13 Months

Evey is growing up she looks more like a little girl and less like a baby every day. She is taking steps on her own regularly now but doesn't trust herself quite yet to take more than 3 or 4 steps. She is very smart likes puzzles and her friends at "school". She is breastfeeding 2 times a day in the morning and evening before bed. Sometimes in the middle of the night or before nap on weekends. She knows lots of words but doesn't use them on demand all the time she likes to have grunting matches with Shawn where they grunt back and fourth it's very funny and drives me a little crazy. I'm selling things at whale of a sale so I'm busy getting her small cloths together for that. God is teaching me about not earning my salvation but loving him because he loves me like a daughter and that he is my father.

I can't believe it my baby is 1!!!! She is doing so many cool things it was a blast to throw her a very Hungary Caterpillar birthday party and to have my whole family together in one room. She is starting to climb up the stairs every night before bed and standing on her own more took a few steps for daddy and is getting closer to walking every day. So now I have to baby prof even more a whole new level of things she can reach.

Evey loves to play with balloons, puzzles, books, dolls and my new favorite newspaper where I give her the junk mail and she moves the adds from pile to pile it's adorable. She still doesn't like milk very much but we're working on adding it in a little at a time to her water. Nurses about 3-5 times a day still. Her favorite foods are cheese, yogurt, green beans, cherries, strawberries, and most lunch meats.

Saying Please she learned it in a few days she can learn so fast! I'm trying to think of new things to teach her all the time like colors, words, animal sounds, signs. Evey is always busy and on the go she loves baby dolls she going to be an awesome mom some day like her mom. :O) Evey's Grandma loves to play with her at school. Speaking of School Evey moved to the next room the Wallabies she likes playing with new toys and a dark nap time the teacher are very nice too. Miss Bailey and Mrs. Megan. She is eating the food the big kids eat now all cut up small for her. I'm trying to find things at garage sales that are all plastic for her room so they can have some new toys.



Evey can say lots of words she has about 20 words that I can make out what they are like "dink" for drink and "jers" for cheers she says mamma :0 which always makes me smile even in the morning when she should still be asleep. She has a bit of a cold I'm hoping it will go away or not get worse waiting to take her in to the 12 month apt coming up August 11th. I've taken some pretty cute video of her lately her laugh is so addictive!!! I feel like she says or does something new every day like yesterday she tickled my feet it was so funny she laughed and laughed.



I know lots of pregnant people so I'm excited to have little babies around again! Jennifer is due any day now!!! Three other friends are due in December/January. Life is good.



I'm having so much fun planning Evey's first birthday it will be a nice time to celebrate her :) with everyone I'm hoping that goes well.
