Our Family

2 weekends ago Laney came over in her TuTu while Evey was napping....So I told Laney, Evey would come over later in her TuTu. Here is Evey in her TuTu...ready to spend the afternoon with Laney. They were so cute playing together.Sunday, the sun finally came out again. We did some small projects around the house and played outside.

This is my new favorite product. Evey seems to be constantly fighting congestion and the doctors say nose spray and suction will help. It was a little bit of struggle to do this process with the Little Noses nose spray. Now it is a cinch. She actually like this now. I think cause it is a lighter spray. Anyway...try it. We love it now at our house.

Miss Evey is 20 Months old. She is still only 21 lbs, but don't let her size fool you cause she is tough and full of spunk. She is my little helper these days, love to clean up messes (not hers of course), wipe stuff down. She is very good at knowing what is trash and what is recycle. She sings Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star, Itsy Bitsy Spider, and the E-I-E-O part of old MacDonald. She has so many many words that she uses regularly. We only have a couple of sentences so we will keep working on that. She really like numbers...tu..free..six..seben..nine..ten..YAY!! She loves Baby Einstein, not that interested in any other TV or movies. Except maybe Choo Choo Soul (10 minute show on Disney channel)...if we are having breakfast and she hears it come on...she has to get down to go dance...so funny. She is now feeding herself apple sauce and yogurt with very little mess...been holding back on these cause I could see yogurt go flying across the kitchen. Still a really good eater.

Some of the things that Mommy and Daddy love are:
I love when I get you in the morning and you smile really big and say "Mo-ning". I love when you peak around things and say "HIIIII". I LOVE hearing you say Mommy...most beautiful sound in the world. Daddy's favorite thing is you running up to him when he gets home from work...always ecstatic to see him.

Hey moms...can you please post in the comments what music CDs your kids like in the car. We need to get some for E.

I picked Evey up from school this week and one of the ladies put her hair in a pony tail. It was pretty cute for probably not having a brush or anything. We have got to get her hair cut or something cause it is everywhere.

Happy Birthday sweet heart. We are so proud of you. Love Char and Evey.

This past weekend we celebrated James's birthday with friends, neighborhood friends and work friends. We have a fiesta! Fajitas and the works. Plus the kids enjoyed cracking open a pinata and fondue for dessert. It was a really good time. I am so glad everyone could come. I hope this is just the beginning of some new friendship made.

We got a lot of snow early last week. It was beautiful...still a little bit hanging around. Moses is not to fond of it...has trouble finding a spot to use the potty. Evey thought it was beautiful as well. "SNO...SNO...SNO

Evangeline turned 18 months this month. Monday, she had her checkup and it was wonderful. The doctor asked very specific questions about her development and brought a few toys in, to she what she would do. She did wonderfully and is right on track developmentally. She is 30 inches tall and 20 lbs 2 oz. She has probably 40 or so words that she uses regularly. Doctor said to expect her to start putting several words together any day now. She is so fun and so sweet. She loves puzzles, books and coloring. She had fun finger painting the other day, but kept saying "mess" "mess." Every morning on the way to school...she says "Bus" "Bus"...we look for school buses every morning and she gets so excited when we see one. She is also doing very well saying "Pease" and "Tank You". Oh and she LOVES having Moses here. She gives him treats and kisses. Here are some pictures over the last several months...there are a lot mostly for the grandparents.
