What has been going on from January 27th to February 27th? Thank goodness for timestamps or I would have no idea! Evie had her first "sleep through the night" on February 6th. I think she slept a 6 hour stretch. Daniel did a dream feed at 10 pm and she didn't wake to eat again until 4 am! Other than a few nights, this has been her sleep schedule since! After Sullivan was such a terrible sleeper, I never thought I'd have such a good sleeper by 6 weeks old! I think the dream feeds make all the difference, so thank you Lisa for letting me in on that secret! Evie is so happy and laid back. I am very blessed. She gives the best grins, especially first thing in the morning when she wakes up! Evie still eats about every 2 hours during the day. Since she sleeps great at night, I don't mind a bit! She's still only breastfed. She's still in the Rogers cradle in our room at night, but mainly naps in her Nap Nanny seat during the day. We had her 2 month appointment on March 10th and she weighed 12 lb 6 oz! She's 23 inches long. She had a stomach bug the day of her appointment so no shots yet.
Daniel's dad and step mom came for a visit in early February to meet Evie. I don't have any photos on this camera, so will have to get some uploaded from elsewhere. It snowed while they were here, although it was just a light dusting and was gone quickly.
At 5 weeks old, we went to my cousin's wedding in Guntown. I had hoped to get a family photo since the four of us were dressed up, but it didn't happen. I have some proof below that we did actually get showered and out of the house! We all went to my grandparents after the wedding for dinner.
Here is our first official family of four photo (selfie).

During February, Evie made her first trip to Cleveland to visit Bebe and Fred Daddy. It was my first solo trip with both kids, but it went pretty good. I did miss having Daniel to do the dream feeding at night while I slept! The weather was warm and beautiful for most of our trip, so we got to get out of the house!

As you can see below, Sullivan LOVES his baby sister. He wants to kiss and hug her and tell her he loves her all day. Sometimes his love can be very "intense". :) He is a wonderful helper!
We've been getting outside or going for a stroll every chance we get. Unfortunately, there haven't been too many days to do so.
