Hawaii, Outside the Womb
We successfully took our first family vacation to Kauai. Ever was still a little fetus last time we visited Hawaii so needless to say this trip was quite different and a whole lot more work. I don't know why someone so little requires so much stuff!
We got rained on in Kauai... A lot. We also all got sick, resulting in a family trip to urgent care. Our rental car broke down.
Despite feeling a tad unlucky we still had a great time. We did a whole lot of relaxing (our king-sized bed made co-sleeping so much more pleasant!) which is what the trip was all about!
Ever accomplished a lot of 'firsts' in Kauai, such as:
First plane ride (she did great!)
First trip to the beach (Her opinion? The water was too loud, a little chilly and the sand on her feet made her mad)
First cold and doctor's visit :(
First boat trip (up the Wailua River to the Fern Grotto)
First real food she ate as opposed to sucking on (frozen banana!)
First helicopter ride (a tour of the island where we saw the "Jurassic Park waterfall". She fell asleep after 10 mins)
First realization that she has a foot and it can reach her mouth!
And, contrary to what these pictures show, Everleigh did not have her first cup of coffee...
5 Month Birthday and a Picnic
Upon returning from her first vacation Everleigh promptly turned 5 months old!
She is now weighing in at 13lbs 9oz.
To celebrate we took a little stroll in the Red Rocks area before settling down for a picnic.

The Great Cloth Diaper Change
This past weekend Everleigh took part in The Great Cloth Diaper Change 2011 hosted by Eco-POLITAN.
The event celebrated Earth Day and raised awareness for cloth diapering. It also set the Guinness World Record for most cloth diapers changed simultaneously, and we have the certificate to prove we were a part of it!!
We didn't get many pictures because she was busy getting her butt changed, of course!
Here she is in her carrier waiting to get checked in. Note the red nose-it was surprisingly chilly!
Here she is, post-change in her red Rumparooz diaper.
Here's an article about the event from the Denver Post. We're in the bottom right picture, though we are very small (back, middle-ish)...

Visiting Sena
Last week Everleigh had her 3 month appointment with our midwife Sena.
Stats:
Weight: 12 lbs
Length: 24 1/4 in
Head: 16 1/8 in
She loved seeing Sena, she must remember her from back in the day. You know, way back in the day, on the day she was born.

Family Pictures
If you didn't get to see our family pictures, check out the photographers' blog where they posted a small selection of the pictures:
We love how they turned out!
Over the Past Few Weeks...
Ever...
Started holding up her head when she lays on her tummy
Giggled! (Though she still saves them for extra funny moments)
Helped us through the car-buying process (We're real parents now we have an SUV!)
Experienced her first natural disaster when the earthquake and tsunami hit Japan
Went to a restaurant for the first time (Hapa-good choice!)
Acquired some Aden and Anais blankets that we use to swaddle her up tight
Visited her daddy at work
Received a big box of goodies from her friends Ms Susan and little Piper, including these:

10 Weeks
Tomorrow, Ever has been here for 11 whole weeks!
Stats: at 10 weeks she weighed 10lb 10.5oz
She's starting to show us her developing personality and we love it! She's so much fun.
What's new?
She licks or sucks her arms/hands/fingers
She's trying really hard to giggle
She thinks the moment when the water is poured on her tummy during bath time is sooooo funny!
She has varying degrees of smiles: the corner of the mouth twitch, the half-smile, the closed mouth smile, the open mouth, the huge look-at-all-my-gums smile that she uses accordingly depending on how funny she thinks something is...
She pouts, smiles, frowns-all in a row like she's practicing her faces
She wiggles around at night and pushes one parent as close to the edge of the bed as possible
She fake cries when she's bored
She fake cries when she's bored
She talks. A lot. Conversations are now two-sided
She makes all her tights and socks bobbly from kicking her legs back and forth (like a ballet dancer) no matter what position she's in
She has eyelashes! (she had just a few when she was born)
She likes to hang out with us in her baby carrier
All this growing is hard work...

She's a Pro
Here are some pictures from the shoot we did with Newell Jones and Jones a few weeks ago.
Shyla was quite concerned about the people waving scary objects in our faces...
In other news... Look who held her head up for the first time on her two month birthday!
