Bye Bye Bye!

Evie can wave and say bye!

8 months

Happy 8 months (last Friday) Baby Girl!!!! July 11, 2011

This is a pic of you in your headband Mimi bought you in HHI. (Your Aunt Amanda says you look like a pageant girl! ha ha ha)

You were watching your cousin Logan eat a sandwich. You REALLY wanted it!

You stuff as many puffs in your mouth as you can!

Evie I can't believe you are 8 months.

Lately, you are a momma's girl....and when I say that...I mean it. I leave the room and you cry (even with relatives). B.B. took you to Edisto early and she couldn't leave your side you cried when she left the room. When I got there, you did the same thing with me (even when I left you with your daddy). You did the same thing when we went to Hilton Head. What's up with that? What are you going to do when I go back to work? Let's hope you don't do that at MDO in the fall. I don't want to get that phone call that you won't settle down! :)

• You got a bottom tooth on the right.
• You are waving and say ba ba ba.
• You say na na na when you are hungry.
• You are completely crawling on your hands and knees.
• You are pulling yourself up and even in the crib I found you standing one day.
• When I put you in your crib you sit up and scream when it is time you go to bed. AND you still wake up about 4am and have to sleep with me. No bottle, no passy, nothing will let you go back to sleep. I have decided that if you sleep til 4am in your own bed, that's good enough for now!!
• You and your brother are wearing the same size diapers!
• You LOOOOVVVEEEE Baby Einstein. You don't even move when it is on. We have created a TV monster, I guess.
• You always have these BLOWOUT diapers. What's up with that?
• You love to eat MUMs. You really love anything we give you. You even licked some bacon last weekend at the beach. Your brother wouldn't touch it...you probably would have eaten it if you had teeth!
• You have learned to scream (from your brother) in delight. We took the two of you to lunch yesterday and it was a disaster/nuts. We won't be doing that for a while!! :)
• We love you to pieces. Some days I could just eat you up! :)

TRACE'S ARTWORK

My B00-Boo's Summer Fun Art Work

Let's say this is interesting! Were the eyes supposed to go on the sun? I assume they "glued" the items down where he put them? :) And I love that he has a cloud on his head!

Evie Likes To Laugh!

18 months!!

Happy 18 Months Trace! You are officially a year and a half!

Wow! Times goes fast. Trace turned 18 months on June 23 -as well as the one year anniversary of my dad's death :( Above are some pictures of Trace in a camo onesie. I figured it being appropriate since my dad was the biggest hunter ever. He loved it and would hunt most things!

Trace-not sure how much you weigh, we will see at your appointment but last time you only weighed 23 lbs...let's hope more cause your sissy is catching up to you. (And mommy forgot to make your appointment so it's not til July 19th!!)

• You are the sweetest and darnest thing. You love to take pillows and blankets and lay on them like you are going night night. You love to pull the blankets out of the bin in your room and do that. You love to give kisses and come hug us in the lap, on the leg, wherever.
• You only really say yum yum, bye bye, hi, out (you think that is the dog's name!). You are talking your weird language and we are not sure what you are saying! :) You are repeating things and they sound like a weird alien language.
• You love yogurt covered raisins (the newest addition) and grapes. However, this morning you threw ALL of your grapes on the floor. Over and over you get in trouble for that and you still do it! What am I going to do with you?
• People think you are a girl all the time cause your hair is getting long in the back with curls! Someone said soccer hair...yep, you got the soccer hair!
• You are into everything. Your latest is feeding your sister things she doesn't need (just this morning...LINT, as well as food you DON'T want!) and trying to open drawers and find the remote, cell phone, etc. Just last week you have decided you want to put your foot on the kitchen table!
• Last night you were standing on my stomach and once you got balanced you were raising your hands above your head as if you were saying, "Look mom no hands!"
• You are obsessed with lights and fans. If they are NOT on, you point until we turn them on! And your sound machine. Everything has to been on in your room...your two fans and the sound machine. It makes me laugh.
• WE LOVE YOU, T!

7 months-June 10th

Guess who was 7 months June 10? Yep, Evie Rose. Whewww....time goes fast.

First of all it wasn't too great of a day. You had a 102 fever and were shaking and breathing funny (so I thought) and threw up...so I rushed you to the doctor. At the doctor's office your temp was 103.4! :( They ruled out many things cause the only symptom was a fever. Then they took blood. One vein popped so they had to do the other vein. YOU DID NOT LIKE IT ONE BIT. You screamed bloody murder the whole time. By the time I put you in your car seat, you were out. As of today, you are still having a fever but not as high. No idea why?!! They said viral but you have had a low grade temp for more than 10 days.

On a brighter note, these are some things you are doing:

• screeching-I think big brother T taught you this.
• loving some teething biscuits
• sitting up
• doing "splits" and getting stuck
• doing gymnastics in your crib and so your paci goes across the room
• loving T's toys...especially his driving wheel that plays music
• loving Mickey Mouse Clubhouse (cause of your bro)
• scooting all over the place
• you were taking swim lessons but not sure we are going to finish those
• getting a little "rooster" on the top of your head

Doing a split

Sweet baby girl

7 months

Making a big mess with that teething biscuit!!!!

We love you baby girl! :)

Highlands Photo Shoot

Memorial Day weekend we went to Highlands, NC. Can I just tell you how good it feels up there compared to this heat here? Anyway, we went for my cousin Heather's engagement "Summer Country Picnic". The food was sooo good (cooked by my great Aunt). I especially like the carrot cake bars. Deliciousness. And I forgot to take pictures DURING the party-um, taking care of two babies....but did have a little photo shoot with the T-man while everyone was setting up for the party.
