Smiley Baby!

In the past three weeks since I have been back at work, I swear Evie has changed a little each day when I come home! She started smiling shortly before I left for work and now we can get her to do it anytime we tickle her tummy or blow on her face (this has accounted for hours of entertainment for Chad)! There is nothing more endearing than those gums and that dimple (courtesy of Auntie Courtney)! She also has started cooing and will carry on quite the conversation with anyone who will listen. I wonder where she got her talking skills? Our favorite new skill, however, is when she coos and smiles at the same time, which slightly resembles a laugh, but we aren't so sure. Although she seems to mostly do it after she passes gas (which Chad and I still laugh out loud over), we think she may have an idea that we think it is pretty funny and mimics the two of us chuckling!

Evie also just had her two-month appointment. Mercifully, Dad accompanied her for her big shots, although she handled them like a champ and only cried for a few minutes. Apparently, it is a rather large needle! After some snuggling from Dad, she seemed to recover quite nicely. We were thrilled to hear she was tipping the scales at a solid 12 pounds, 3 ounces and was 22 and 3/4 inches long (both in the 75th percentile). Her head only measured in the 20th percentile but neither mom nor dad have big heads (we are, after all, very humble)! The doctor also confirmed our belief that she is a pretty strong little bugger when she stated she could hold her body up as well as a 4-month-old! That same afternoon, she rolled over from her tummy to her back. It is crazy to think our little pumpkin will be crawling before we know it! YIKES!
