Evie is 7 1/2 months, and I still can't believe I even have a baby. It is so much fun and even more fun to see her grow and learn and explore every-single-day. She's a professional crawler now, and looks similar to how a frog moves. I will set her down with her toys in the family room, leave to the kitchen to do dishes, and then suddenly hear her little sticky hands move from the carpet to the tile.
When Evie found her tongue, she would stick it out and make the goofiest faces.
We went out to Dinner one night, and she was making this face while simultaniously making a low grunting noise that caught the attention of pretty much everyone at Chipotle.
Over the span of just a couple days, Evie went from lying on her tummy, to "mermaid" pose (I call it mermaid because its what Ariel does in the Little Mermaid), to full on military push up position. I don't think i've ever, or will ever have such posture when doing a pushup. She got that from Casey!
Evie is the sweet little girl and has Casey and I doing everything to make her happy and healthy and strong. If I had a guarantee from Heavenly Father, that each one of my children will be just like her, then I will have no problem having like 10 kids. But then he's also going to have to give us the bank account for having 10 kids!
Once Evie started getting her top teeth, it was pretty much game over for nursing. I can't believe how many teeth she has, let alone how many for such a small and young baby! Its funny to feed her puffs, because she'll bite down on them and you can hear the little crunch it makes from her teeth.
We went out to lunch with Grandma and Grandpa Pew one day, and Evie was entertained by everything! She has always been like that. It was, however, the first time she had actual shoes on. So instead of eating her lunch, she was more entertained by her shoes. I'm also glad that she's now big enough to sit in a high chair without falling through the slits. Becuase its a regular things for her sit like this.
This is the latest and greatest picture of Evie. She will be this happy for you, as long as you feed her and make rediculous faces. I honestly can't wait to see her personality expand and how she'll be when she's older. I wont mind if she wants to skip year 2.
I feel like when I blog, its the time period of several months between each post, and then when I do post, it'll usually be overload. Before I had Evie, I had nothing really to post about, and now it's like every day I want to update the blog! So sorry for the overload on Evie, but she's just pretty much the center of our lives right now!
Casey is still working at Bank of America and keeps impressing his managers and co-workers with his exceptional communication skills and leadership skills. Bank of America is a lucky company to have Casey. I feel like Casey will be great at anything he does, especially Dentistry (Is that a word?) once all his schooling is done. He is the best dad to Evie, and loves to hug and kiss her everyday when he comes home from work. I'll be going back to work this week, and at first I was nervous to leave Evie with Casey (Because lets be honest, men do not have the same tender, mothering, nurturing skills that women are born with! They do, however, have protective and loving feeling for their kids, and thats especially the case for Casey). SO the past couple days, I've been having Casey do a little more of the parenting responsibilities, so I can get a "peace of mind" of how it will be when he watches Evie while I'm at work. I can honestly say that I am very comfortable leaving Evie with and and I trust him 100%. I never imagined after starting a family that I'd need to go back to work, but I will do anything I can to help my wonderful husband get through school so he can achieve his goal of becoming a dentist. Thats why I'm so grateful that I went to Cosmetology school, and that I have that skill and LOVE it, so that in this case, I can go to work, and enjoy what I do!
***So that being said, If you or anyone you know, would like a day of pampering, come see me and the other stylists over at Primp and Blow (Yes, you read that right, thats the name of the salon).
