Eva at 3 months

It is hard to remember our family without little Eva.  Her precious smile brings so much joy into our lives.  She is a very friendly baby and smiles quickly for family and strangers.  Everyone in our family coaxes her to "Give me some Smileys" to which she readily complies.  She has also just learned to laugh and will giggle along with mom or when tickled under her chin.  Evangeline continues to be a snuggly baby and loves to be held, nursed, carried and rocked.  At night she sleeps in the crook of mom's arm, switching from side to side as she nurses.  Mom doesn't mind as she loves snuggling with her little "Sweetie Muffin" as well.  During the day Eva takes 3 pretty consistent naps:  a 20-30 minute morning nap in the swing while mom grabs a quick shower, an early afternoon nap usually in the front pack, and a longer later afternoon nap on mommy's bed.  Eva LOVES her bath now.  She wiggles and splashes her way off the tub cub so that mom keeps having to scoot her back up.  After her bath when she is all lotioned and smelling sweet, I love to give her kisses.  Another of Eva's favorite activities is her nightly rub down.  She kicks her legs, smiles, coos and talks to me while I massage her arms, legs and belly.  Eva is growing stronger and stronger and now can sit in her Bumbo chair for 20 minutes or so.  She is still a little wobbly so that by the end of that 20 minutes she is really starting to schlump in the chair.  Eva still loves to be carried in the front pack but now she likes to turn facing out when she is awake so that she can see everything.  But when she is sleepy she is content to turn around and snuggle into mom while being carried around.  Her hair is starting to fill in and now she has a little fuzzy blonde head.  Her eyes are still the brightest blue while her eye lashes are growing long but continue to be blonde as well.
