Up and Down

We never knew that such a small child could have such an opinion on where she was. This is just a small example of the many times a day that we go up and down. She's so opinionated.

Mommy Kisses

Evelyn has become so active to the point where its hard to just hold her on your lap. She goes in circles in our arms all day long. This was one of the rare moments when she held still but I got spit up my nose and a few scratches on my face and camera for it.

We love you Sihaya.

Killer peanuts

The other day, I was sitting on the couch with The Sihaya eating my favorite binge food... peanut butter on a spoon. I had just cleaned all the peanut butter off the spoon with my mouth, when the baby grabbed the spoon from my hands, and with great temerity popped the thing right into her mouth. I thought that with no peanut butter left on the spoon, Evelyn would have no problem, and hopefully be entertained for a few precious moments. As those moments passed, my husband informed us we needed to go to the store. We removed the spoon, and as we placed her into the car seat, we noticed that the area around her mouth had broken out into splotches of red, with tiny little bumps. Apparently the baby is allergic to trace amounts of peanut butter. The rash abated as quickly as it had come. We decided to keep the peanut butter on the top shelf from now on, and is not to be trusted.

Here are just a few pictures of our little Sihaya. Although, she's not so little any more.

Mike and His Hair

Mike woke up one morning and for some reason his hair was so greesy that in the middle of the night it had formed into these little horns. I just gave them a little help and twisted them together.

We went over to a friends house to play games one night and Eli found this wig in a basket. Mike thought he might look good in it. I think he does.

Morning Routine

Every morning this is what I get to walk in on. Evelyn lets us know when she's awake and then its all smiles till she decides that she's hungry.

I had a cold on the day that I took this video by the way. That night I was talking to Mike about something and our next door neighbor walked in. He couldn't see me and when he heard me talking he asked Mike what guy he was talking to. I leaned around my husband and when Rico saw me he jumped realizing that I was the one with deep, manly voice. "Dude, you sound like a man," were his exact words.

Needless to say, Mike called me Steve the rest of the night.

Tummy Time Two

So Evelyn is now 4 months old and growing like a weed. She is the love of our lives. Mike and I are understanding why parents worry about loving their other children just because they love the one so much.

Evelyn is loving tummy time now. She holds herself up for as long as she can and then her face plops to the blanket. Here are some pictures of my little bright eyes.
