Ok..so last post was in October...Hmmm....what's happened since then?!?! TONS!! We have welcomed two new babies into our 'group'... Juilanna Margaret and Brynn Marie have joined Evelyn in the ranks of "sisterhood" and we have two more on they way for 2013 (Can't wait for Baby A and Baby M!...no brothers or sisters on the horizon for Ms. Pumpkin though as of now...so stop wondering!)
Evelyn and all of us had a great Thanksgiving holiday! Her appetite though is that of a bird! Seriously, kid....EAT! But, her favorite foods at this moment include mac and cheese (of course), green beans (score!), corn (no nutrition, but whatev's), frozen yogurt (thank you Go-Gurts!) and of course any candy or "special treat" she can get her hands on!!
Christmas this year was (as expected) even better then the last! Evelyn is totally into the idea of getting presents (duh), Santa Clause and feeding reindeer (thanks Nana!) She did 'ok' this year with the 'mall Clause' for her holiday picture...no tears but there was some hesitation! And then on Xmas Eve when Poppa dressed up as Santa (dear lord, don't let her be able to read this while she still believes! nice job Mama! Always believe pumpkin...always!) ...anyway...when Santa came on Xmas Eve she wanted nothing to do with it! Evelyn is so loved by everyone...she got so many presents and we are very blessed to be able to give her such a wonderful holiday. What was the 'big' gift of the year?? Hmm...she is totally into Jake and Neverland Pirates right now so anything to do with them is a huge deal for her!! But, we did get her fish!! And....they died within two weeks! LOL (thank goodness it wasn't a puppy, right?!) We have since replaced "Stinky" and "Socky" (that's right Ev...that is what you named your first pets!)...and now we have Izzy and Jake..(see...told you... obsessed with the Pirate show as these are characters from it!)
Some other 'growth' remarks...Ev now weights 36lbs, which we know because we were recently at the doctors for a double ear infection....still haven't outgrown those Pumpkin!! She is tons of fun though at this age...especially for Jay...they wrestle...play 'horsey'...and she loves just being swung around in any direction! Still in daycare (which we call school) but hoping to hit pre-K in the fall this year! Evelyn knows all her numbers and ABC's...she can tell you her address and her birthday and is pretty spot on when picking out family members and friends in photos. We are working in Mommy's cell number along with letter recognition....oh, and spelling her name!
Below are some photos of the past few months!! I wont promise when my next blog will be because we (all what...3 of us that read this?!? LOL)...we know we don't know when it will be!!
I love you the mostest Ev! (our saying :) )
