Silly videos

Here are some videos of noises Evelyn has been making the past couple days. The last two videos are from this morning.

Funny Cry

Running

Tiny's funny noises

Yeah... I'm kind of a nerd about YouTube.

With so many people around, Evelyn's been getting overexcited and she's so tired she won't let herself fall asleep. We discovered that the noise of running the bathtub calms her right down, so along that train of thought, we looked up white noise for babies. I found this thing of beauty. I push play and Evelyn stops crying instantly. After about 15 minutes she's sound asleep. The video is ultra-creepy, so it gets covered up. So far it has worked quite nicely when she's just too tired to sleep. Does this sort of thing work for your baby, too?

My little baby is a month old today. After looking through all of our pictures and videos, I'm amazed to see how much she's changed in so little time! Hopefully she'll wake up soon so I can give her a bath and take a million pictures of a clean smelling beauty in newborn clothes! Those won't be fitting her for very much longer. Oh, she's awake!

Smiles and Frowns

Evelyn loves to smile when she first wakes up, and she usually adds in a few frowns. She's got a Shelley smile and she's workin' on a Grandpa Clarke frown. She's got Mark's sneezes complete with the "AHHHH!! choo."

 Evelyn was born April 24, 2012 at 2:15am. She weighed 6 pounds 13 ounces.

 She was a little jaundiced, so we had to worry about that for a few days. She's not yellow now, though!

 She only likes to be swaddled when she is sleepy. So I bundle her up and she goes right to sleep. When she's awake, she'd much rather be laying flat on the floor.

 She's so content. I thought that I'd carry her around in my Moby wrap that I got from Dirt Cheap without really knowing what it was, except that it was a smokin' deal. I may have wasted a few bucks though, because she hated it! So I just spread a blanket on the floor and she was perfectly happy while I did a few things around the house.

She also doesn't mind sitting in her car seat.

 As long as there are plenty of lights to look at.

 First day, in the hospital.

 Cuddling with a happy daddy on the couch after church.

 Cuddling with grandma one last time before she left for the airport.

 Happy during her first bath.

 My favorite picture. Her favorite time to smile is morning.

Checkin' out the mirror after her first bath. Her belly is getting rounder and rounder!

We think she's the cutest thing that's ever happened.
