my newborn is a baby now

Somewhere in between the craziness of the holidays Evelyn grew into a baby and no longer a tiny fragile newborn. Ok, well maybe she was never really that tiny or fragile at 8lb 12oz, but in my eyes she was just the tiniest peanut. She is so fun right now and loves to observe everything that is going on around her.  Her new thing is sleeping with a bunny blanket/stuffed animal. As soon as you give it to her she calms down and snuggles in for a nap. We constantly move it when she is asleep to not cover her face...10 minutes later there she is again with it pressed up against her cheek.

One of my goals for 2012 is to be a better blogger. I want to document Evelyn's life as much as possible because I don't want to forget one detail of it. My 2012 resolution is to create goals every month. I think a year-long resolution is too unrealistic and quite daunting. Things change and you need to adjust, so I created a year long monthly chart wherein I will list my goals for each month. This month my goals are to get my running legs back and gather all necessary supplies in order to make baby food for Ev.

I just wrapped up my online class and will begin my next class in 2 weeks. It feels great to be free for a bit and have some time to recharge!
