I keep telling Evalyn she is growing too fast on me but she doesn't seem to listen. We went to the doctor on the 13th and she is a whopping 15 lbs. 10.5 oz. which puts her now in the 90% for her weight. Its down from her 97% from two months ago. I love her chubbiness! I realized I really need to put on muscle faster so a week ago I started lifting some weights. Hopefully it will make carrying the car seat easier. Along with the weight gain she is at 24.5 inches which is average for her age.
This week Evalyn started eating rice cereal. I think she is really enjoying it because she kept making these yum noises and smiles at me. I think if I was eating the same thing for 4 1/2 months, a new taste would be wonderful.
On Saturday, Evalyn had a big adventure. My mom and I took her swimming to the near by high school pool. When we first got there Evalyn was looking around and taking in this new environment. She did eventually warm up and enjoyed her swim. She was smiling and kicking her legs. It was nice to get out of the house
Evalyn is so much fun! She has started breathing through her mouth quite loudly which makes me laugh. It's not because she can't breath though her nose. I think she just likes being noisy. When she gets excited she flaps her arms really fast. She isn't rolling over yet but getting close. She will get up on her side and sometimes hold out her hand for me to grab to help her. She always gives me the biggest smile when I get her in the morning. In fact, I get a big smile when I get her from her naps too. She makes me laugh everyday!
(Here she is today in her Sunday dress. She kept sticking it in her mouth.)
I love my little girl so much and can't wait for Tim to be home with us!
