…Of this little girl!

SAMSUNG

 

Sometimes she drives me a little crazy by getting into everything, but she is so curious and bright and just wants to use her new-found talents as much as possible.

And playing with her doggies (click image below for video):

And of course, practicing her Ninja Warrior skills. She is making good progress, but she doesn’t have the “silent” part down yet. (Click image below for video)

With such an amazing little girl, who could want more? My only fear is that she’s going to develop a complex with all the photos and videos I keep taking of her. 🙂

Swinging time!

Swinging time!
Swinging time!

It might rain a little later today, but the weather this morning was perfect for taking a nice walk and stopping by the park.

SAMSUNGEvelyn really loves her swings. I even got a little video at the tail end of our swinging. (Click the image below to see Evie having fun on the swings!)

9 months, Easter, and Evie

9 months, Easter, and Evie

It’s a sobering thought when your first little person has now spent more time OUTSIDE of you than in you!  But our sweet Evelyn turned 9 months old last Thursday.

I know. She was not a fan of her pictures. But she has three more months of these photoshoots before I stop, so she’ll just have to deal accordingly.

(Sorry for the lateness of the pics, btw. Between me being sick -AGAIN- and family in town, I was taking life day by day!)

The past month or two, she’s developed this intense/excited look. It’s kind of like she really wants to say something and is super excited, but she just can’t get the words out. Here’s an example of it in photo- it’s cuter in person, though.

Grandma K. was here while the hubster was away being a judge at a FIRST Robotics regional competition, and Grandma K. made sure that Evelyn was a spoiled little girl and helped us splurge to get her some lovely things. I don’t think I’ve gotten myself new clothes since Evelyn was born, but I can’t stop myself finding cute things for her! (Grandma also helped us with getting our yard and garden back on track, but that can be a later post!)

We also got to celebrate Easter with Evie, and the best part was seeing my little girl look like a perfect angel in her Easter dress.

Straight from heaven, right? I cannot believe how lucky I am to live this wonderful life. Evelyn brings us all so much joy! I feel like my heart must have grown three sizes or more when she was born, and I wasn’t even that “Grinchy” to begin with!

Okay, before I get too sappy, I wanted to share Jared’s Easter basket. Since he loves zombie flicks and lately has been all about “The Walking Dead” and the zombie apocalypse, I saw these and had to special order them for his Easter basket.

Happy Green Day!

Happy Green Day!

Well, at least I am pretty sure St. Patrick’s Day is one of Evie’s uncle’s FAVORITE days. Right, Stephen? Yes? Oh yeah, he probably doesn’t read my blog because he’s busy being a college student. *eye roll*

And I am a fan of most things Irish. (Gotta try to talk Jared into watching “The Secret of Kells” with me again….)

Here’s Evie wishing you all a happy day of wearing green and not getting pinched by others.
