Evelyn is almost 10 months and has grown so much it's difficult to believe. Lately she's showing herself to be quite the animal lover. We still are without a dog, but Evelyn goes crazy each time she sees one. Heather and I took her to the dog park yesterday and let her meet some nice pups. She pumps her arms and legs and makes a guttural sound that is almost exclusively used when encountering animals. She also does this when we visit with the bunnies that frequent our back yard/alley/parkinglot. Yesterday we discovered that she also gets excited when we treat a realistic stuffed animal like a real animal. I picked up a stuffed puppy and petted it like a real puppy, and she went crazy. We tried it again at bedtime with a stuffed piggy (thanks, aunt Vicky!) and she loved it also. Fun fun!
It's a very exciting time....
