9 months old

Since the last post, Evie has been doing one new thing after another. It's amazing how quickly she is learning new things. Evie has learned to:

~ crawl
~ clap
~ wave
~ sign "more" and "all done" (but won't do it all the time)
~ chew
(She has had blueberries, banana, green beans, peaches, cheerios, potato, carrots, toast, broccoli and avocado.)

She is now working on pulling up - time to lower the mattress! She smiles all the time and she says "dada" alot more than "mama". She has 6 teeth and loves to chew on everything. She especially likes Mommy's bracelets and necklaces.

At her 9 month check up last week, she measured a petite 16 lbs 12 oz and 27 1/2 inches. Her hair is growing some in the back, but not on top. My Mom can probably confirm this but I think I was bald until at least 12 months.

We are having a great time with our sweet Evie. She makes us smile. Thank you God.

After some jar food, she ate some green beans and toast.


Sorry the video is dark, forgot I only had the lamp on.

Evie's First Christmas

The holidays are over. I'm sad and glad at the same time. It was fun, chaotic, yummy, stressful, etc. We made a quick trip to Victoria for our traditional family Christmas. It is just so good to be at Maw-Maw's house with the family on Christmas Eve. Our immediate family had Christmas on Christmas Eve morning. It was fun to watch Evie and our nephew Austin get into it. Evie loved the paper!






Austin: What do you think of Christmas so far?
Evie: I wish they would stop flashing lights in my face.



Mommy loves that smile.

Kicking back with a good book.
