9 and 10 months - Evelyn

Total mom fail. It's been busy. And by busy I mean...tiring.  For some reason, Evelyn....you have had a rough go. Between getting sick with what we think was sixth's disease, teething (which you are horrible at...you run temperatures and are miserable), and just overall seasonal allergies...it has been a long couple months. You are especially frustrating because you still are waking a few times at night to eat....which shouldn't be happening anymore .  You go to bed at 6:30pm and wake at 7ish am...so I shouldn't be upset...and you go right back to bed...but honestly momma is TIRED.  You also absolutely refuse to let me put a spoon in your mouth and you hate your sippy (it just is thrown on the floor immediately)....so it's been rough on this momma.  However, you are overall just such a HAPPY easy baby...that I'm not mad at you.  I can't be.

Anyway....you went to the doctor last week Monday with Grace and I. You are 93% for height, 80% for weight (a little over 20lbs) and 88% for head size.  Dr. Levy says you look great - and we agree.  You are climbing on everything, can stand on your own for a bit, transferring for thing to thing in the house.  You also can say "bye-bye" and wave, yell for the "DOg", and clap your hands. You love music and your sister....but really love your sister's PB chair.  You see it an immediately DIVE for it. 

You now have the top two teeth and three on the bottom.  Your blue eyes are amazing.  They sparkle like you wouldn't believe.  You are going to be a blondie - your hair is FINALLY coming in.

We made the trip to Wisconsin and Minnesota a few weeks ago.  The car ride was long, but you did really well. We had such a blast visiting everyone and you took an special liking to your cousin Nora.  You attack other babies - just always so curious.

The crazy thing about you, Evie, is that you are pretty go with the flow.  You love your sleep (you are napping right now at 10AM and normally will nap again around 1 or 2)...but you also can totally skip the nap..which is INSANE to me.  Transitioning so early!

We love you!
