Beautiful

Picture says it all, we are so blessed.

Birthday Party

We had so much fun celebrating Evelyn's birthday with friends and family. She had so much fun eating her blueberry cake, opening presents, and playing with her friends.

One Year

Our sweet little girl is one year old today. I can't believe how fast this last year has flown by. The Lord has truly blessed us by giving us a whole year with such a wonderful and beautiful addition to our family. Evelyn has changed so much from our little preemie to a spunky toddler. She is our little miracle baby and we love her so much.

Alpine

A couple weeks ago we went to Alpine with our friends Josh and Heather and their little ones Avie and Elijah. We had a lot of crazy times with 3 little (4 1/2 hour car ride!) but it was a lot of fun and we really enjoyed spending the weekend with such good friends. We spent most the time just hanging out and taking care of the kiddos but we also watched movies, played games, went on a walk, saw Elk out the cabin window, and the boys had fun taking the jeep and going shooting and talking like they always do. We are thankful for good friends we can just do life with.

8 Months

Evelyn is 8 months old and getting so big. She can sit up on her own and has been rolling over and over all around the living room. She has become a lot more interested in books and can turn the page on her own. She has also started waving "hi" a little bit and eating table food too. She is still saying da da but now she is saying it when she sees Josh. She makes her own little noises to the kitty and loves her rubber duck in the bath tub and talks to it. We caught her sleeping on her stomach one time but she doesn't really seem to like that position very much and hasn't done it since. She loves going to the park and swinging.She only takes two 1 1/2 hour naps a day now in the morning and afternoon. Her top two teeth are pushing in and should be visable any day now! Here are a few pictures from this month so far. We also went to the park and took more and I will post those. >>> Thanks to our friend Melissa who is letting us borrow her camera so we aren't missing so many memories since ours is need of fixing.<<<

Update

So I have kept putting off posting since our camera hasn't but it doesn't look like it will be fixed for a little while still so I wanted to do some updates. Evelyn got her first tooth on Feb 7th the day she turned 7 months. Her second tooth pushed through a couple days later! She is so cute with her little teeth and I can't believe how big she is now! She is sitting up pretty good on her own although she is still a little wobbly. Her eyes are still the most gorgeous blue and her hair is starting to get curly like her daddy's. She started saying da-da which made Josh just beam with joy. I am so thankful for this little girl and God has been reminding me to stop more and enjoy the time we have and not to take it for granted.

French Fries

Ok. So Christen hasn't posted for a while because she has been really busy and our camera is busted (kind of). It should be up and running soon. But we are able to take pictures with our new phones so here are some of Evelyn trying a french fry for the first time last week at In N Out (she just gummed it). There is also a pic of me holding her on Josh and Heather's couch. Random, I know, but I love that little girl so much, and she is so beautiful.
