Getting Ready for Fall Fun!

It has been a GREAT summer! We have been so busy! Of course with work and what not...but especially with our pumpkin! We have spent these past few warm weeks enjoying our pool, riding bikes, hitting the park and riding the rides at Fantasy Island! Evelyn is such a great swimmer!! (of course, with her life jacket on!) but she really isn't afraid of the water or to swim off by herself! (never to far from Mommy or Daddy though).

We haven't been to the Doctor since her 2nd birthday (knock on wood). But using our home scale, Evelyn is weighing in around 28lbs these days! She is developing just wonderfully! Loves to run, jump in puddles, chase the cats around the house (much to their pleasure I'm sure!)

Her vocabulary is truly taking off as well! We communicate so much better these days -- making things much easier for Jay and I! She can count from 1 to 10 - sometimes not in order, but hey, we are getting there. She somewhat knows her ABC's, but prefers Mommy to sing with her (look out American Idol). She knows several animal sounds and likes to read with Mommy - that is after we watch a million Mickey Mouse Clubhouse episodes!!! Truly her favorite show -- our DVR is FULL of Mickey!!
