Evelyn: 3 Months Old!!!


I CANNOT believe that Evie is already 3 months old.  As a friend reminded me...she is a QUARTER OF A YEAR OLD!!! CRAZY!!!

This past month I've noticed HUGE changes in her development and these have made her even more fun to play with! She's definitely way more interactive and responsive than ever before!!

She's still not napping much during the day but at least she's sleeping for 8 hours!!!

Evie at 3 months can...
~Smile, smile and SMILE!! Actually it's more like she can LAUGH now!!! 
~Hold her head up and look around when I put her on my shoulder
~Kick, kick and KICK!! She loves kicking!!!
~Make a VARIETY of noises...she LOVES to 'talk'!!
~Respond to my voice AND look for me when she hears it!
~Follow me with her eyes when someone else is holding her
~Sit upright on the couch beside me as long as she's in a nook
~Sit up and look around in the forward facing position when being held
~Notice toys and stare at them

YAY Headbands!!!!

SO I bought a bunch of new headbands for Evie on Etsy....naturally when they arrived there was only one thing to do...PHOTOSHOOT!!!
These headbands were bought from Cuteful Girl Bowtique!!
They're still a bit big as I bought a size bigger just incase she hit a
growth spurt before they arrived! 
These ones were bought from Winter Scarlett!!! These ones are even bigger
in size because I wanted to get ones that would fit later on as well!  You can tell they're bigger cuz
they look huge on her right now!!!
I'm definitely having a blast playing dress-up with my baby girl!! I'm already starting to plan her Christmas outfits for out family photoshoot in November!!!!

Happy 30th Birthday To My Hubby!!!

My hubby turns 30 years old today!!!!! And just like a Daddy, he didn't ask for gifts but rather got his little girl a new toy!! 
Evie in her dress and new toy!!
Even though it was Ed's big 30th birthday we kept it simple and had lunch with his parents (dim sum!) and a BBQ with my family for dinner (Ed cooked all the food hehehe).  He got a good share of Home Depot gift certificates and my sister got him a mango mousse cake!!!
Our little family!
I asked him later that night if he felt like he was missing out at all because he didn't get to party it up on his 30th birthday and he told me that it was fine because the last 3 birthdays (since we've been married) he's had he was in 1) Hawaii...for our honeymoon 2) Disneyland...for our 1st wedding anniversary trip and 3) Whistler...for our 2nd wedding anniversary trip.  And that he was actually glad to just have it low key and relaxing at home this year. <3

Guess it's ok then LOL We'll resume our annual trips next year WITH our baby girl!!

Our 3 Year Wedding Anniversary!!!

Today is our 3 year wedding anniversary!!!!! I CANNOT believe 
how fast 3 years have just flew by!!! I have the bestest hubby in the world
and my baby girl has the bestest Daddy in the world!

I'm one lucky girl!!

So obviously we have a 2 month old right now so we kept celebrations pretty 
low key.  Ed came home with 2 dozen beautiful red roses!!! My parents offered to babysit while we went out for dinner alone...which was AMAZING!! It was weird to just sit and eat 
and I actually called halfway through dinner to see how everything was because 
I was a little paranoid!!! I also had my first post-pregnancy alcoholic drink....Sangria....and 
rather than ordering a glass each we decided to get a whole pitcher hehehe. I 'pumped & dumped' that night since I have like 10 bags of milk frozen in the freezer so I was good! Oh and I'm
officially a Mommy because I forgot to get a photo of hubby and I together ON our anniversary....
Mommy Brain!!!!

Here are a few photos from the night...
My beautiful roses!!
Our pitcher of Sangria!
Yup...we drank from the pitcher LOL!!
Free celebratory desserts are the best!!!

Happy Canada Day!!!


Happy Birthday Canada!!!

We spent Evie's first Canada Day being very mellow! The weather wasn't so nice so we just stayed in.  Dinner at my parents' house and then watched the fireworks from their house (we got a view of it from there).  Check out her cute shirt from Old Navy! 

YAWN!! It's such hard work being cute all the time!!
At Grandma and Grandpa's...smiling for everyone!!
She LOVES being held by Grandpa!!

A little bit of tummy time later that night before bed!!
