1 month

I can't believe our little Evelyn is already 1 month.  Time has never moved faster.

Memories from our first month:
- The first night home with Evie she wouldn't stop crying and we just kept thinking she was hungry. After a sleepless night and overfeeding-induced vomiting we learned that maybe she was just having a rough night.
- She loves bath time.  She hated it the first time, but after investing in a floating turtle thermometer we learned that keeping the temperature hotter gave us a happy baby.
- Anytime you open Evie's diaper take cover.  She has no shame when it comes to exploding all over you.
- She loves her little lamb swing.
- We love her smile.  It is so big, bright, and perfect.
- We went out to dinner to celebrate our 3 year anniversary and all we talked about was Ev.
- I told Eric that I'm ready to have a baby bump again.
- I love watching Eric with Ev and he loves singing the Beatles to her.
- Breastfeeding didn't work out, so pumping and mixing with a small amount of formula is what works best for us.
- Evie loves her nuk.
- Dexter loves Ev even though he always wants her nuk.
- We feel like our home is shrinking and being here all the time has prompted immediate home improvements!
- The best night of the week is Thursday when Eric gets home.
- I'm still learning how to take care of both Evie and Dex. A full day of getting Dex out for walks  and not forgetting to take him out before bed is such an accomplishment.
- I can't wait to start running again.
- We order pictures on a weekly basis and finally have filled frames with many pics of Ev.
- We can't imagine life without our little girl.
