Evie's 10 Months!

Wow, we are getting close to being a year old!  Miss Evie is finally sleeping through the night, if I hadn't blogged that yet. Started doing that about 8 months old and boy was that a relief. She is an expert crawler and has 3 speeds - slow, normal, and hyperspeed-its really funny. She is pulling herself up onto things and is walking alongside the furniture.  This girls wants to talk! She is already spurting out words like peek-a-boo, tractor, uh oh, yeah, and Dada. She's still working on Mama. I think she is done with baby food; just doesn't eat it well. She's been starting to get good ole' table food - usually Gracie's leftovers cause she don't even touch hers.  She can be pretty whiney at times and likes to be held, but she's a very good girl most of the time. She likes her sister and trys to keep up with her.  She likes swim/bath time alot.  She's lots of fun!

Stir Up Days 2010

Gracie's waving hi to the dog on the float.  She would say "Gimme some candy!" to the passing by floats. She ended up with lots of it and a couple ice pops and two beach balls!
Of course, it had to be smoking hot at the parade (high of like 95 degrees and humidity of like 100%). Luckily Evie was able to get a nice spot in the shade. Poor poopsie was still smoking, though. She was just enjoying a bottle of milk here.
I love this picture. After the parade, Gracie noticed the ponies and wanted to ride them with her little friend Emma.  She kept giving Emma the thumbs up while they were riding. God it was cute!  I had her give us one.  We went home after the parade and loved up the a/c.  We went in the morning to the smile contest and Gracie just gave a half smile and Evie was scared. So, we didn't win. Maybe next year!
