Dancing Evaleigh

Evaleigh was 8 weeks old on Friday. This past week she grew so much! She now smiles and coos. She is also bigger and more active and alert. And in this video she is moving so much! Joel was singing to her and she was going crazy! I took several videos but I had to post a shorter one. That same night, she slept for the longest stretch so far- 6 hours! I guess she was really worn out. She is growing so fast!

Dad and Holly's Visit

Last week we had a visit from my dad and Holly! Evaleigh enjoyed seeing her grandpa and grandma. We did a lot too! Evaleigh had her first trip to Atlanta to pick them up from the airport. We made breakfast and ate dinner at a friends' house and played the Wii. We took a hike to a waterfall and ate a birthday dinner for my dad at Okinawa hibachi. We went to church and walked around the square in Ellijay and looked at the booths and ate treats. We hung out at Whitepath Lodge where Dad and Holly were staying and had dinner and played 1,000. We went to Dahlonega and went gold panning. And we relaxed a little and had fun with Evaleigh.

Natural

Dangerous chemicals are everywhere! Even in our food and baby products. Here is a blog where you can download a recipe booklet for making natural household cleaners.

Here is a website where you can search cosmetic products and find out what's in them and how safe they are. Even baby products have dangerous chemicals in them! It's best to use products that have a 0 or 1 rating.

Cute Baby!

Here's a video of Evaleigh being a cute baby! She is about 1 month old!

Evaleigh is over 3 weeks old now! The days are going by fast! Joel went back to work and the past 2 days I have been doing laundry- washing, drying, folding, putting away, and cleaning a little. I also gave Evaleigh a bath today and baked cookies- from scratch! It's fun being a stay-at-home mom but I still feel like I am changing diapers and nursing all day. But it's fun!

Evaleigh

We are having fun with Evaleigh! She didn't sleep well last night.... but we are still enjoying her!


She puts her hands by her ears and sticks her legs up when she gets changed. That's how she keeps herself from crying.

Evaleigh Miriam Smith

Well, she's here! Evaleigh Miriam Smith was born on Friday, 09-04-09, at 5:38 am. She weighed 6 lbs. and 15 ozs., 18.5 inches long. The birth was all an answer to prayer- natural and fast! Her whole birth story is an answer to prayer....

My mom and sister are here for about a week and it's great to have them helping out! Evaleigh is a great baby, and she sleeps well, at least during the day...

Minutes after she was born.

Relaxing after her first bath.


I took more but haven't put them on the computer yet..
