Evan's 2 month pictures

So I am a bad mother because I should have posted these pictures when I got them back 3 weeks ago. The terrible thing is that Evan will be 4 months in about 2 weeks. I will try to post them a little sooner than I did these pictures.



We did get a few smiles but I am hoping for more the next time.

The New Dress Code For Wal-Mart


Last week Sarah and I went grocery shopping at Wal-mart. I asked her to go to her closet and get her shoes. She took off running but was gone for too long. I went looking for her and found her in the closet going through her princess dress-up clothes. She then asked to wear her tutu, glitter shoes, tiara, and necklace. How could I say no? She does not ever make requests like that and I thought she looked absolutely adorable.

Once we got to Wal-mart I got a few looks that said "You are crazy for letting your kid come to the store dressed like that." However I got more looks that said "What a precious little princess!" Either way I didn't care because all that mattered was that Sarah was happy.

Smiley boy





There is nothing more precious than a baby's smile or the sound of their laughter!

How time flies...



Today Evan is 2 months old. It doesn't seem like it has been that long. He is getting so big so fast. We go for his 2 month check up on Friday and I am curious to see how much he weighs. He is sleeping better at night and only waking up once. I'm hoping he will follow in Sarah's footsteps and be sleeping through the night by the time he is 3 months old.



He likes to sit in his bouncy seat and lay in his play gym. He bats his little hands at the toys that hang down. Sometimes he just lays there and looks at himself in the mirror.



We are getting used to the changes of having a family of 4. It takes us more time to get ready to go places so I have to get up earlier and make sure to pack things ahead of time.



Unfortunately Sarah is still in diapers but I am hoping to work on that more when school is out. She has just about every kind of panties ever made but they sit in her drawer unused because she has no interest in wearing them. I'm not sure what else to try. We've tried stickers, m&m's, oreo cookies, toys, and a potty watch. They all work for a few days and then the novelty wears off and she regresses.



I am very excited for her to start swim lessons this summer. She loves the water. I am hoping that she will be able to doggy paddle by the end of the summer.


Here are some 2 month old pictures of Evan!

Sneaky




I love when Sarah comes up with new words for things. She has replace the word snack with the word sneaky. Once I figured out she wasn't calling me sneaky I tried to understand what she was trying to say. Then she took my hand and led me to the pantry. That's when I figured out that sneaky=snack. We are not sure why this has happened but about two days ago she just made the switch. We think it's so cute and smile every time she says it.


Starting to smile:)
