Evelyn is now 2!
(And I blogged about her birthday here!)
-My baby girl is two years old and I can't believe it!
-I feel like I say this every month but her vocabulary and arsenal of little phrases is rapidly expanding. It seems she only needs to hear/learn a word once then it is immediately applied correctly to her vocabulary. She says the funniest things!
-It's so funny the things she picks up on. We have introduced her to her second Disney movie, 101 Dalmatians. So the other day she picks up her play phone and keeps saying, " Roger, She's not a FEEF!"...It took me a few times to figure out what she was saying... but there is a part in the movie when Anita is on the phone with Cruella and she says to Roger, "She may be a little eccentric, Roger, but she's not a thief!" ha!
-She has been wearing big girl undies for almost 2 weeks and she is actually doing quite well! She went 4 days without an accident (yeah!!!) ,then we had a couple days where it seemed she took a step back, but we will continue to work on it, and I am very pleased with how things are going and the end it very closely in sight! Woo!
-We are currently working on her second memory verse, Philippians 2:14 'Do all things without grumbling or complaining" which is so cute to hear her say "grumblin". I tried to explain to her that it meant we do everything and obey with no whining or crying..so sometimes she will say "Do ALLLLLLL things with no grumblin' or cryin." Close enough ;-)
-Now she does this thing where she will grab my face, put her little hands on my cheeks and give me a kiss and say "I love you Momma!" Then my heart is in a puddle on the floor.

- She still loves to sing, dance, do anything arts & crafts, especially stamps and painting!
-The fun in having kiddos 18 months apart (almost to the day--same due date!) is that it is easy to remember when one has a birthday, the other is at a HALF birthday :-)
-This past month Hunter has gotten his two bottom teeth, which are so cute!Though they really bothered him coming in... ow!
-Hunter can now sit up by himself, yay! Though I am still not ready to just sit him there and walk away without some pillows around because when he sees something he wants to grab or look at he often will ka-boom! But I always love this stage because they can actually sit & play with toys now, and be more alert and interactive with what is going on.
-He has been eating fruits & veggies and so far has had no complaints on what the cook serves ;-) So far so good.
- He takes 3 naps, which lately kind of stink and he wakes after 45 minutes, but hopefully it is just a phase and will snap out of it soon.
- He loves to stand, and wants to walk around while holding someone's hands. I can't believe how big he is getting!
-Evelyn & Hunter are each other's biggest fans which I love!
(You can really see his little teeth in this one!!)
Cuuuuuuuuuuuties! Mommy puddles on the floor are such a good thing, huh? Such a blessing to receive their love. I had Emory saying Philippians 4:5 reeeeeeeeeeal early on "Let my gentleness be known to all." :-P
