Happy July!!

Hey everyone! 

Hope this post finds you doing well and staying cool in this coast-to-coast heatwave! 

Things are going well under the Evans' roof. Kylie is now 7 weeks old and just blossoming everyday with new developments. I cannot believe how much each day brings, such as her first smile, new sounds, rolling onto her belly, and longer nights of sleep. :) She has such a "chill" temperament about her, which Shane says she gets from me, and she is more attentive to this crazy world by the second. 

At three weeks, Kylie had her first out-of-town visitor... Grandma Carolyn!! She stayed with us for a week, which was a blast for all! Kylie got spoiled with love and gifts, and Shane and I got to share a night out to celebrate our 1st anniversary. 

None of us know what Dave is doing, nor does he! Haha! 

Then, here are some moments from 4 weeks.

Staring at her Daddy :)

One of my favorites!

At 5 weeks, we had to say goodbye to Daddy, but we welcomed her first smile :) :) :)

Bye, Daddy! See you in August!! 

Hi, Mommy! Look what I can do now!! :) 

Such a happy little girl! 

Enjoying our one-on-one time. 

Ooh, new toy that I can hold when Mommy puts it in my hands. 

Then came 6 weeks and these captured moments. 

You said time to eat??

Okay, I LOVE feeding time :)

Hi, there!

Now we're at 7 weeks!! Just this morning, Kylie finally conquered rolling completely over onto her tummy. She loves it! 

All tuckered out from rolling over again and again. 

A bit groggy from running errands, but just had to snap a few while the dress was still free from spit-up! 

Soo sweet!! 

We're really missing Shane, but Kylie and I are making the most of all these special moments together. To help Shane stay connected, though, and see the progress she is making on a daily basis, we decided that I would record a "moment of her life" everyday. I record a clip and then post it on Youtube for him  to view. From mid-feeding squeals to bath time to just hanging out on the couch smiling her cute fanny off, he's been able to see as much as he can from a distance. Also, we've done a few Skype dates so she can hear his voice and see his face. 

Next up, Kylie will have some more out-of-town visitors later this month. My Mom is coming next week, and then my Dad and Stepmom are flying out at the end of the month for a long weekend. Looking forward to the quality time with each of them, and the potential plans to visit Napa, Ikea, and some great local restaurants. 

Well that is all for now, especially as I am being summoned by Miss Kylie for an afternoon feeding. Sending much love and gratefulness to you all!
