You are such a joy. I almost want to change your name to Evie Jean Joy, you are such a happy girl. You are always smiling. It's not very often you get upset. Even if you do, it's doesn't take long for you to be smiling at everyone again. One of my favorite things, is when I would nurse you at night and we would have a conversation of exchanging grunts and hums. Before I put you back in your bed, you would do the cutest sleepy stretch. Your signature "I'm ready to sleep" position is covering your eyes with your right arm while sucking your left thumb. As you have gotten bigger, your arm serves as a pillow as you grab your hand to hold it in place for optimal thumb sucking comfort.
You have started to play with your silly side a bit more. You'll notice when you get laughs for doing something, and do it again. Recently you have stood up unassisted for a solid 10 seconds. I have a feeling you may start walking with in the next month or so. Crawling is still a very efficient way of getting places, and you are quick. You have all your teeth you are supposed to have plus a new molar. I love when you wake up, because you are always so happy, which is nice because your siblings aren't always so pleasant in the mornings.
You are so sweet and love to give hugs and kisses. The kisses are luckily getting drier now. Before, you would lean in, and at the last second open your mouth and stick out your tongue for a very wet kiss. Your hugs are very deliberate and tight with purpose. Your sweet voice adds music to our home.
We love you dearly Evie Jean,
Mama and Dada
It made me so happy to read these two posts. You are such an incredible Mom who has a deep love for her children. It is beautiful and is visible in the way you write to your daughters.
