That is the least of our news....
It finally happened...Evelyn said 'Momma'.....loud and clear. It happened this past weekend (March 09) and omg...I could have died. So sweet! Of course, I teared up and the best part about it..she kept saying it!! She has always known her 'Momma' as well as her 'Daddy'....and I'll be fair...she has been saying 'Da-da' for a little bit now. But, let me tell you, as a first time mother...there have been no other sweeter, most precious words uttered in my life. It was awesome.
She has been saying 'Momma' now on a daily basis and she knows what it means. When she wakes up in her crib (of course after minutes of 'playing')..we hear 'Momma...Momma...Momma"...OR when she wakes up scared...bad dream or something...we hear "Momma...Momma...Momma"! Tell me, how do you not run to that!!!! Not to fear..she does say "Da-da" as well...but..its more Mommas!! lol :)
Evelyn is now an avid crawler as well...on all fours and in and out of every room in the household! She has also started pulling herself up onto tables and furniture which prompted Jay and I to take some safety action with outlet covers and table-end cushions.
We have to start mixing some more table food (textures) into her diet so we can gradually ween her of the baby food. This is going to take sometime because 1) Evelyn had an 'episode' when we took her out to dinner...her first real throw up! Early that day I had given her the first grilled cheese sandwich to try and later that night Jay and I and Evelyn of course went to dinner with Nana and Poppa...all was well until after the salad course left the table. Evelyn turned into the exorcist!!! OMG.....I have never seen projectile vomit like that! I know even reading about it is gross..but TRUST ME...if you were there and got to smell that curdled cheese all over me....it's a different story! It was crazy and I was def. scared because this was something 'new.' We got through it though and unfortunately the same thing happened the following Monday..all over our kitchen floor. I had learned there was a stomach bug going through daycare so I guess my little pumpkin picked up something! And, it was a good reason to mop the kitchen floor! Happy to say she is at full 100% health right now and growing more and more by the day!!!
Looks like we are going to have to reschedule the date of her first birthday party from May 22 to May 29 only because the city pavilions do not open until Memorial Day weekend. O'well though! We will give our family and friends their first cookout and party of the summer! All in honor of our precious pumpkin who be a whole 1 years old!!!
