Sylvia has recently been described as "the poet." She is thoughtful and deliberate, you can just tell. She has been demonstrating this quality lately by pulling her pacifier out of her mouth and then trying very hard and carefully to reinsert it. She also takes great care in grabbing for toys. She will often be quiet for a long time and then will go into a long diatribe of baby talk, which we can hear from the basement to the third floor. She has the cutest open-mouth smile (Mommy calls it the "clown smile"). She is so happy almost all the time, when she cries you think something must be terribly wrong (but then you remember, babies just cry sometimes). 
We start bedtime around 6:30pm and the girls are usually in dreamland no later than 7:30pm -- that's after baths, feeding, burping, shhhh-ing, and swaddling. Most mornings we have to wake them up. I wanted to film them waking up, but to our surprise they were lying quietly asleep in their cribs waiting for us. They are adorable in the morning.
Evelyn has a cute little laugh that starts out sounding like a little coughing noise. She's so cute.
My itty bitty Evelyn is just that, itty bitty. She has definitely packed on some chub over the last week or so, but is so light and easy to carry! Evelyn is so smiley, all you have to do is look her way, sing a note to a silly song or touch her and she will smile soooo big! She has the biggest blue eyes that melt my heart when she is fussy. And, boy, she is fussy when she is tired! She fights sleep and takes some time getting down for naps, but the last few days have been pretty easy. Evelyn is also a huge talker. She does a lot of "ooohhhs" and a funny cough sound that we're sure is her laugh. She kicks her feet all the time, at her toys, on her kick and play, and in your arms. We are so lucky to have a happy, healthy baby. We love her so much.
