Trying out the new slide! (5.16.15)

On our walk this morning, we found this adorable little slide for the bargain price of $10 (with a pair of rain boots thrown in!).  We know Evra is a bit too young to enjoy it now, but it will be perfect for her when she gets older!  Daddy helped her try it out this morning...

Checking out the new slide!


Weeeeeeeee!!!




Success!

Fun with Dr. Seuss (again...) (5.14.15)

Evra dressed up in her Dr. Seuss outfit, hanging out with her favorite books!


Do you think that she has enough books?!?

Such a happy girl!



"Hey guys!  Let's read this one!  It's my favorite!!"

"Oh... but this one is good, too..."

So studious, even at such a young age!

"This is the funny spot, guys!"

Dr. Seuss butt!



Books are almost as delicious as Puffs!

Eating puffs! (5.12.15)

Evra has not successfully mastered the pincher grasp (picking up a small item with her thumb and index finger, instead of her whole hand), so her new favorite thing is feeding herself.  We started out with dissolvable little pieces of food (puffs), but will probably advance to more solid food soon.  So fun!  Can't believe how fast she is growing and changing!


Working on picking up the Puffs...


Success!!


So happy!!


Look at that pincher grasp!  As Nana would say, "she's a genie-i!"

"Hey Ma, look what I just did!"

Happy eight month, Evra! (5.10.15)

Happy 8 months to our sweet, adorable, happy, wonderful little girl!!


I can't believe that she is already 2/3 of a year old!  Time flies.  (Yes, I say this every time, but I just can't get over how fast Evra seems to be growing up!).  She makes every single day happy, new, and exciting.  I can't believe how much joy she has brought in to our lives!  She seems to be changing every day, and making new developments all of the time.  I wish time would slow down; but at the same time, I can't wait to see what the next month brings!

Likes:
- Going on runs with Mommy and Daddy.
- Bath time.
- Reading books.
- Sitting on Daddy's shoulders.
- Eating food.

Dislikes:
- Being tired.
- Poopy diapers.

Evra's favorites!
- Word: Bababababa.  She used to have to make this sound by putting her arm in her mouth.  Now she makes it all by herself!
- Food: Sweet potatoes.  And puffs/Mum-Mums (they are all the rage right now...)
- Toy: Lovie.


- Family member: Mason (Evra is always staring at him and her face lights up when he walks in the room!).

Skills:
- Sitting without any toppling!
- Getting from a sitting to a lying position (but not yet the other way around, which makes Evra a little bit angry...).
- Sleeping through the night!!!!!!!!! (Obviously, this one is very exciting for Mommy and Daddy...)
- Smiling and giggling (we try everything we can to get Evra to giggle, because it is literally the best thing in the world!)
- Grabbing and putting everything in her mouth...




Eight month milestones:
- Eating lots of solid foods.  Now also moving on to non-pureed foods!  (The list is way too long to keep track of now...)
- Sleeping through the night.  It's worth mentioning twice...

Happy Mother's Day! (5.10.15)

Spending Mother's Day with all of the important people in my life!  Thanks to Evra for allowing me to celebrate by First Mother's Day!!

Ailia and Evs.

Mommy, Evra, Auntie K, and Liv!

The "Huffman" girls!


Happy Mother's Day to Mommy!!  Such a happy girl!
