Out with the Old

This weekend, with Evan being sick the the stomach flu, we still had a very busy weekend. We traveled to Kalamazoo to see Damon's sister play basketball, had a great time at a friend's sons B-day skating party, and then shopping! I got a ton of summer things for Evan from Old Navy. They were already 50% off, then I received another 50% off of the orange tag price. I got stuff for $1.50-$2.00.

Bringing all that new stuff home made me feel like I needed to do a bit of purging, so I cleaned out Evan's closet and drawers and came up with a lot of clothing that's way too small for her, took pics of the items and posted them for sale on Craigslist.




It's a little sad going through all the clothes and trying to sell them to someone else, but I know that I'll never have anymore children and all of the clothes are like brand new. I could bear to get rid of her coming home outfit though.

Pony Tails

Look at Evan! Only 5 months old and already has enough hair for pony tails. By the time she's about 7-8 months she's going to need them all the time (not just for blog pics).

Evan is also learning to hold her bottle, making kissing noises, and taking off her socks.


Tonight we decided to try jar food with her...organic peas and she loved it.

Sick Visit

Try to ignore the smiling baby in the pics...Evan is indeed sick. She got a cold from big brother DJ and now she's coughing and snotting up a storm. Normally, I wouldn't worry about a silly little cold, but upper respiratory infections are going around and those can be super bad for babies. So, I took a half day today and took Evan to the doctor. For the most part she's fine, no breathing treatments necessary, just a ordinary cold.

The doctor gave us a script for infant cough medicine, a trial size of saline nose spray, told us to keep the house humidity at 45% (how in the world am I supposed to measure house humidity????) and she should get better within a week.
