Happy Birthday Tyler

On February 16th, Tyler turned the big 28! We tried to spoil him as much as we could on his special day!

 I made Tyler breakfast before he went to work...

 And Makayla wore  a special shirt for Dad... it says "Daddy Adores Me"

 When Tyler got home from work we had dinner. We had manacotti, salad, bread, and cookies. Then Tyler got to open his presents. I mostly gave him workout stuff

 And Makayla gave daddy a card and a picture frame for his office

 As you can see all the excitement from Dad's birthday wore Makayla right out!

Hope you had a great birthday Tyler! Thanks for being the best husband and dad. We love you!

Be Mine

We had a fun Valentine's day this year. We celebrated the whole weekend and into Monday. On Saturday Tyler made us dinner since we couldn't go out to eat with little Miss Makayla. He is quite the chef! He made steak, shrimp, and salad. Yummy!!

 Don't let this cute little face fool you... just as we were sitting down to eat, Makayla decided to scream the entire meal. We spent the rest of the meal scarfing our food so that one of us could hold her.

 After dinner (and the screaming episode) Tyler and I settled down to watch a movie. Sadly I couldn't tell you what the movie was about or even what it was called because I was asleep about 15 minutes into it.

Monday (Valentien's Day) we had Makayla's 2 week check up. She is doing great. She now weighs 9 pounds and is 21 inches long. Her weight is in the 68% and her length is in the 72%.

When we got home from the doctor, we had an easy dinner of Papa Murphey's Pizza and opened presents. Makayla got spoiled with gifts from her grandparents

 Tyler got a CD

 And I got a cute necklace with a little ring that has Makayla's birthstone!

 We watched another movie that night... and luckily I was able to stay awake through the whole thing this time... but even more exciting was that Makayla didn't scream and went to bed early that night! Best Valentine's gift from her.

Lastly... I just have to share this cute picture. Tyler is the cutest dad to Makayla. He read her a story the other night before bed... too cute!

Happy Valentine's Day!!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Love,

Makayla

Makayla's First Week Home

It has been an eventful week at the Evans' house with a new baby. Makayla is a really good baby (of course I have nothing to compare her to, but I think she is really good natured). We're trying to figure out what she likes and get her on somewhat of a schedule. The first few days at home were a little tough for me. Makayla had to be under the lights because she was jaundice. We couldn't hold her unless we were feeding her. All I wanted to do was hold her. Luckily we only had to do the lights for two days. She did get to sport some pretty cool glasses though! 

 Makayla didn't seem to mind the lights too much which made it a whole lot easier on me. She would just stretch out and sleep the whole time.

 After two days we got the okay to take her out of the lights. Since then we have been having fun with the everyday things. This is Makayla's first bath at home, which she really liked.

 I really like to play dress up with Makayla. Here's a few of her cute outfits...

 It's obvious that her mom is a teacher... we are trying to teach Makayla to raise her hand when she has a question. :)

 And this is by far my favorite picture. She fell asleep in dad's arms and had her little hand around his finger. Such a daddy's girl!
