RSV household

We'd appreciate your prayers for little Evie. And actually Savannah as well. Savannah has/had RSV--a virus that for kids over 2 and adults is just a yucky cold, but can be quite serious in little babies. Savannah we think is on the mend finally--and hopefully getting over her ear infections at the same time.

Evelyn went to the Dr. today b/c her coughing has become nasty, and the Dr. thinks she has a mild case of RSV as well. However the good news is that I'm still nursing and that is the best medicine for her at this point since they don't medicate babies at her young age yet. Dr. seems to think she will get over it just fine on her own without having to have breathing treatments or steroids, etc.

Brian got the cold, I have somehow managed to avoid it--Zicam!!

The pic of Savannah is after some delicious spaghetti and trying to make her model a hairband... ha.. didn't work...

Evelyn at 4 months

Evelyn had her four month appointment and is doing great! Here are her stats:

13 lbs 8 oz (45%)
23 inches (10%)

She had her shots and was really great for the whole ordeal. Partly because her big sister Savannah was helping to distract her. Savannah on the other hand is not 100. She has ear infections again and we are putting her on another allergy medicine, this time a prescription one to see if it will help clear up her constant coughing and runny nose.

Put these pictures to show how big Evelyn is getting, but still a tiny little peanut who we love very much. :)

Just some pictures

Not too much going on with us the last few weeks. Both girls are growing--Evie probably more so, but Savannah has been learning new words every day. Her favorite saying is probably still, "Daddy come home!" However we have been working hard to get her to say "hello" to people who say it to her. Its a battle that we WILL win and she said it back to Mr. Walton today in church--yay for the small victories! So if you are around her and say hello to her, expect us to make her say it back to you no matter how long it takes. :) Evelyn goes in for her 4 month check up on Tuesday, we weighed her on our scale and are guessing she weighs about 13 lbs or so, so definately putting on some pounds--excited to see the official stats, not so excited about the shots.

Winter colds and sisterly love

Here are a bunch of pictures from the last few weeks. We have had 2 sick little girls thus the lapse in pictures for awhile. Hopefully we are starting to be on the mend but its been pretty pathetic with ever flowing running noses and coughing and of course lack of sleep. :)

However, in the midst of the sickness, there has been some pretty cute interaction between the two girls and Savannah really really wants to play with her "Evie" and tries so hard to involve her in whatever game she is playing, especially when it comes to cleaning and taking care of her other "babies".
