Ever Olivia ~ 4 Months Old

Evie Girl,

4 Months old and you have done so much this last month! Besides growing before our eyes you got to met so many new people that just adore you! You made your first trip to Utah to visit a lot of family and see Daddy's brother get married. You got to meet your Great Grandparents who couldn't get enough of you. You also got to meet more of your cousins, aunt and uncles that you also have wrapped around your little finger. Your Grandma and Grandpa Hammond came to Texas and meet you as well. They loved you so much they wanted to pack you and take you home with them!

It has been a huge month for milestones too baby girl. You rolled over for the first time and it was beautiful! Grandma and Grandpa were lucky enough to be out here when you did it the first time and we all just cheered! So cute. You have also discovered your toes and love to hold your legs up and hang on the them. Your discovering how good they taste because they are in your mouth a lot just like everything else you can get your little paws on. Your also about to sit up on your on too. You can sit up if you're leaning on your arms but then topple over after a few seconds. It's adorable to watch. 

No teeth yet but you drool more than a puppy so we're sure they are coming any day now. You have come around to smiling at just about anyone who holds you. We miss seeing all the family because you just smiled for a two weeks straight! You love when people smile at you and you always return an adorable gummy grin! Pretty sure you want to start eating real food now cuz you always reach for mommy's when she's eating. You really love to reach out and grab anything and everything though. 

You just got your 4 month shots a few days ago and you were so brave! You didn't even cry! They gave you two big shots and some little drink with medicine in it. That was adorable. It was really sweet tasting and you were pulling the cutest face. I don't think you really enjoyed it. The doctor says you are growing right on schedule though. You are actually in the 99th percentile for height. Since you were born you have already grown 7 inches. You are now 27 inches tall! You are in the 95th percentile for weight and are a healthy 15.5 pounds now! You're gonna be tall just like your momma. 

It has been an amazing 4 months watching your grow and see your personality coming out. Daddy and I were really blessed with such a happy baby and we love seeing you smile at us everyday! We love you more and more everyday little bug!

Love,

Mommy and Daddy

Ever Olivia ~ 3 Months

Baby Ev,

Three months in the blink of an eye baby girl. You are getting bigger and more beautiful every day honey. The older you get the more active and amazing you become. You smile and talk at us all hours of the day and we can't get enough of it. You have really discovered your fingers nowadays and you love nothing more than to put them in your mouth. Before you eat, after you eat, while I'm changing your clothes, when you're in the bath tub...ALL. THE. TIME. It's pretty darn cute though. I can only imagine how it'll be when you start to teeth. ....can't wait....eek. 

Daddy and I are pretty sure you are only days away from full on laughing out loud. You sort of make a little coo noise when we do things that you like and make you smile. You have now come around to enjoying having daddy blow raspberries on your tummy. It used to terrify you and you'd start to cry whenever he'd do that now you just grin like crazy. So cute. 

If at all possible, you love the bath even more. You now kick your arms and legs the whole time and start to fuss when it's time to get out. Bath time is a favorite around here. You really like to sit up now and sort of get frustrated when you're laying down. I think it's time for a bumbo. You enjoy being able to see everything that's going on around you. 

If at all possible Daddy and I love you more and more everyday. You are beautiful in all your baby cuteness! We love you to the moon and back baby girl!

Love,

Mommy and Daddy

 Bonding with Dad

 Loving you and all your baby rolls.

 You love being wrapped up for nap time.

After your bath. You'd live in the tub if you could.

 Can't get enough of your daddy.

 Little lady in red.

You're coming around to actually liking tummy time. 

Everyone loves your Buddha belly.

You are turning into just the happiest, smiley baby.

Our sweet berry baby.

 Never seen a cuter crack. 

Mother's Day

So grateful for this beautiful baby girl giving me the greatest gift, becoming a mother. I have loved being  a mom every step of the way. From the sleepless nights to priceless smiles, this has been the best journey of our lives. So thankful for a wonderful husband who has helped me be the best mom I can be and supporting me and our sweet Ever through the rough times and the greatest moments. And as always, I wouldn't be the mother I am today without my own mom. She has shown me what it is to be a mother and I'm grateful for the way she raised me and for her example. I love you mom, and so does our sweet baby Ever. 

Happy Mother's Day Mom

Ever Olivia ~ 2 Months Old

Sweet Ever,

Little girl, just like last month I can't believe another four weeks have passed. You get bigger and more beautiful with each passing day bug. Mommy and daddy are more in love with you than ever before. Only in the last few weeks have you really started smiling and cooing at us. There is nothing more amazing honey. We both can get you to smile so much and we just love it! I can sit and baby talk with you all day. This last week in April you have done so well sleeping at night. You only get up once now and sleep amazingly the reswt of the night. Mommy and daddy couldn't be happier about that.

This month on Easter Sunday we were able to bless you in church and that whole week you finally got to meet Grandma and Grandpa Lee as well as the Johnson clan. Can't wait for Grandma and Grandpa Hammond to come out in June so they can meet you as well. They already love you so much.

Just yesterday we took you in for your two month check up and shots. Mommy had to have Daddy come along because I was a little nervous for the shots part. Turns out I could have handled it because you were one brave little girl and only cried just a little. So proud babe.At two months you weighed 13 pounds and are 24 inches tall. Growing like a weed kid. We think you're gonna be tall like your momma!

We are so taken with you every day sunshine. We love you so much and can't wait to see what month three brings.

Love,
Mommy and Daddy

Went to your first Easter egg hunt at the park.

We colored Easter eggs by the pool with the fam. 

Momma took more photos of your hair. Can't help it. Just cracks me up.

You got your very own Easter basdket this year complete with a personal apple from Grandma and Grandpa Hammond.

 You LOVE bathtime now.

You were blessed in church becoming a member of
