Just call me Captain

Just call me Captain Eva Marie

Eva started eating solid foods about a month ago (yes - mom has been a bad blogger as of late). She really has taken to rice ceral and vegatables well. As of now, no fruit for her.

Look at me! All done with my ceral.

She is growing like a weed. Such a big girl now. Eva now sits up completely by herself. She started this about a month ago for a few seconds. Now she can sit up for minutes. Mom and dad are so proud of our little girl.

We've spent several weekends up at the family cabin. Eva loves being out by the water. Grandmpa & Grandma Reisinger bought the family a new toy last weekend. Eva was excited because she got to drive the new pontoon! Look out Cross Lake Pribyls - here come the sea legs!

She went in the lake for the very first time last weekend. All was well until she started to eat sand. Even better - the sand spit-up that came later.

Here Eva is in her cute two-piece suit (thanks to Auntie Jane).

I love putting things in my mouth

Fun little toes go in Eva's mouth. This is now her favorite activity best done in her birthday suit or with a diaper on. Eva is mesmerized by her feet. It is so fun to watch her gain more control over her hands.

Once propped up, Eva is able to sit for a few seconds. So fun! She doesn't even get that mad when she falls over after. It is such a blessing to watch her grow every day. We even started to feed her rice cereal.

Eva's Baptism & 4-Month Checkup

Eva had her baptism on Sunday. She was welcomed into the Christian family by her godmother, Cassandra, and her godfather, Jeremy. She was well behaved when Father pour water over her head. It was a simple Catholic ceremony performed by the priest who married Jamie and I. She wore a baptism gown that was worn by one of Cassy's twin daughters. It was a special day!

Eva also had her 4-month checkup today. She got her second round of shots, which she did very well during. Only cried for a little bit. She is progressing well and hitting all the key milestones.

Vitals:

Height - 25 inches (91 percentile)

Weight - 15 lbs, 13 ounces (88 percentile)

Eva's 4 months old!

Wow how time flies. Our little girl is already four months old. Eva celebrated her 1st Independance day. She was all decked out in red, white and blue.

Happy 4th of July!

Eva is talking all the time. She has also discovered that she can make noises with her lips. It is super funny to her. She laughs at herself when she does it. Also somewhat new is she is really good at rolling over from her back to her tummy.

Eva's feet provide her a constant source of fasicanation. She even has started sucking her toes. Too funny. Speaking of sucking, there is no more thumb sucking. She now sucks her index and middle finger together at the same time.

I leave tonight for Toronto. This is my first trip out of town since she's been born. Jamie will definitely have his hands full. Let's hope it all goes well.

Looks who's talking

Fun development, Eva is now really trying hard to talk. If you are playing with her and look away, she'll start "talking" to try and get your attention. It is really fun to see. Also, I love to her her giggle. It is more of a chuckle but you can't help but smile when she laughs.

This week she has been rolling over again from her tummy to her back. This morning while Jamie and I were getting ready for work, she rolled over from her back to tummy. She is getting stronger every day. At school they had her sitting up and she sat up by herself for a whole couple of seconds. That's my girl!

We're getting her pictures taken this weekend, so check the blog again for those!

Updates

Happy belated Father's Day to all the dads out there reading this. Eva and her daddy celebrated their first Father's Day up at the cabin. It was an ok weekend weather wise, but they had fun.

Last week Eva had her first ear infection. She has been kinda off since it happened. Not as smiley and fun, but still our precious little girl. When she was at the doctor's last week she got weighed again a rang it at 14 pounds, 1 ounce. This girl is definitely steadily gaining some weight.

One of Jamie's favorite things to do it to tickle Eva's thighs. She thinks this is the funniest thing in the world and giggles for us. Nothing is as precious as her little laugh.

Eva's Three Month Old

Eva turned three months old yesterday! How fast they grow up. To celebrate we went to Mike T's birthday party at Poncho Villa for tacos. Eva was so well behaved at the restaurant. She loved looking around at the lights, ceiling fans and the TVs.

Giggles are now much more frequent and she love to laugh with her dad. Jamie tickles her tummy and she thinks it is super funny.

Eva "graduated" to her crib on Monday night. She was busting at the seams in the bassinet. It is now super fun to see where she will wake up at in the morning since she scoots so much with her feet. Eva is a very mobile little girl!

This picture is a couple weeks old, but she looks so darn cute!
