Wow – I seriously can not believe that Evie is already a month old! June was a complete time warp. It seems like time goes by even faster now with two kids. I’m trying to really suck up every moment as much as possible.
I had a lot of help for the month with Matt’s parents here for a week, Matt home for a week, and my parents here for a week. My brother also came for a few days last week. I don’t know what I would have done without all that help. We also had lots of really nice friends bring us dinner which was very helpful.
Kaelyn seems to have transitioned to big-sisterhood really well. She had a few moments in the first couple of weeks, but those seem to have subsided and now all of her moments are just the normal two-year old tantrums. 
She continues to amaze me with her vocabulary and her mind everyday. She loves to sing now and will often just burst into singing the ABCs which she can sing entirely by herself. She mostly talks in complete sentences now and is surprisingly good at using pronouns which amazes me. In the car yesterday she said “Evie’s here, Daddy’s here, Mommy’s here – everybody’s here!”.
Kaelyn loves to help take care of baby Evie. She loves to hold her and shows her the toys and describes things for her. This morning us three girls were laying in bed together and Kaelyn was showing Evie the ceiling fan. It was definitely one of those moments that made my heart smile and I tried to take a mental picture to remember forever.
Evie is continuing to sleep well and grow! She is doing a great job of holding her head up already. If she isn’t sleeping or eating then she prefers to be held up on your shoulder so she can look out at everything with big, wide eyes. She has such a charming personality. I don’t know what it is exactly, but something about the way she cuddles up with you just makes it almost impossible for me to ever put her down. She has all of us wrapped around her finger already!
