Life is Good!

Evie slept so great last night! I'm loving life today! She slept from 9pm until 2am then from 2:30am to 7am then I popped the bink in her mouth and she slept clear till 10am! I was so proud of her! I was amazed! I woke up at 1:30am and woke Braden up and said "AHH she's still sleeping - you think she's alive over there?" We couldn't hardly believe it! YOU GO EVIE - GOOD JOB GIRL! When we got out of bed at 10am she was like a little ball of joy! She was cracking me right up. She was smiling so much that she acted like she wanted to bust out laughing. It was so funny! So we had to do this little photo shoot! She is so cute! And she's getting so big! Almost 2 months old - time flies!

HE? is so cute!

Sometimes I read way to into things. And this is one of those things . . . I know. But still! I was at the rec. center the other night for a family Christmas party that my grandma does every year. Evie was dressed in her Santa dress and looked seriously ADORABLE! The little Santa hat (that even had a flower on it) that went with the dress wasn't the most comfortable thing in the world so I took it off her towards the end of the night. After the party we got Evie all loaded up in the car seat - snug as a bug! We were heading out the door and I ran into a lady from our ward. She hadn't seen Evie and apparently didn't know we'd even had her yet. So she took a peak and says, "HE is so cute!". Not even kidding my heart broke right at that very moment! I was so distraught that I didn't even tell her SHE'S A GIRL! Honestly I didn't really know what to say - I just said "it was good to see you" and walked out the door. When Braden and I got to the car I kept asking him "she doesn't look like a boy, does she?" - Braden says "Whitney you can't even tell with babies this small" - OH YES YOU CAN i'm thinking. My baby girl is too beautiful to be a baby boy! Anyways now I feel VERY dumb that I didn't tell the lady that she's a girl and my plan is to dress her in the CUTEST DRESS and BOW and SHOES when we finally go back to church. Poor lady is going to feel so bad! HAHA that is evil . . . isn't it? And I'm over the whole thing now so don't anyone worry :) Honestly does this picture look like a boy to you? Hmmm wow this is a hard one . . . .

Ugh!

Oh boy! What a morning we had today! I laugh every time I think about it. Evie woke up this morning and cried and cried . . . and cried! I couldn't do anything to calm her down so I decided to put her in the tub with me. If all else fails she always calms down in the tub! So I filled up the tub then we got in. We were only in for like 2 minutes then she starts grunting . . . and pooped . . . a lot! So I am frantically trying to drain the bath, and clean her off, and clean me off. YUCK! I wrapped her up and cleaned the tub and I was going to shower off before we got back in the tub again. Except I'd forgotten that I'd had the washing machine and dishwasher going all morning and I'd just drained a tub full of hot water. So no more hot water in the Robinson home and I felt disgusting! Took a cold shower then had to wrap Evie up and wait for the water to get hot again! CRAZY! I was all flustered at the time but now I can't quit laughing about it! Thanks Evie :)

I miss you sleep!

Evie slept really well the past few nights! I was getting so excited! We would even sneak upstairs when she fell asleep and get in bed with Braden. Yes, we haven't been sharing a bed lately because Evie is a fuss muffin! It's ok though . . . we somehow both survive the night and are able to function the next day - barely! The thing that cracks me up lately is as soon as I'm up and wanting to do something productive, that's when Eve falls asleep! So at that point I don't want to go get in bed - I want to clean my house! So it's partly my fault for not sleeping when I have the opportunity I guess. I hate sleeping during the day because I feel lazy and ugly (ugly because I don't get ready when i'm being lazy)! And when you are being lazy and ugly, that's usually when someone comes over to your house! HAHA at least that is my experience. When I'm thinking to myself, "Gosh, I would die if anyone saw me or my house like this." I can pretty much guarantee that is exactly whats going to happen! And all this due to lack of sleep? Wow! I never realized what a precious thing sleep is! Evie is actually catching up on her Zzz's as I'm typing this - how ironic :) Hahaha Gotta love this girl! In all reality I don't know what I did without her - I feel like she is a part of me now. She is pretty amazing! Here is a tribute to Sleeping Beauty (during the day)!

Our first family blog!

I actually started a blog when Braden and I were first married. I've since forgotten the e-mail address, password and everything else I used to create it! Oops! I decided to start another one and maybe I'll be better this time! Evie keeps me up a good portion of the night so I spend a lot of time on FB and reading other peoples blogs! Gotta love this parenting thing, especially at 3:00am! I never expected it to be this hard! Fun and rewarding but HARD! Evie is so dang cute and lovable that it's all worth it though! My cousin Shelli Greene took Evie's first pictures for us and I am in love! Here are a few . . .
