we are so far from being able to tell anyone how to do anything... and even farther from parenting. right now our job as parents is to love and keep this child alive.
the last few weeks have been so fun! evynn is smiley and talkative and on board to go on any outing with us! we can usually be prepared for any diaper changes or feedings that cause her to be upset before she completely looses it, so most of our trips have been great! although she's not the best sleeper, we're either making bigger leaps or i'm just so delirious at night i can't remember how often i truly am awake. either way, it doesn't seem as bad a few weeks ago.
at this point, even the grossest part of being mom isn't bad. i do find myself doing things i never thought i would (sucking snot out of her nose...). for some reason, i think any kind of spit up or poop accident is still hilarious at this point. for instance the other night we sat in our car in front of our house to watch the blood moon and evynn had just finished eating. i sat her up to burp her and she spit up a ton all down my shirt.... threw me into a full laughter fit. guess that's a better response than to be mad! ...or yesterday when an impromptu nursing sesh in the backseat of my car in the target parking lot reveal evynn's diaper blowout (anyone know why my childs poop is all on one side or the other?! sheesh!). thank goodness for nursing covers that double as a backup top ;)
overall cody and I love this little cuddle buddy and the joy she brings to our lives! i love this sassy, dramatic personality of hers already! and those grins she shows her daddy.. melt my heart.
links i love for your wednesday entertainment:
i just discovered kortni jeane swimsuits this morning on the gram. i am 110% in love with fall right now, but can't help but be excited about these swimsuits for next summer! they're adorable, modest, and cover up all things mom body ;) and even better, they have mini versions. having a daughter totally means matching outfits, right?
this article is great on what to do with a baby all day long. i love these days of cuddling and lounging but some of my most frustrating days have been at home. "it's time for your nap.... it's been 2 hours, you still need a nap..." vs. when we spend a day out running errands, even just walking around target, it helps my mood improve and helps me cherish our days at home more. i do look forward to evynn being little older so i can incorporate activities into our day. i have to tell myself, don't rush this season
these pumpkin marshmallow cookies look delish.
our 2nd anniversary is quickly approaching! time to plan the sappy stuff and watch our wedding video on repeat. mayyyyybe we can use this as an excuse to go on our first date in 2.5 months?!
and because no post is complete without pictures (and evynn is still nursing...) here's some fun over the last few days ;)
...someone found momma's hair... joy.
big smiles in target, like mother like daughter ;)
