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.

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.

Everyday

Everyday Evelyn learns something new.


It is such an amazing blessing and privilege to be her mommy and teach her and watch her learn. Lately she has been learning to use her sippy cup and she looks like such a big girl drinking all by herself. Here are a couple pictures from when she was first learning last month to hold it.

Big Girl

So these are the first pictures we got of Evelyn's beginning attempts of sitting up on her own. These were from early January right before she turned 6 months. She is getting better and better everyday so hopefully I can get even recent ones up soon!

Beautiful Girl

Here are the pictures we took at 5 months at the park behind our house. Evelyn was such a happy girl that day.

6 months

So this is the 6 month car seat shot. I will be taking 7 months on Friday but as you can tell I am getting pretty behind already with my blog (so much for my New Years Resolution huh!)

Cute As A Button

Look how cute my little girl is all ready for a walk with daddy.

Christmas With Family

Catching up to 2009. We spent Christmas Eve with Josh's side of the family and Christmas afternoon with my family. Here are some pictures from both.
