Hello 7 Months!!!


My sweet girl is 7 months old today! The last 6 months have gone by quickly, a bit too quickly! Sometimes I miss my sweet little newborn, my baby who I cuddled all day. She is far too busy exploring the world around her to be held all day these days! I do love the stage my Evie has entered though! Some of my favorite things at the moment...


Her adorable 2 little teeth... I love when I can see flashes of them in her big smile!


Her contagious giggle... She cracks up when we say mama and dada, she thinks peek-a-boo is just such a silly game, and watching Mommy bunny hop toward her is hysterical to watch!!! So hysterical sometimes a snort escapes her little nose!


I love feeding her fruit and veggies... She gets so excited and says "mmmmm" after every bite!


She loves books... Her face lights up when we read her favorite book Bella Butterfly!


She sits up with the help of her boppy pillow and happily plays... She looks like such a big girl!


I love our little conversations... She hasn't said mama or dada yet, but she coos up a storm!


My heart completely melts when I see her face as Ryan walks through the door at night... She gets so very excited to see her Daddy!


I love doing her hair... her little ponytail or pigtails are just too stinkin' cute!
I love her chubby cherub cheeks... Perfect for smooching!


I am madly in love with my sweet Evelyn and I'm looking forward to each and every new first with her!!!


Oh, and I just want to post a quick thank you to my amazing Mom for the fabulous treats!!!

Oh Maura, I can hardly believe 7 months have passed so quickly. Where does time go?
It sounds like Evie has the same bright sunny personality that you do.

BTW - you must video that bunny hop so I can chuckle right along with Evie. Has Ryan seen you do that yet? LOL!

Do you have a Webcam so that Evie can say hello to her Uncle Pete. I'm buying my son in California one for Christmas so I can keep in touch with him and see my new little grandbaby all the time.

Have a great weekend. I'm off to the boonies. OH, and you still have Bonanza's out there? I think our version of that is the Ponderosa Restaurants. But I do remember a few Bonanza's in my travels. It is a steak place right?

I know, 7 months have gone by more quickly than I can believe! And thank you... she is a pretty happy baby!!! As for the bunny hop, Ryan laughs as much as Evie does. I'm sure I look ridiculous, but I love the giggle fit that follows!

We do have a webcam and we have to set up some Skype dates with Uncle Pete and Auntie Alex. I think it would be a great Christmas gift!!! If your other kids have them too you can all chat on skype at the same time... you could have skype parties! :)

Bonanza and Ponderosa are the same. It's a steak place and Peter worked there for a few years when he was in high school so he really wanted to eat there before he left for London. Hope you have a great weekend!!!
