Two Months Old

Bryan took some 2 month old baby pics of Evie this weekend. Thanks to the creativity of Bryan and his mom, we incorporated the awesome damask print, which happens to be a shower curtain! We even got some pics of Evie with her cousin Audrey Lane, who is 5 months old.

Evie found her thumb...

Say Hello!

Geaux Tigers!!!

See what Bryan dresses her in when I'm not around!!! I have to admit, it was pretty exciting to see LSU win the World Series (& they did beat Texas!)!!!

Happy Father's Day!!

On this day, Bryan had Elle in his heart and Evangelene in his arms. It really fills my heart with such joy to see him love his daughters so intensely. I am very blessed to have such a wonderful husband who is also an amazing father! (He even changes poopy diapers, despite promising he wouldn't!!)

I also want to celebrate my own Dad. I wish I could seen him more often than we do. He is a wonderful man who taught me a lot about hard work, commitment, keeping a positive attitude and loving unconditionally. He even taught me a song about the little birdies that he would sing to us. Well Dad, take pleasure in knowing that Evie smiles everyday when I sing her your song!

I love you!

Evie meets Ami Bree

My sister Bree flew in from Kentucky this past weekend to meet her new niece. I was bummed that she couldn't bring Tanner--I miss my nephew so much. We had an awesome visit that went by too quickly! Of course we went shopping and stayed up into the wee hours of the night talking. If our mom would have been here too....wow, we would have never come home from shopping or gone to bed at night. At one point we even skyped (internet-video chatted) with Tanner. For being just 2 years old, he did pretty well only being able to see his mom on the computer screen. Although, he did keep trying to hug the computer-LOL!!!! I was very grateful for getting a big break from diaper duty--Thanks Ami Bree!! ('Ami' means friend in French; we wanted to give her a cute name since I am 'Nanny' to Tanner) I think Evie got spoiled this weekend by Ami Bree who not only held her constantly but bought her a swing and her first little bracelet (we do love our accessories!). Now, we can hardly wait for Tanner and Evie to meet in August!

6 Weeks Old!!

Evangelene Ava is six weeks old today! After her first trip to the doctor's, Evie now weighs 10 lbs 8 oz and is 22 inches long. She is just starting to smile and really recognize me. Now I understand as a mom how you can think even the smallest smile or movement is just 'soooo cute'!! I can hardly stop staring at her all day long, just waiting to catch a glimpse of that next smile or hear her coo. Yesterday, Bryan and I were very grateful to get an afternoon date at the movies---Aunt Blanche was kind enough to watch Evie for a few hours. But of course, I could hardly wait to get home and hold my baby girl! We are very excited to find out that Aunt Bree is coming all the way from Kentucky to meet her new niece...we can hardly wait until Friday when she flies in!!

Evie's First Bath

Evangelene finally had her first 'real' bath when she turned a month old. It seemed like it took forever for her umbilical cord stump to fall off. Thankfully, she seems to like the bath much better than the 'sponge baths' we used to give her. I am pretty sure Bryan thinks I don't bathe her enough (funny coming from the man in the house), but I keep reminding him that she doesn't really do much to get dirty!!
