Oh Miss Everly! You are 5 months old.

You are probably the most smiley baby I have ever seen. You have this big mouth and when you smile it is probably the most precious thing ever!

You are obsessed with Ashlyn. You start kicking your legs, smiling and making noises whenever you see her. You also love your brother but you definitely favor Ashlyn. You are a Mama's girl but give Daddy huge smiles.

You have gotten a lot better with being fussy and miserable when you eat. We had to change your formula again and you are now on Nutramigen. You are quite the expensive girl but whatever makes you happy and not miserable is what we will do!

You still don't sleep through the night, you are up 3 times but we lowered the ounces for each bottle so I am hoping we can slowly knock those bottles out. You were down to two but you went back up so we never know if we can officially cut any out. You had your first night in your crib and did really well. I think we can get rid of your Rock N' Play!

At your 4 month appointment you were 13.4 lbs and 25 inches. You wear 3-6 and 6 months clothes and are in size 2 diapers. You drink 4-5 ounce bottles about every 3 hours. You are close to sitting up and I swear you did two little scoots towards me in an army crawl but it didn't happen again so we will just wait on that milestone! You love to play in your jumperoo which is nice since you aren't the biggest fan of the bouncer. Your personality is very interesting. You are super sweet and smiley but then get pissed out of nowhere. Once you are done, you are done! You are very sensitive which is very similar to how I was as a baby (what my mom always told me) and I can see how you are a lot like me. It's funny how personalities are so obvious so young. I can see it with each of you and you definitely give us a run for our money! We love you and can't wait to see what next month brings!!

Miss Everly,

You are now one month old! It has been quite a month for you. You have had your tongue tie snipped, formula switched 4 times due to stomach issues, much like your brother, and your belly button has had to have silver nitrate put on it to help it heal. You also are a super fussy girl because of the stomach issues.

You are still getting breast milk but since I don't make enough you usually nurse through out the day and then get bottles to make up for the rest. You are a good sleeper at night. You wake up usually around 3 or 4 AM and then around 6:30 and will sometimes just sleep till 9 or so. Much like your sister. You sleep randomly throughout the day.

You hate being put down. You like being held pretty much all day. Your brother was the exact same way. Ashlyn was so easy going that if I had to put her down she was cool with it but she was held a lot too but it didn't seem as demanding as it did with you and Ace.

You are starting to smile but they aren't social smiles yet. It seems like you are more smiling at things so it will be cool when you smile for us.

You drink about 3ozs every 3 hours. Wearing newborn to 0-3 month clothes. We are bumping you up to size 1 diapers since you are starting to grow out of newborns. You also have horrible poop diapers so we are hoping the new formula will help with that.

We all call you Gertie or Gert. This is so random but I was showing a group of my girl friends a picture of you when you were a newborn and I was joking how you looked like a Southern old lady because of your big lips and squinty eyes. One of them jokingly said we shall call you Gertrude and now it has become your nickname. I give you this pretty name and you now have a weird nickname haha. Your Dad has even said we could change your name since we rarely use Everly. No way!

It has been a crazy month getting adjusted to having 3 little ones but we feel so incredibly lucky to have each of you in our lives. We can't wait to see your personality and how unique you are. We love you little angel!!
