One crazy weekend & what we learned from it

Whew! I am actually happy to see Monday morning come! I believe I discovered something about our baby girl over the weekend. She likes being at home in her familiar surroundings. We had many meals out with my parents and one in Hallsport over the course of Saturday and Sunday, by Sunday afternoon she was so cranky there didn't seem to be anything we could do to make her happy. Our theory is that she was held and passed around so much, had too many naps interrupted, and was just generally exhausted that we wore the poor babe out. Once we got home changed her clothes and diaper, fed her and got her cozy, she went to sleep for 2 hours. She would have kept on sleeping but I wanted her to sleep that night plus I needed to feed her.
So in the future if we are invited to something and say we can't come or that we need to leave early, please don't take it personally. Odds are we are simply trying to keep Eva from getting worn out.
It was nice seeing everyone over the weekend, we just didn't know how Eva would handle it. She's doing better now, slept for 4 hours straight last night and is much happier this morning. =D

Video of Eva

We decided to put a video up for friends and family that can't be here physically to see Eva, and since not all of you use Facebook I've added it here as well. Enjoy!

professional photos

About a week after she was born, we had a photographer come and take pictures of us with Miss Eva. Here is the link to the photographer's blog where she has posted some of the shots she took. I love her work and hope you enjoy it too!

Really wish I knew what she is thinking here

Almost a smile!

New pics

Can't believe how fast she is growing! Yesterday she started standing for a few seconds here and there. Now we're waiting for her to start smiling at us rather than just at random moments.

In case you hadn't noticed she will look anywhere but AT the camera!

Bigger every day

Here she is at (almost) three weeks. Hard to believe that much time has gone by! She is definitely getting bigger, she has already grown out of some of her newborn sleepers!
