Oh man it's been a long time....
Apologies to all for not writing anything for so long. we'll try and do better in the future..
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....

Evelyn Cracking up today
Heather was making faces, directing her eyes all around the room. Evelyn loved it!

Sleepy Baby Video
We wanted to keep Evelyn awake so perhaps she'd sleep well for the drive from Missoula to Great Falls. Cruel, I suppose.
It looks better if you watch it on youtube...

lately
Evelyn is doing great- she's holding herself up in a sitting position like it's nothing. She enjoys sticking her tongue out and blowing(thereby creating perhaps the cutest sound in the world). She has been experimenting with different kinds of food and so far likes everything; rice cereal, barley cereal, sweet potatoes, peas, carrots, squash, prunes and more to come! She loves going for walks in the park. This summer promises to be a great one..

Some Easter Pics
Here are some pictures we took on or around Easter:
Daffodils are in bloom. An older lady stopped us and said "two of my favorite things; Daffodils in bloom and daddies with their babies..."
Family shot on Easter

Evelyn and Ian wishing each other a Happy Easter.
Playing with her new ball. The ball that promptly popped later this day. neat picture, though.

Rice Cereal!!
Wanted to share some pictures of Evelyn's first time eating rice cereal! She loved it! Lovely seeing those of you we got to see on our visit! Thanks for making our quick trip such a meaningful one. Sunday, April 17, 2011
Playing
Here's Evelyn reaching for her Chinese tiger, playing with the octopus that I made, and knocking her blocks to the floor.

train trip
So we made it back on Amtrak from Oregon, where we spent a long weekend with our dear friends, Anne and Amit. Was a splendid trip, and Evelyn continues to amaze us with her wonderfulness. 17+ hours on the train to get there and the return trip turned out taking even longer because our train ran into a pickup. Evelyn got to see the ocean near Florence and shrieked with delight as she ran across the sand in the sling with Heather. We came across Evelyn's name carved into the rock and couldn't believe it-- we were convinced that Anne and Amit had been there before and done it... Enjoyed hanging out in Eugene; the Saturday market, some used kids' stuff stores, fondue made by Anne and Amit, REI, the Hideaway bakery, some truly wonderful time in Anne and Amit's apartment, and many more great moments.
Evelyn is more active each day- rolling this way and that. She seems immensely pleased with herself and her surroundings. She really seems to take everything in as she gazes around and reaches for whatever is near. Recently she has taken a huge liking to her feet. It's so neat to watch her grow and see her develop into a lovely little person. She is so great!

pictures from today
She's pretty sweet! After she rolled over on the 18th, she was motivated to switch it up and on the 19th, she rolled from her belly to her back! Needless to say, we're thrilled.

Four Months!
Evelyn decided to make her four month birthday a day full of milestones! She rolled over from her back to her tummy for the first time (after a lot of hard work!) yesterday afternoon. It was quite exciting for both heather and I (and our friend Kelly-- who is due to bring another friend for Evelyn any day now!) were beyond ourselves with excitement and pride in our little butternut. She also demonstrated a definite increase in coordination with thumbsucking yesterday. Previously it had been a lot of fingers jammed all cattywampus into her mouth. And last night Heather put her in the crib without having her swaddled and she slept that way for 3-4 hours! She'd been sleeping wrapped up like a burrito- like she needed to have her arms immobilized in order to relax enough to sleep.
It was a big day for her.
she's doing great. we're going to attend a powwow later today. and then perhaps she'll help me get some of my sub plans ready for next week.

Evelyn Laughing
3 and 1/2 months of loveliness. Heather first heard the giggle last week while blowing raspberries into the belly.

rolling over
Evelyn's working hard to roll onto her side. she's done it quite a few times, and really seems partial to roll to the right. Pretty darn exciting! She's certainly captured our hearts....
