This is how we roll...

Eating should be fun...

And just a little bit messy...

Did I over do it with the blueberry oatmeal?

I knew it.

I'm a mess.

So embarrassing...

10 months older and wiser too...

Happy 10 months sweet baby girl!

She started having an afternoon snack this month and string cheese is her favorite!

 She loves her best friend Eden so much and cries every time she has to go home.

When we say "Ta-dah" to her, she responds with a sweet sounding "dah!"

She loves to sing ("ahhhh") along with any music but especially the hymns at church.

On of our favorite moments this month was when Jeff and I heard Evie singing along with her Glo-worm in her car-seat (on pitch an everything!). So crazy!

She loves giving kisses, especially on noses.

When we ask her to kiss us, she does.

She still has the cutest belly laugh.

She still loves reading books and if we are busy, she is happy to sit and read the books by herself. Still turning the pages and everything by herself (she has been doing for 5 months now!)

And her favorite toy this month is definitely the bean bags Eden's mama made for her. 

They are the perfect size for her tiny hands and she loves the sound they make when she throws them on the ground.

 

 Oh Evie girl, where has this year gone!? 

Good thing we've made the most of every minute.

Thank you for making this year the best year ever.

You make this world better every day!

And now Evie knows...

where apples come from...

We went to Apple Hill festival and who knew that on the West coast when you go apple pickin' it's 90 degrees outside. We had fun but I must admit I was a little disappointed at not being able to dress Evie in her apple pickin' outfit. And it was way too warm to enjoy warm apple cider and doughnuts, so we just drank cold cider instead :)

p.s. - this is my attempt to actually blog about the things we do with Evie and not just how cute she is ;)

We get told all the time...

She's got character. And she certainly does...
