Introducing Evan Erik

 Evan Erik was born January 16, 2021 around 6 PM. He was 9 lbs 4 oz and healthy! He is already 8 weeks old! Here is a photo dump of him over the last 8 weeks. In true Archibald fashion we moved 3 weeks after he was born. He likes having more space, though!





Coming home from the hospital was a little overwhelming but also beautiful. It was the first time we were all together!







Evan had lots of pictures welcoming him home. He is loved by all of his siblings! Kent, in particular, is very fond of Evan. Kent was hysterical when I took Evan to his first doctor's appointment. He also loves to rub Evan's head and say "hair".

Remembering his hospital times...


"Is that me?! Was I really that small and NAKED?!





Evan is a sweet guy. I think I finally know that you can't spoil a newborn. Evan has had the privilege of being rocked to sleep every single sleep cycle. But he is also learning to stay asleep, which is nice. We are getting decent stretches of sleep each night. Somehow it feels like sleep is all that matters at this point! 

Evan smiles a lot! Likes to eat and be held. He loves his paci, he's fond of swaddling. At 6 weeks he graduated to the arms up swaddle. He smells like a sweet baby. I love feeling the weight of his relaxed, sleeping body against mine. I love to rub his cheek against mine.
