Evey's World

I have been wanting to do a post on our little Evey for a very long time. The first year goes by so quickly yet at the same time there is so much change that goes on. These photos capture her from age 10 months-now(14 months). She is such a delight in our home and we enjoy her every move. I love how her siblings dote over her. Everything she does is wonderful and we're so happy to have her as our caboose. She is just perfect in every way! Here is what we love about Evey:
Her features:

blue eyes

wonderful smile


Her many faces:








Her Firsts (as of late):

first steps(started walking at 13 months)



reading on her own
climbing



Her loves:

the piano

bath time


food
laundry baskets


drinking from a straw

"blankie"

Evey's 1 year check up was late. I took her in when she just turned 14 months. She weighed 23 pounds (63%ile) and was 32" tall (95%ile). It's bitter-sweet to see her grow. She is as healthy as ever to which we are most thankful! Oh..and she currently has 14 teeth..chow down!

She has also added to her list of vocabulary: here-u-go (she'll hand me something and say this)
0wee (I showed her the needle marks in her leg and
even though the marks have disappeared
she still says the word when she says her
bare leg or any one elses)
Hiee (Hi) she'll say this to anyone when she is in the mood
Ka-ka (Carter)

I'm sure there are many more I'm forgetting..I'll have to add to it later. So thanks for viewing this very long post on our Evey. I just don't want to miss a single moment!!!

Cute little Evey! She really is the perfect caboose. Thanks for letting me get a little snuggle time with her on Sunday, what a treat. This is just so cut, Melanie and another witness to what a great Mom you are.

What a fun post, Mel! I loved reading all about Evey! Some of my favorite photos are the one where she is winking, the scrunching of her face, the one in her stroller with pink ribbon, and the one where she is reading her own book by her big sister. So stinkin' cute, Evey is such a little sweetie! I love how she says here u go - so fun to hear them say there firt words and sentences. I think it is so great how much you are loving everything about her, you are a wonderful mom!
