Snack Time/Practice

It's after the afternoon nap, and inevitably, Evelynn gets hungry...snack time! Today it is a quick meal of fruit puffs and cheerios served on the coffee table. What can I say, low maintenance.
Mmmmm, puffs!
I love how Evelynn gave us the most exaggerated puff eating she could, the girl knows about the camera!
She decided to do a little walking/standing practice during snack...the kid never stops moving!
I tried to capture both the standing and the look she gets on her face when she tries to walk....too cute.

Becoming Friends!

Here's a little update on Caleb! It has been such a joy watching him a couple days a week, and he just seems to fit right in with the family. Evelynn has been learning A LOT about sharing, and failing miserably most of the time! Still, they are becoming great friends.
It took me forever to get both of the kids to smile...goodness pete, now I know why pictures with multiple kids always has someone looking another direction! In this one they both have smiles, but Evelynn is looking past the camera into the hallway...what a goof!
This one is a great smile for Evelynn, but Caleb decided to just smirk instead of giving me one of his classic grins.
Caleb has been working on rolling over for the past week, and even rolled front to back for his Mom and Dad at home. I am still waiting... (check out that look of concentration, cracks me up)
Who can resist that smile?

But, like most babies his age, he does a lot more sleeping than he does playing. Evelynn can't wait until he can be a little more active!

Baking Cookies

"Daddy wants to bake some cookies! Are you ready? Listen carefully to the directions..."
"I will do the measuring!"
Evelynn did a great job helping her Daddy bake chocolate chip cookies on Monday night!
She loves to stir things with her spoons. (This makes sense because she sees Mommy do this all of the time with her meals.)
Daddy also let her taste the sugar, brown sugar, and butter mixture! I have a feeling this was her favorite part!

Eating By Myself!

Evelynn ate her cereal all by herself for the first time!
Meal times are about to get a WHOLE LOT MESSIER!

10 months old

Evelynn is ten months old! My baby is growing up!!
She has on her cute camo outfit that she got for Christmas from the Busers...too cute!
Sometimes Evelynn likes to make funny faces for the camera...love it!
Oh yeah, and Daddy still likes making faux-hawks on his baby...when will this get old?
Evelynn is showing us her favorite bath toy...yes, it is two links...don't ask me why that is her favorite!

Toy Box Fun!

Well, this isn't the first time we have caught Evelynn IN her toy box!
Usually she still has her legs flying in the air, but apparently she has mastered the technique!
"Mom, don't embarass me!"
I love how her ear is pinned back in this picture, but she is still smiling for the camera!

Fourth of July

Evelynn was part of an Independence Day parade in our nieghborhood this year!

Lots of kids from the neighborhood showed up with decorated bikes, wagons, scooters, strollers, and even a few very cute dogs!
Here we are strolling around Miller Blvd. hoping to win the grand prize!
Evelynn didn't win first prize, but she did get to try watermelon for the first time...what a treat!
"Is it time for fireworks yet?"
