Lungs!

We caught Evelyn on camera tonight showcasing her vocal abilities. She also showed off her new talent of giving raspberries. Here she is, and yes that is me laughing like a hyena. I was lying next to her and I could not help myself. She is just too funny!

Rolling , rolling, rolling...

It's been difficult to get Evelyn to roll over. She doesn't show much interest in it even though she spends lots of time on the floor. She did roll over from her tummy to her back a few months ago, but she was so surprised that she cried! She hasn't tried to roll over since then. She does arch her back and look at things upside down--she's almost on her side and ready to go over, but she never follows through.

I just happened to be recording her scooting and caught her rolling over accidentally. Thankfully she didn't cry this time, although she did look a bit surprised!

Jump Around!

When Evelyn goes to Grandma & Grandpa's house, there is a special treat - the chance to jump and play! When we first put Evelyn in this play saucer, her toes barely touched the bottom. Once she could plant her feet, it didn't take long to figure out how to jump.

Oh, wait. Evelyn wants to type something:

Well said, Evelyn. Well said.

Just a couple more...

Tiny feet...

My sister, Ann, recently forwarded these photos of Evelyn. They were taken back in August when she was just barely a month old. Ann's boyfriend, James, has a high quality camera with a special lens that allows you to take close ups of small things (like Evelyn at that time!) It's neat to look back at how tiny she was. She still likes to curl her toes like she is in the third photo, but is doing it much less now that she's a little older.

Brush Brush!

After bath time tonight, we played with Daddy's birthday present from Mommy - a new Flip camera!

Here is Evelyn playing with her brush. We are pretty sure she knows what the brush is for. What do you think?

Evelyn with the giggles!

Hey, do you have that silly camera out again? Happy Evelyn!

She's tall enough to reach the crossbars on her play gym while sitting up. Sooner or later she'll be getting the snap undone and the whole thing will collapse! Baby doll, Evelyn & Sammy

It's interesting to see what will make Evelyn giggle. Sometimes you can play peek-a-boo or make one of her stuffed animals dance & sing. Other times it's just a silly noise that we make. Tonight I made an "achoo!" sound and she broke out in a fit of giggles! She is even more easily amused than I can be at times! She is especially giggly right before bedtime--something she has in common with her Mommy and Auntie Ann!
