42 days old!

I had high ambitions for posting regularly prior to and after Evelyn's birth. We are now >6 weeks past her birthday and I am finally going to ATTEMPT a post. No promises :) In an effort to make this effective, I'm going to keep my post short and sweet!

Evelyn turned six weeks old last week. Here is a summary of our little girl...

Nicknames:
- Evy (cousins, parents)
- Evelyn Schmevelyn (Grandad)
- Squeaker/squawker (Grandpa and Mamaw)
- Evryn (Auntie Audrey)
- Milky (Mom and Dad)

Recent accomplishments:
- Sleeping in at least one 4-5 hour stretch at night
- Keeps on a pair of socks (her feet are now fat enough!)
- Startled by poop and arm movements, but not by noise
- Drinks 3-4 ounces of formula every 2-4 hours
- Holds head up by herself for 2-3 minutes at a time
- Continues to wiggle her toes while eating/sleeping

Other important facts:
- Recently helped Hancock cousins move into Grandad and Nana's house
- Loves to take baths (but not to get dry afterwards), sleeps on drives and walks
- Goes from 0 to 10 on the panic scale in about 1 second when she decides she is hungry or gets startled
- Starting to get a brown flick in her otherwise deep blue eyes - developing in the right upper corner of her right eye
- Still has small tufts of hair on the corner of her ears and in the crack above her bum
- Wears camo or leopard prints most days (unless they're dirty!)
- Still not a big fan of being put into a carrier but will tolerate it if she is swaddled
