The left pic is Evelyn at 3 days, the right is Emilie at 5 days.
Emilie still continues to amaze us. Her head an neck control is very good especially for a premie. She'll actually hold her own head up when you're trying to burb her and look around.
During her first well baby check the doctor mentioned we'd probably only have 10-15 minutes of alert awake time with her because she's a tiny premie and would tire easily. Um, wrong. Emilie is commonly awake for periods up to 45-50 mins.
Evelyn continues to like to help us out, by overseeing Emilie's diaper changes, fetching her bottle or bink for us, etc.
During Jens incarceration Evelyn got to have several of her aunties come and spend some time with her (babysitting so daddy could get some work done). She got to go on walks, bike rides, visits to the park/playground. All around fun time, eh?, dunno why mommy didn't think it was so great a time.
Evelyn is finally starting to come out of her shell more and more. While she still is/can be incredibly shy (even around people she knows!!!) she's starting to engage in converstation with different people. The nurses all seem to love her, as she'd walk up to them and start a conversation.
And, thanks to Auntie Heather we have a foram infestation!!! I seem to be the one most affected by this, as Evelyn continually is able to pull forams out of my hair (of all places). For those of you who don't know, a foram is a microscopic oceanic lifeform.
