My First Trip to CT!

Hi everyone! It's Evie! I'm gonna tell you all about my trip to Connect-i-cut.


Here I am all buckled into the plane! My daddy's first flight was at 21 years old and I flew at 16 weeks old. I'm pretty cool.


The flight was pretty boring, so I fell asleep 10 minutes after take-off and woke up with 10
minutes until landing. Mommy says I was such a good girl!


The Saturday after we got to Connect-i-cut, Gramma and Grampa had a big party for everyone to meet me. Here's a picture of me, Mommy, Gramma, and my Great Gramma Burns. Four generations of awesome ladies!


Then I took a picture with Mommy and Great Gramma Gudlewski. Sorry you can't see my face, but I was busy getting some beauty sleep, as if I need any!


I was a hot mess a lot of the trip at the beginning, but Gramma makes everything better.


Grampa says I look like I'm in Time Out. But I didn't do anything wrong! Maybe I was just being too darn cute.


Mommy's friend Hilary came over with her daughter Claire. Claire is 2 days older than me. Our mommies are very close friends and love that we'll grow up together. While everyone was eating deli sandwiches, Claire and I played with our toys.


Great Aunty Carol was awesome! Every time she held me, I was quiet and just rested. Mommy says she's the baby whisperer.


Aunty Leslie is Mommy's best friend. She's wicked awesome! (Mommy says that's what people in Mass-ah-choo-sits say.) She came over and snuggled with me and I let them eat dinner together.

Later that week, we went to Great Gramma Gudlewski's and Great Uncle Ricky's house for pizza. Great Uncle Ricky is my mommy's godfather and favorite tailgating buddy. He's going to teach me all about the New York Giants, New York Yankees, and how to bet on the ponies.


Great Gramma Gudlewski was finally brave enough to hold me. We were even wearing the same colored clothes! Polish girls have all the fun!


Yay! That's my Gramma and Grampa with me and Mommy!

Finally, we had to fly home because Mommy was missing Daddy and he was missing us. I'm such an expert flier now that I just played with my toy until I fell asleep on the plane.


Bye Connect-i-cut! See you again at Christmas!!


P.S. (It's Kristen typing. I wrestled the computer away from Evie.) Sorry for no photos of my sister Kerry with Evelyn. I have no idea how that oversight happened! Once she sends me some pics, I'll post them.

Ugh, I'm sorry for the 2 month delay in blogs! I've been in a funk for a while and I'm just starting to feel back to normal. Ready for some major updates?? Let's go!

<---- Evelyn at 3 months old

She had her first ear infection this month. Poor thing. She was tugging at her ear and pulling her hair, but never had a fever. On top of everything, she's now teething! Drool and pain. Oh, and please don't ask if we're giving her paragoric (sp?), dimetapp with codeine, whiskey, or rum. I wish we could, but it's infant tylenol, baby orajel, and frozen teethers.

Other big news? Evelyn and Mommy went to CT for 11 days! The first 8 days were rough, as Evie was very clingy and had a big case of separation anxiety. She was fantastic on the plane though. It was so great that she got to meet her Aunty Kerry, Great Gramma Burns, Great Gramma Gudlewski, and the rest of our extended family. The best news? Eric, Evie, and I are coming home for Christmas!! We're flying in Xmas Eve morning and leaving on the 28th. Santa's gonna have to find us in CT! Another post with lots of pictures to come tomorrow.

Evelyn at 4 months ---->

STATS:

Weight: 12 pounds (7th percentile)

Length: 24 inches (25th percentile)

So, she's a peanut! But the pediatrician is very happy with her development. Evie's growing cognitively in leaps and bounds!! She can now bring her pacifier to her mouth, play with toys, enjoys when Mommy reads her books, loves singing "The Wheels on the Bus" and "Old MacDonald", and she just started laughing. Best sound ever! Evie's also sitting with support now. Super baby!

Well, there's the quick update. Sorry for the HUGE delay! I promise (again) to try and keep up.
