Dear Jared,

Today Evie was playing on the floor, I looked over at her and saw this.

 

 I then said "Hey, Evie what are you doing? You are way to small and young to be doing that".  To which she turns around and gives me this.

Yes, a big ol' smile.

Evie crawling

So, the new trick is this. It is kind of nice knowing that when she wants to be held she will just scoot over to me. Although she also has already figured out several drawers and her bookshelf. 

I guess it is time to baby proof the place

Cuteness, Pumpkins, and Teeth

 So, I know I should update more often and do individual post instead of long ones with no theme, oh well.  Here is daddy and Evie chilln' on the couch.

Showing off her awesome sitting skills

She is really catching on to the eating thing and likes everything so far but yams.

Taking the favorite napping spot.

Carving pumpkins, yes we forgot to take pictures of the end results, 

you'll just have to trust me, they were cool.

No, the picture isn't sideways, she does this head tilt thing, it is way cute

(I was trying to get her to open her mouth).

Here she is showing off her chompers.  Please keep fingers away, they are sharp. 

Happy Halloween

Here is our little Aggie cheerleader.

Thank you aunt H. for taking pictures, thank you aunt L. for the cute bow that I requested that matches perfectly, thank you E (practically an aunt) for the cute outfit, and always thank you handsome husband for everything else.

(no she doesn't have dirt on her face it is an A)

September 23

So here is what we have been up to. 

               

          First of all, Grandma M. came to visit, and we all went to a baby blessing, of course we had to dress up so here is Evie in a dress that was made for her cousin for our wedding, cool huh.

      

             This is Evie getting tired, this is the preferred way of showing she is tired (the other way is crying).

    We got a chair for her so she can sit up with us like a big person, she loves it. 

        We were thinking that maybe she would like to eat like a big person too, we have since decided that maybe we will wait another week or so. 

   But, I guess she did have fun getting food all over everything she could reach.

Here she is helping me wash clothes, I couldn't carry the basked and her, and I didn't want to make

two trips, So, this is what I do.

  

And, lastly, here she is discovering her new favorite toy, her feet. 

Happy Thursday

A Poem

I think that I shall never see,
A poem lovely as a sleeping Evie.
An Evie whose hungry mouth is...
Well, I really just wanted to show this.

Motherhood

So, in the past I've heard of mothers who cry when their child gets shots, whenever I would hear this somewhere inside of me my inner eye would roll, just a little. I mean kids cry a lot don't they, and they have to get shots, it is good for them, so no big deal right. Well, I am one of those mothers that has to leave the room, or if not I am there crying too. Pathetic I know, but it is just so sad to hear her "in pain" cry. Thus, here is my apology for any one who told me they couldn't handle their child's shots.

and here are a few pictures that I need to clean of my camera.

Evie likes to sleep on her side, she is also rolling over a little, and falling asleep while doing so.

This is her trying to squirm somewhere different, she was previously completely on the blanket.

This is right after she just rolled all the way over, including getting over the great obstacle, her arm. And check out her cool hair, awesome huh.


And here are my siblings and Grandma, we are celebrating her 95th birthday.

Randomnemities

So here is this past week wrapped up.
Couch we got half of it (it's a sectional), how does their warehouse only have half of a sectional?
SexyModest So there is this store called sexy/modest and I wondered what on earth do they sell it sounds like an oxymoron right? Well I had to check it out and I would have titled it preppy/modest
Culture speaking of dressing preppy we currently moved where I am pretty sure families around here walked out of a clothing magazine. It is going to take me forever to get any neighbors names memorized because everyone looks the same to me.
Not Logan I have totally been missing Logan this week. The cooler weather, deer, Dr. M., being an hour away from Bear Lake, and friends.
Evie is starting to smile it is heart melting, and she likes to suck on her fingers and pull her hair.

Hair

Well here it is after spending the past couple of months with my hair in a pony tail I have decided it should just be shorter. So, I found this awesome site to "try on a few styles" What do you think? I am considering the last one.

Coming Soon

1. Pictures of Evie, just as soon as I find what box the batteries were in so I can replace the dead ones in the camera.
2. A couch, just as soon as we feel secure in spending that amount of money right after having a baby.
3. Pictures of our awesome new place. (reason, see number 1.)
4. New Hobbies, that is after I do something other than watch TV shows online and catch up on reading books that I've been meaning to get to.
5. Sleep, ...... .. . Just kidding, she usually sleeps 6 to 7 hours a night then for 3 or 4 more hours after that. (neener neener neener)

Soothings

First of all we didn't go with the popular vote which was Ella, Instead we named her Eve (or Evie which spelling do you like?) Here are some random pictures.





So, the other night I was trying to feed her and she was fussing a bit, Jared fell asleep and started snoring, (he is pretty fast at falling asleep these days) immediately Eve calmed down, a couple minutes later Jared stopped snoring and she started fussing again... what happened a few minutes after? J started snoring again and she was again soothed. I guess this just goes to show that sounds that were familiar to her before she was born are still a comfort for her.

Hello World

Here is our beautiful baby. Born exactly on her due date, 6 lbs. 9 oz. and 19.5 inches long. It is still sinking in for us that we are parents,

but we are enjoying the experience immensely (other than having to hold her while they draw her blood).


So I remember the showers and getting clothes for her they all looked so small, and I wondered if she would get a chance to wear any of them. Well the above outfit is the smallest one we got that a relative made and it fits the best.

She is not a fan of her arch-nemesis the car seat. While she does look cute riding in it she does not like being in it.


After a long hard day of being cute she still looks adorable when sleeping. She is truly our sweetheart.
