Evelyn at 7 Months

- Squeals and giggles all day long.
- Evy is so tolerant of her brother.  Not sure why, but he thinks he can sit on her while she's crawling. And she is happy to let him.

- She can sit up on her own.  She does it so gracefully too.
- Evy's favorite chew toy: shoes.  I feel like I am constantly putting away shoes.  Otherwise, I find her chomping on them like a little puppy.  Soooooo gross!
- I'm the new beehive advisor and Evy is such a hit with the young women.  Luckily she doesn't have stranger wariness with them.

- Evy will crawl over to our sliding glass door to look outside.  She loves going outside to play.
- In between the 3 years old who throws his food on the floor and a little Evy who wants to eat everything, I am constantly sweeping the floor.  She's pretty good at her pincer grasp though!

- She thinks she is big enough to climb the stairs.  She hasn't gotten farther than the first step, but she keeps going over there to try.
- She's got a pretty good nap schedule, but I wish she would take a 3rd nap.  She's soooo ready for bed when it's bedtime.

- She loves to play with Nathan.  She follows him around and plays with his toys.
- We've tried oats, wheat, chicken, turkey, beef, yams, butternut squash, carrots, but her absolute favorite is yams.
- Evy never used to spit up, but now that we've started solids she's started to.

- Evy loves to see herself in the mirror.
- Her hair is getting so long and it's covering all the bald spots now.
- Since Evy is doing so well with sitting up I've started to let her take baths with her brother.  Nathan thinks its great and Evy is so happy to splash her brother and play with all the bath toys.

- Even though she is driving me a little crazy getting into everything, I do love having her crawl over to see me and give me a huge smile.  She's seriously the cutest little baby.
