Evie started walking (on her own) one week before turning 15 months old. She's been able to walk while holding our hand but was very cautious about doing it on her own. Now, she tries to walk as much as possible...unless she's in a hurry and will crawl. I love the way she waddles!

She is learning to use crayons on paper - thank goodness for washable crayons! She still loves to go outside but during the week we don't go out until just before bedtime because it's so hot. She likes to walk around in the grass and swing.

She is a great eater...eats whatever we eat. She usually isn't picky. She is still a great sleeper, too. At school she has 1 nap a day but at home she will still take 2 naps and sleeps 11 hours at night.

At school this month, Evie is learning about animals. She had a head start on this thanks to her love of books, the Fisher Price Noah's Ark and her farm puzzle. She is also learning to recognize family members. We were asked to provide some family photos that the teachers have put on posterboard. Vocabulary words they are focusing on are aunts, uncles, sisters and brothers.

Evie recognizes and can say several body parts: eyes, nose, ears, toes. She also has a good sized vocabulary. Bye bye, Duck, cat, shoes, socks, hat, bath, car, bus, truck, hot, wall, done, and poop are some of the words we can think of. Also...

Ma = Mom
Da = Dad
Nan = Nanny
Pop = Poppy
Daw = dog
Mo = more
Side = outside
Pup = cup

We took a few pictures over July 4th weekend but just haven't been good about taking pictures since. But here are some shots of Evie with Daddy. She is a big fan!



Evie is a joy to be around. She smiles all the time and makes us laugh. What a blessing she is! We love you very much sweet girl.
