4 Months!

Stats:
Height: 25 1/2 inches
Weight: 12 lbs 4 oz
Likes: Blowing Rasberries with her lips, rolling over the moment we put her on her back, looking at herself in the mirror, watching people eat, and tylenol :)
Dislikes: When her bottle is empty, how when eating rice cereal you have to stop and swallow in between bites, being held while sitting down
Wears: Size 1 diapers, size 3-6 month clothes, and some 0-3 month as well. 
 Things I love: When she gets excited she squeezes her eyes shut, makes her hands into little fists and squeals the cutest little high pitched squeal. I hope she doesn't lose this trick for a very long time!

 One of my favorite pictures. She is so happy with Daddy ALL the time!
Loves water!
Give me a minute...
 Okay I'm ready!

We got more shots at our doctors appt this week which is always super fun! Evalyn was a champ though and hardly cried after it was all over with. She is sleeping 8-9 hours at a time, waking up to eat, and going back to sleep for another 2-3 hours. Not too shabby! We are so excited to spend the holidays with this little cutie. Hope everyone has a great holiday break!

This month in pictures

Ev and I went on a run for the first time in her Chariot. I can't think of a better name for this stroller. She sits in it like a queen does riding her massive chariot! We love it--thanks Grandma Jaylene!
I got to see Breaking Dawn in Oceanside with my awesome SIL's :) It was cheesy but good like usual.
 Ev was a cowgirl on Halloween :)
 Daniel got his boards score! Phew! Ortho school is still in our future plans :)
 Evalyn was happy one night after a bath..yes, her eyes are massive and I love them!
 I found a way to allow myself ten minutes to get ready in the morning. Don't worry, that mullet has since been removed.
Ev wore these fancy leggings from Auntie Alexa! We just had to safety pin the waist and they were great! Did I mention they are size 6-12 months?

Hope everyone had a good month of November. Next post--Thanksgiving update!

1st Pinterest Attempt

Like most of not all of you bloggers--I spend way too much time on Pinterest. (Don't deny it..you do too). I'm constantly finding things that I need to bake, want to recreate, or I get just lost in the daydream of a home I want to own someday. Well, I saw a little piece of jewelry that I thought was unique/weird/kinda cute.

Heres a picture of the original:


It's a bracelet made from a fork! Cute, yes? Well, I thought I would recreate it. When my dear husband came home he found a "bracelet" on the couch that looked something like this:


(Not quite what I was going for)

Let's just say that its a lot harder to bend metal than I thought it would be. I swear I have bent forks more than this on accident during dinner. Needless to say, Daniel got home and asked what had happened to our fork. When I showed him the picture of what I was attempting to make, he said "Oh. I can do that. That's easy". HA!

30 minutes and a pair of pliers later, he tells me he is done and hands me my "gift".


Hilarious. We both couldn't stop laughing for a good ten minutes. Thanks for the attempt love, I think I'll save that bracelet for a special occasion...it's just too nice to wear everyday ;)

Least I can say I actually tried something I found on Pinterest, right?
