Eve is One Year Old!


Weight & Height: Eve weighs 19 lbs 13 oz (51st percentile) and is 27.75" long (8th percentile)... hey, she get's it from her momma ;-)

Clothes & Diapers: She is wearing size 3 diapers and mostly 12 month outfits with a few exceptions.

Eating & Sleeping:   She eats whatever we eat for breakfast, lunch, and dinner and transitioned to cows milk about 2 weeks ago. Let's just say I was not sad to move on from pumping! Ha!  She drinks a cup of milk for breakfast and one before bed... the rest of the day she drinks water and rarely juice (only if she's having trouble pooping!)  She sleeps from 7:30 pm to 7 am when we wake her, and takes a morning and afternoon nap - about 1.5-2 hours each.

Mood:  Happy, curious, sweet, and active!  Her little personality is so sweet... and mischievous!

Likes: Mommy, Daddy, Ava Kate... balls, Ava Kate's toys, play food, real food, getting tickled, music, dancing, the pool, being outside... she loves life.  She's a happy girl!

Dislikes: If you take her food away. HA!

Milestones: She is a girl of few words... one word really, just "dada" but she points to whatever she wants, eats anything and everything, she blows kisses, signs thank you, waves hello and goodbye, feeds herself, chowed down on her bday cake, turns pages in a book, flips the light switch, walks if you hold her hands, dances to music, brushes her hair, loves floating and swimming

Sentimental Things Mommy Wants to Remember: I love watching Ava Kate and Eve interact.  Eve loves watching AK and they are starting to "play" together by rolling balls, or building (or tearing down) towers of blocks, play cooking... it's so sweet.

Practical Things Mommy Wants to Remember: I've never  been so happy to pack up my pump and wash bottles as I was 2 weeks ago after pumping for the last time this go round... I was soooo over it.  Please dear Lord, let my next child nurse from the tap and gain weight appropriately.  Please, please, please.  Making it to a year of pumping and bottle feeding after the STRUGGLE of the first two months weight gaining + me being diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis in the final 3 months = my proudest accomplishment... potty training at the same time is a close second.  Shew.

Eve is Eleven Months Old!


Weight: 20 lbs on our scale at home -- which is about half a lb bigger than Ava Kate was at this age.

Clothes & Diapers: Size 3 diapers and 12 month outfits for the most part.

Eating & Sleeping:   Morning nap (about 8:30) and afternoon nap (about 12:30) for about 1.5-2 hours, bed time at 7:30 pm.  Eats meals with us, drinks three 6 oz bottles of milk a day (morning, lunch, and before dinner).

Mood:  Curious and giggly! :) I think she'll be a (sweet) force to be reckoned with!  She is LOUD. Haha!

Likes: Being in the water (pool or bath), exploring and moving around, playing with her toy kitchen stuff, being tickled, "reading books," dancing, giving kisses, eating

Dislikes: When there isn't more food on her plate immediately. -_-

Milestones: She blows kisses, waves, turns lights off, walks if you hold her hands, pulls up by herself if she holds your hands (still can't quite do it on the furniture yet), dances to music (it's precious), shakes her head no, understands what "no" means, and had her first cake and ice cream (& hotdog thanks to Grandmommy and Granddaddy, lol), oh and she got her first leg poppin' because she bit the mess out of my arm... and she has 8 teeth now!

Sentimental Things Mommy Wants to Remember: I love snuggling her, I feel like the baby stage has gone by so fast and I feel like I have missed it. :(  How will she already be one in a month!?!?! Ahhhh.

Practical Things Mommy Wants to Remember: Her first bottle is breastmilk and her second two are half breastmilk and half formula... I gave up stressing over it and it is what it is.  SO ready to be done with pumping.  I so enjoyed it with Ava Kate... but it has been a struggle and CHORE with Eve.  I can honestly say I have done EVERYTHING I could (including going through a flex sigmoidoscopy with no anesthesia) to breast feed this child.

She looks like a different child in these pics -- think it's the hair being pulled back in the 10 month photo.

Lawdy, Ava Kate was pale haha!  They look nothing alike in these two pics, but there are moments that Eve looks a lot like AK... BUT, she mostly looks just like her daddy. :)

Eve is Ten Months Old!


Weight & Height: Close to 19 lbs according to our scale, and about 28" according to Ava Kate's measurements the other day (haha!)

Clothes & Diapers: Eve wears size 3 diapers and 6-12 month clothes, although more 12 mth as some of her 6 mth are too small for sure!

Eating & Sleeping:  We dropped the 4th feeding of the day, so she has 6-7 oz of breastmilk at 7, 11, and 4.... and usually at the 4 pm feeding I have to top it off with some formula to get it to 6 oz.  She doesn't seem to even notice she's not having the 9 pm feeding, so we let her sleep.  She eats food like a champ -- can out eat Ava Kate some nights.  She'll eat everything on her tray/plate and let you know loud and clear she wants some more.  We are working on signing "more"... otherwise it's a loud, high-pitch scream to let you know.  A happy squeal... but loud.  She does it with a smile on her face. :)

Mood: She's super happy, rarely fussy, and very flexible with whatever is going on!

Likes: Mommy and Ava Kate... even though AK can be a bit suffocating to Eve, she doesn't seem to mind.  She loves Daddy, playing in the water, BATHTIME, being outside, watching people, playing with Ava Kate's legos and blocks, rolling and crawling around the floor

Dislikes: Not much I can think of...

Milestones: She's got 4 top teeth, 2 bottom teeth, and another bottom tooth peeking through, she stands pretty well with assistance, but isn't really interested in pulling up herself, she finally moves from laying to sitting with ease (she could sit by herself for months, but was never interested in sitting up from laying down until recently), she feeds herself, says dada on occasion... and squeals all the time. :)  She's played at the beach with Granddaddy Mark, the river, and the pool.  We celebrated Father's Day yesterday!

Sentimental Things Mommy Wants to Remember: Eve likes to snuggle for a second and then she's a busy bee.  I love it when she lays her head down on my chest, even if it's just for a split minute!  She smiles and thinks it's soooo funny when you give her a "mean" look.

She's grown in the last month for sure!

I think she caught back up (and maybe passed) her sister in size at 10 months!  She's got more hair than Ava Kate did too!

Everything is going in her mouth... everything.  And she doesn't like to lay still for pictures! :)

Eve's Nine Months Old!


Weight & Height: 18 lbs 3 oz at her appointment, & 26 in long (although I question the accuracy of the height... weight is 50th percentile, and height was 4th... lol)

Clothes & Diapers: Eve is wearing size 3 diapers and 6 month to 12 month clothes...

Eating & Sleeping:   Same nursing schedule as before - she eats about 5.5-6 oz at 7, 11, 4, and 9.  I still nurse her for the first feeding, then pump and bottle feed the rest (boo).  No more purees (she didn't ever get the hang of them, so I just stopped trying... more hassle anyway!) but she's really picked up finger foods now.  She eats whatever we eat, and her favorites are pasta, green beans, crackers, cheese, and fruit.  For naps, she takes a morning and afternoon nap for about 1.5-2 hours each, and she sleeps until her last feeding and then through the night until about 7ish.

Mood:  She's can be a firecracker (or as loud as one), but she is a happy firecracker!  She loves playing with Ava Kate... and she still has stranger-danger randomly.

Likes: Mommy!  And she loves her sister, daddy, playing with toys, her paci, being tickled, snuggling a blanket, playing with Ava Kate, playing in the pool, swinging outside.

Dislikes: Hmm... can't think of anything.

Milestones: army crawling, first Mother's Day, first time in the pool, two top teeth FINALLY came in

Sentimental Things Mommy Wants to Remember: Even though she only nurses first thing in the morning, I'll take it.  She's definitely becoming more "independent" by rolling and crawling around to get what she wants... that has given me more to keep up with for sure! Ha!

Eve's Eight Months Old!


Weight: not exactly sure, but about 17 lbs?

Clothes & Diapers: Eve is wearing size 2 diapers (but could easily wear size 3, we just have 2 packs of size 2 left that I want to use before going to size 3), and anywhere from 3-12 month clothes (haha, quite the range, I know... but it's been super warm this spring, so her 3 month clothes are cool, and her 12 month clothes are cool... so we mix it up!  The 3 month outfits are just about too short for her, but the 12 months are pretty roomy.  6 months fit best, but the 6 month hand-me-downs are winter clothes... ahhh #SecondChildProbs)

Eating & Sleeping:   She eats about 5.5-6 oz at 7, 11, 4, and 9.  I still nurse her for the first feeding, then pump and bottle feed the rest (boo).  She has been sloooowww to pick up purees, so I just started giving her finger foods to entertain her while we ate.  She ate an entire half of a piece of toast this past Saturday for breakfast... with her two little teeth.  Haha!  For pureed food, she has had cereal, peaches (her fav!), green beans, squash, apple sauce, bananas, sweet potatoes, carrots, and pees.  She likes the peaches, and that's about all.  She also has had yogurt (which she gobbles down).  For finger foods, she has had a lot... pasta, mac & cheese, a little bit of pork chops, toast, strawberries, potatoes, green beans, crackers, puffs, bananas, corn, grits, bread, and probably a handful of other stuff that I can't recall right now.  :)  It sounds like a lot, but she mostly tastes the food and spits it out.  She's been actually eating a bit better in the past week or so.  She takes a morning nap and an afternoon nap for about 1.5-2 hours each, and she usually takes a evening nap after dinner and before bed.  We wake her up to put her PJs on and feed her and then she sleeps from 9ish-7ish.

Mood:  She is super sweet, and becoming more social.  She has been babbling more and giggling... and she loves when her sister plays with her.  She had stranger-danger fright for a little bit, but she seems to be getting over that now!

Likes: Mommy!  And she loves her sister, daddy, peaches, being tickled, snuggling a blanket, playing with Ava Kate, swinging outside, riding in the Tula, and reading books.

Dislikes: Getting her face cleaned

Milestones: Started drinking water from a sippy cup, first time sitting in the shopping cart & restaurant high chair, she's inching forward (not a crawl, but a pull with her arms and push with her toes kinda thing), she waves (but not consistently), she's thinking about clapping, first finger foods, first round of pink eye (& second, ugh), learning what "no" means, first time at the river, first time with her toes in the blow-up pool, and she's no longer the "Baby Cousin" because Judah was born last Thursday - the 13th! :)

Sentimental Things Mommy Wants to Remember: I love watching Eve and Ava Kate play together while I'm doing something (pumping, cooking, etc)... I know they'll be the best of friends and it's so sweet to see their little relationship developing.

Practical Things Mommy Wants to Remember: If one child gets the pink eye, EVERYONE in the family starts drops... otherwise we just pass it around for a few weeks... even if the doctor won't give the other kid drops... just use the eye drops for both kids!  Sanitizing the house 45 times in 2 weeks blows.  Also, potty training takes FOREVER and it'll be my biggest accomplishment when AK has no more accidents... that and breast feeding despite all the hurdles with Eve.  Shew.
Not a lot of change in appearance this month! :)
Comparison between Ava Kate & Eve at 8 months.  One is chunkier than the other, lol!

Eve's Seven Months Old!


Weight & Height: Close to 17 lbs

Clothes & Diapers: Eve is wearing size 2 diapers and a very few 3-6 month outfits, mostly 6 months... and even some 9 month if it's warm.

Eating & Sleeping:   Still working on baby food... she's a great taster, not a great eater lol.  She hasn't really hated anything yet except squash.  She's had bananas, carrots, sweet potatoes, cereal, green beans (pureed and mashed), peas, spaghetti noodles, squash, apple sauce... I think that's about all.  She eats 6 oz 4 times a day (7, 11, 4, 9) and goes down for the night and sleeps all night.  Sometimes she wakes up about 6:30, but just lays in her crib "talking" to herself... or if we go give her the paci and a blanket to snuggle, she'll fall back asleep.

Mood:  Still so sweet and relatively quiet. :)  Of course her big sis doesn't giver her a chance to talk, so there's that... lol.  She has rounds of fussiness, but so mild in the scheme of things.  She is also a wiggly worm and very curious.

Likes: Bottles, a rainbow hedgehog Santa brought her, her Turtle Turtle (also from Santa), her sister, her Mommy & Daddy, snuggling, baths... and she giggles just a little when she's tickled but she loves being tickled.  She likes jumping in her jumperoo and napping in her swing and rolling around on the floor when her sister's not tackling her. Haha!

Dislikes: Still weary of "strangers" and by strangers, I mean anyone that's not mommy/daddy/Ava Kate.  She does fine if I'm not around (like in the church nursery), but if she can see me and someone else is holding her... she tends to protest.  Still totally normal.  She also does not like squash.  Can't say I blame her ;-)

Milestones: Eating baby food, 2 teeth, starting to sit up better, first trip to Myrtle Beach w/ Mommy & Daddy at the FCA conference, first time with her toes in the sand.


I can see a bit of similarities between sisters at this age in those precious little smiles and blue eyes. :)

Big sis wants to be a photographer ;-)

See?  I can sit up!

Photo Cred: Ava Kate :)

Eve's Six Months Old!


Weight: ALMOST 16 lbs.  It was a slower growth month, but she's still gaining!

Clothes & Diapers: Eve is wearing size 2 diapers still and some 3-6 month clothes and some 6 month clothes... just depends on the weather.  If it's cold, she wears AKs 6 month hand-me-downs, if it's warm (which it has been), she wears 3-6 month hand-me-downs.  Poor girl won't have very many of her "own" clothes at this age when her sister's bday month is just 1 month off.  I have officially packed up the newborn clothes though lol.  It was time. :(

Eating & Sleeping: Eve is still a great sleeper, praise the Lord!  She had one rough night this month, but the next morning she had a tooth that had broken through.  I was shocked that she had a tooth already!  She is now eating 6 oz at 7 am, 11 am, 4 pm, and 9 pm, and we introduced solids.  Still at the "food is for fun" phase, so nothing real consistent.  She's had bananas and sweet potatoes.

Mood:  Still a sweet baby girl!

Likes: Eve likes to roll around in the floor and jump in her jumperoo thing.  She likes being talked to and singing songs.  She likes reading books with Mommy & Ava Kate and adores her sister.

Dislikes: She's starting to not love people she's not around a lot... she gets anxious and wants mommy back.  Totally normal, I know.

Milestones: first teeth! (I was shocked that they broke through already!)

Sentimental Things Mommy Wants to Remember: Everything!  Snuggles, kisses, giggles, precious outfits, smiles, shrills, and coos.

Practical Things Mommy Wants to Remember: I'm still pumping all day except the morning feed... I get just enough for the next bottle, no extra. :(

Y'ALL.  Those LEGS! #ThunderThighs #PearShaped loool

Not seeing a lot of similarities this month between sisters

Eve's Five Months Old!


Weight & Height: 15 lbs 8 oz...about what Ava Kate was at this age!  Hooray!  Not sure for height.

Clothes & Diapers:  We've transitioned to size 2 diapers and she's in 3-6 month clothes mostly.

Eating & Sleeping: Eve is still on the 5 oz bottles every 4 hours and eats at 7, 11, 3, 7, and 10 and continues to sleep through the night.  I'm still only nursing for the first feeding and pumping/bottle feeding the rest.  We will be moving to 4 feedings a day soon!  I think she's ready... it'll be so much nicer hopefully because I won't have to pump as often.

Mood: Sweet.  Eve is very flexible with our scheduling and tags along for everything.  She's very sweet and rarely get's fussy.  She's usually quiet, just taking in her surroundings, but if she does get upset... boy she is loud!

Likes: Getting tickled, having anyone talk to her, playing in the floor, baths, chewing on things

Dislikes: Hmm... can't think of anything.   She is finally starting to enjoy bath time!  Hooray!

Milestones:  First Christmas, first "big" snow/ice storm (Jan 7)

Sentimental Things Mommy Wants to Remember: aww... All of it.  I just want to soak it all up.

Look at those chunky legs!! Haha! :) 

Ava Kate vs. Eve at 5 months... AK's head is rounder, but otherwise, they look about the same size.

Eve's Four Months Old!


I can't believe we're already a third of the way through her first year!  Time slow down!  I just adore this sweet little one!

Weight & Height: 13 lbs 14 oz and 24" long.... 49 percentile for weight, which is AWESOME considering she was at the 17th at 2 months.  Praise! :)

Clothes & Diapers:  She's still wearing size 1 diapers, although she technically could wear size 2.  We have one more case of size 1s that I'd like to get some use out of before opening our size 2s.  She wears 3-6 month, or even 6-9 month outfits.  She's so long that many of her 3-6 month footed PJs are too little, so that's interesting considering our weight gain struggles!  I need to pack away her NB stuff still, but the holidays have put a hold on that. :)  Plus, I just hate packing away those sweet little outfits.

Eating & Sleeping: Eve is still on the 5 oz bottles every 4 hours and eats at 7, 11, 3, 7, and 10 and sleeps until about 6:45 most mornings.  I'm still only nursing for the first feeding and pumping/bottle feeding the rest.  I will say that every now and then I'll nurse her in the evenings if we're going to be out and about because it's just SO much more convenient.  I still despise pumping and washing bottles... but I love seeing her grow!

Mood:  Precious.  She is just so precious and sweet.  She's started smiling and giggling more, and when she gets really excited she "talks" or babbles.  If she isn't happy though, the whole neighborhood knows because the girl is LOUD.  Holy smokes.

Likes: Watching Ava Kate play, singing songs, rolling around on the floor, standing/sitting up like a big girl, reading books with mommy & Ava Kate, snuggling, eating, snuggling her blanket against her cheek, her paci (oh, how I wish she'd suck her thumb!)

Dislikes: Sweet girl is still not a fan of baths, BUT she is getting better about them.  She'll only scream at the beginning for just a minute.... then she's just on edge the whole time, haha.  She also hates when she rolls onto her tummy and can't roll back over if she gets stuck.

Milestones:  First Thanksgiving, first visit with Santa Clause (Dec. 3), First long, hard laughing session (Dec 16), rolls over quite well now, sitting up with help/holding her head up on her own with much more consistency

Sentimental Things Mommy Wants to Remember: I love her sweet little snuggles or when she falls asleep in my arms, her sweet little smile and big blue eyes, how her and Ava Kate look and giggle at each other

Eve's Weight Gain Journey: If I eat another lactation cookie I will throw it up.  They are good... in moderation.  But ugh.  I've just been taking Fenugreek and that's giving me enough milk for each day... but still not enough to freeze and I've had to dip into the tiny stash I had from early on a few times on Sundays this month because of crazy schedules and just being able to pump enough in between events (church, family reunions, Christmas celebrations, etc.)  So please pray that I can get my supply up enough to at least freeze a little every few days!

Ava Kate at 4 months vs. Eve at 4 months
Eve is definitely longer, but both have chunky legs!  Ava Kate's face was a little rounder, too. :)

Eve's Three Months Old!

Look at those chunky legs!  Finally getting some rolls! :)

Weight & Height: 12 lbs 1 oz & not sure for height... But she's growing!  In just 2 weeks she's gone from the 17th percentile to the 26th percentile in weight... and 43rd in height/weight combined.  Woohoo! :)  Yippee!!  Happy dance!!!  Praise hands!!!!

Clothes & Diapers:  We're still wearing the size 1 diapers and she wears 3-6 month clothes, although she can still fit in 0-3 months.  Most of her long sleeve clothes are 3-6 or 6-9 month, so she hasn't worn a lot of 0-3 months since it's been cool lately.  She has officially outgrown her Newborn PJs and I've packed away some of the NB clothes that it won't be warm enough for.  I could probably pack up all the NB clothes, but I just hate packing away my favorites.

Eating & Sleeping: We JUST transitioned to 5 oz bottles every 4 hours.  She eats at 7, 11, 3, 7, and 10, and sleeps until about 6:15 most mornings.  Because of the transfer issue with breastfeeding, I usually only nurse for the first morning feeding and sometimes the 7 pm feeding... it breaks my heart, but I love knowing she's thriving and growing... even if it's a lot more work to pump and bottle feed.

Mood:  She's so sweet y'all.  She's developing a smiley little personality and remains pretty content and flexible with everything we do!  If she wants some attention she'll let you know and boy does she have a loud holler.  She is very patient and understanding though!  Haha!

Likes: Snuggling, eating, blankets, her tiger toy on her bouncy seat, looking at her reflection in the mirror of her swing, her mommy!!, looking around, the giraffe on her jungle gym, "talking" with mommy & Ava Kate

Dislikes: The girl hates taking a bath.  Screams bloody murder every time.  She also doesn't love being held like a baby unless she just ate... otherwise she wants to sit up like a big girl and look around. :)

Milestones:  Sleeps through the night (1st 8 hour stretch Nov 1), 2 month old shots (Oct 21), rolls over from back to front (Nov 7 in her crib!), rolls from front to back (Nov 9), cooing and talking, recognition of familiar faces, first Halloween

Sentimental Things Mommy Wants to Remember: Sweet baby snuggles in the rare moments of quiet, those big blue eyes full of wonder, how Ava Kate wants to hold her all the time, precious moments watching Parker snuggle her up

Eve's Weight Gain Journey: As of Nov 23, she has graduated from regular weight checks!  Praise the Lord!  I'm so glad she's growing as expected now!  We have finally fallen into a routine and things are settling down!  It hasn't been easy at all and my supply took a huge hit when she was just nursing and only transferring 1.5 oz... I've had to eat a ton of lactation cookies and take Fenugreek to get it back going and even still, I can just stay ahead of her with bottles.  I end up with maybe an extra oz each day, but haven't been able to produce enough to stock up on a freezer stash, which worries me a little because I had to dip into it a bit as we were moving to exclusively(ish) pumping.  Thank God for an oversupply in the beginning!  Eeek!

Ava Kate (about 13.5 lbs) vs. Eve at 3 months (about 12 lbs)

1, 2, 3... watch me grow! :)  I can really tell in her face that she's gaining weight... it's harder to tell in other places.

Eve's Two Months Old!



Weight & Height: 10 lbs even and ??? long!

Clothes & Diapers:  Eve can still rock the NB diapers (I am shocked), but wears size 1.  She is wearing NB & 0-3 month clothes... but some of the 0-3 months are a little big on her.  I actually need to go get her some long sleeve outfits, because almost all of Ava Kate's long sleeve clothes are 6 months... and those would just swallow Eve right now.

Eating & Sleeping: She eats every 3 hours and sleeps for about 4-5 hours at night.  Her current schedule is 7 am, 10, 1, 4, 7, 11 pm, then bed.  She wakes around 3:30/4:00, but we're working to break her from that now.  She nurses on both sides for 20 minutes and she takes between 4 & 4.5 oz in a bottle.  See more about feeding below... it's been a journey.

Mood:  Pretty content and very flexible with our busy life, thank goodness!  She can get fussy in the evenings sometimes, but generally, she's great.

Likes: Snuggling, Ava Kate, Mommy... she likes being outside, being worn in the Tula, & playing in the jungle gym.

Dislikes: Baths. lol

Milestones:  Tongue tie clip (Sept 28), first stay with a friend (Carries on Oct 6)

Sentimental Things Mommy Wants to Remember: I love the way Ava Kate wants to hold Eve and how Eve looks at AK with wonder.  :)

Eve's Weight Gain Journey: Eve was not gaining weight like she was supposed to and we went to the ENT because she had a small tongue tie.  We had that clipped (which was way traumatic!), but there still wasn't any significant improvement in how much milk she transferred while nursing.  Now, with the guidance of lactation specialist, the ENT, and her pediatrician, we have developed a crazy routine of feeding.  At first I was nursing for 15 minutes on each side, then bottle feeding her another 2 oz, and then pumping.  It was taking an hour and a half to complete the process... and she was eating every 3 hours.  I was losing my mind.  Crazy stressed, couldn't get anything done, Ava Kate was going bonkers during that hour and half every 3 hours.... it was not good.  I was very low.  I was tired, stressed, frustrated, disappointed, sad, depressed... not a good time.  After lots of trial and error,  prayers, and help, we've finally established a routine.  I nurse her first thing in the morning at 7 am (20 mins on both sides, she seems satisfied when finished), then for the rest of the day while Parker's at work (her 10, 1, & 4 o'clock feedings) I pump and bottle feed her around 4.25 oz.  Then, when he's home, I nurse her for 20 mins on both sides and he bottle feeds the other 2 oz while I pump.  I'm still frustrated (after all, one of the reasons I was excited about staying home with the girls was that I wouldn't have to pump and wash bottles) and pumping is not as convenient as nursing when out in public... but it is what it is.  My sweet little girl is FINALLY gaining weight and that's what matters.  It makes me so sad that she wasn't gaining weight -- she seemed perfectly content!  I look at the pictures and can tell, but in the middle of it all, I couldn't tell that she wasn't getting enough until we weighed her.

One month vs Two month comparison
Ava Kate vs. Eve at two months... Wow.  What a difference. 
And, just for fun:
This is what happens when your big sis takes your sticker so she can take a picture too... sigh. lol
