6 months old

Evie is a healthy, happy, smiley and "chatty" 6 month old. We are enjoying her so much. At her check up last week, she weighed exactly 14 lbs and is 25 3/4 inches. She is petite.

Evie has been scooting backwards, practicing sitting alone, and saying "da-da". She holds her own bottle, has moved to stage 2 foods, reaches for and grabs objects including Mommy's hair, sucks her thumb (usually when she is tired) and has 4 teeth.

I'm enjoying watching her explore the world around her. She has a lot of facial expressions and it makes me wonder what she is thinking.

Can you see her bottom teeth?

On Saturday morning, we met Uncle Shane, Aunt Whitney, and Austin at a local pumpkin farm. It was a beautiful day!

I fell asleep in the car.

This cracks me up. Evie spit up and Austin looks like he is grossed out!

Maybe Shane and Whitney got some better shots.

We're still alive! I know my postings have been few and far between. I will try to do better. I have lots of pics and some video from when Mat's family was here that I want to post. But for now, I thought I would post a recent clip and pics of Evie. She smiles and talks a lot. She is so much fun!



See how big she smiles when looking up at Daddy...
