Everley's 1st Bath @ 3 wks. old

Everyone gathered round to watch Daddy give Everley her very first tub bath at 3 wks old, after her umbilical cord healed.

She didn't mind an audience one bit.

Notice her hair is already curling up !!!!

all cozy in her towel, still warm right out of the dryer.

And Daddy made Momma get out from behind the camera...

there is no better smell on earth than a baby right out of the bathtub!

Here's her after-bath chill face

She slept for a few hours after this!!! YAY!

Tiny Strawberry @ 2 wks old

I saw some ADORABLE strawberry outfits while I was pregnant, and asked Avery if we should get them for Everley or if she wanted to be our only strawberry. Avery was absolutely certain that she wanted Everley to be a strawberry girl too! SO sweet! As you can see, Everley was REALLY excited to wear this outfit. (Actually, it was the bow that really pushed her over the edge.) Thankfully she got used to it, because bows are an absolute must for our girls.

Notice the next picture of Everley...

Now, this is a picture of AVERY when she was 2 weeks old. They look EXACTLY alike !!!!

LOVE it.

Everley - 2 weeks old

I can't seem to take enough pictures of this tiny girl !!!

oh my goodness, that sweet belly!! She's a fantastic eater! The nurses in the hospital were so impressed with her immediate latching prowess. She eats about every hour and a half, and sleeps about every minute in between. She is almost constantly being held by one of us, but sleeps in her bassinet when we absolutely have to have our hands free.

And she's got Momma's long legs!

I spend ALL my time holding her, staring at her, and inhaling her. Daddy, Reilly & Avery can't get enough of her either! I hope all the camera flashes aren't damaging to her sweet little eyes!!

Our Girls' Room

Avery & Everley are sharing a room, and Avery couldn't be happier about that! Here are some pics...

Our First Days Home With Baby Everley

We are LOVING being home with our new baby girl !! I spend most of my time feeding her, staring at her, and practically INHALING her. She smells so sweet !

She is fine with being swaddled, just as long as her arms are free to flail. :)

Everley asleep in her bassinet (which all 3 of our babies have slept in!!)

She did try out her crib, she looks so tiny in it !

Baby's 1st sponge bath at home (Daddy always gives our babies their first baths!!)

she was NOT a fan. She also hates when we change her diaper, and use those cold wipes on her tiny hiney. :(

Avery is so excited to have her baby sister home with us!! (Bubba was still at Uncle Mike & Aunt Honey's house.)

here are my seriously swollen feet & ankles... OUCH! (until about 2 weeks post-partum)

Here is how we have found Reilly & Avery lately... constantly hovering.

Here she is checking out the swing that all 3 of our babies have used!

Nana came by for a visit...

And Mimi too...

some bedtime snuggles for our GIRLS !!! (plural)

sweet sugar

what a wonderful big sister

Big Brother wants to hold her every chance he gets! His nickname for her is, "Supreme Governor Cutie". Love that. (sounds very Star Wars, doesn't it?)

that's a very sleepy Daddy

He gave me a break one night & warmed up a couple of bottles of milk for her, so I could get some much needed sleep.

This is her hungry face...

I love a tiny baby in a onesie... look at those skinny legs & tiny feet !!!

We've gone for a few car rides too, it makes her sleep so good!

And a little floor time...

We put her on our bed, which she loved!

Here's her 1 eyebrow look, which she gives us a lot!

We are enjoying her & having SO much fun, and look forward to every cute little thing she'll do next !!!
