.

Our little chick-a-dee is 1 week old today! She was born last Thursday, June 9th and 6:55pm. She weighed 6 lbs 14 oz and measured 19.5 inches. We went to the doctor yesterday and she's lost some of her birth weight and is at 6 lbs 7.7 oz right now, but has grown to 21 inches already! Since we see her all the time I am not aware of the changes she's going through but when I look at pictures from last week, I can see how much she's already changed.

She's starting to smile now although it's just in her sleep and at random times. It sure makes for some amusing times where we all try to get her to smile when she is awake!

Here's a pic of the little girl, all wrapped up in the beautiful pink blanket and hat that PohPoh (Grandma Ada) made for her.

Happy birthday Evie!
