Baptism

Eva Grace was baptized last Saturday evening. We were so blessed to have family with us to celebrate this special occasion. We were also fortunate to have some of Calvin's family from Wisconsin who were here on vacation join in the beautiful day.

It was a really nice ceremony and Eva did not even cry when the water was poured over her head. Actually, her pacifier fell in the bowl of holy water and the priest said she now had a "blessed binky." :)

You can just see Eva's head and fingers here.

She was simply beautiful!

A Little Touch of Sunshine

Thought we could use a bit of sunshine on this cool (57 degrees as I type this at 4:00 in the afternoon at the end of JULY!!), dreary, rainy day (ok, really, it's been most of the week). This is a couple of days after Eva's six month check up where she weighed in at 13 pounds, 4 ounces and measured 25.5 inches. Will post pictures soon of Eva's BIG DAY, last Saturday!

Six Months!

Changes

From one night...

To the next...

Yep, Miss Eva moved from the bassinet to her big girl crib on Wednesday night. She was just getting too big to be comfortable in the bassinet, and now she's got plenty of room in her crib. We think she's adjusted easier than we have. Even though she's just across the hall, we still have the monitor on in our room.

We just continue to be amazed at the changes we see in Eva every day.

4th of July -- belated

Since last time we posted, Miss Eva has been quite busy. She celebrated her first 4th of July at Nana and Gramps'. It was her first overnight trip and first long-ish car trip. She did really well and by the second night, Miss Eva slept from about 10:00 until 5:30!! Due to a rain delay, the fireworks were quite late but they obviously didn't seem to bother Eva one bit.
