Pictures I Love

 

18 months

This cute little girl amazes us everyday. 

She says 18 letters and can say numbers up to 12. 

We hear her counting by herself all the time.

She also loves finding numbers on her number blocks and saying their names.

She loves reading books by herself.

Evangeline points to the words in the books and tells the story her way :)

She has moved on from three word sentences and can say four word sentences.

The sentences lately have been, "That is a frog" and "I dropped the milk."

Evangeline says other phrases like "I got it" "Here you go" "There you go" "Get set go"or "Ready set go" and she has been saying things are "cute" for over two months.
At 16 1/2 months I put on a new pair of boots and asked, "Evangeline, what do you think about my new boots? How do they look?" She simply responded by saying, "Soo cute!"

Evie loves firetrucks, all trucks, buses, and airplanes.
She makes sounds for all of them but the airplane is one of our favorites.
She moves her arms side to side ha ha!


We've loved hearing her say peoples names.
And she is very polite. She still says thank you and please.
Her bestie, Eden, sent her a Happy half Birthday note, so Evie wanted to tell her thank you.
And she loves her friends :)
Fishing trips with Dad have been a new favorite activity for her.
Evangeline LOVES being outside and exploring, so fishing is great fun for her.
She even goes shopping for new fishing stuff with Dada.
Everywhere we go she loves to help us shop.

At the grocery store she helps Mama fill the grocery bags and helps unload them when we get home.
Then she takes the grocery bags, puts them on her shoulder, goes to the door, and says, "Bye-bye!"




We love this girl!

City Girl in Charlottesville

Miss Evie Mae was able to go to Charlottesville when Dada was going to visit GPR programs.

And she LOVED the University of Virginia.

She followed Dada around everywhere...
or maybe I should say Dada followed her around everywhere.

She looked so tiny next to the old buildings and statues of Thomas Jefferson (father of UVA). 

I just couldn't get over it!

So I kept taking pictures of her next to everything without zooming in because I thought it looked too crazy to not document.

Dada was also nice enough to follow Evie as she climbed up all the stairs.

Evie + Dada = BFFs

Evie loving the walkways.

And the grass.

And the airplanes in the sky, which is why she's pointing up :)

And she really wanted to see what was behind each door.

But she was perfectly content to just walk down the brick path and exploring!

I still can't believe each door is a dorm room. 

And they are teeny tiny!

With no showers.

They have to go outside just to shower.

Very old fashioned.

And there was so much wonderful grass to play in.

They are in the process of changing the dome back to the original white color.

We thought the campus was very beautiful.

Evie especially loved the gardens behind each of the dorms.

But she was hard to snap shots of because she kept running away from Dada when he had the camera.

Another airplane.

She loves saying, "Airplane" 

and then moving from side to sides saying, "Shwooo Shwoo"

Still watching.

Don't mind me Dada.

Oh this girl.

She's just an explorer.

And such a nature lover.

She'd much rather go on a hike or walk outside than play on a playground.

After the University of Virginia, we went to Monticello.

Evie loved walking in the grass so much. There were so many pictures from Monticello that I can't post them all now. We took so many because Evangeline seriously loved walking around outside. 

What an adventure for her!

 

 

All Smiles

Evangeline has never made it easy on us to get pictures of her smiling.

Lately, we've been able to get some pretty cute ones :)

Thank goodness!

It's about time lil' Evie.
