Blog slackin'

Unbelievable its been two months since we've posted.  We even got flack from James' mom about it - that's saying something since she's not a computer person.

Let's see....Evelyn is a little piggy - loves her some homemade food such 

as peas, pears (her fav), millet, barley, plums, lamb, turkey, asparagus (can you believe that?), broccoli, cauliflower.  I can't think of anything she's turned away yet.  

The most exciting news is that she is crawling now.  We love seeing her move around the house and she loves doing it.   She can also pull herself up to standing in her crib and on our dresser.  She also has four teeth, two up and two down, all very widely spaced - a la Sponge Bob.  A few fun pictures for your enjoyment!

A week of firsts

As we said, she's starting some people food.  She loves her high chair (thanks Periagos!), was okay with brown rice (gagged a couple of times) and loves the peas.  Here she is eating her first official bite of people 

food (we won't count the bit of sweet potato Danielle snuck in last week).

E's also had her very first tub bath since her new found ability to sit up (but not without mommy to catch her if needed).  The faucet sort of freaked her out but she loved splashing and playing with her toys.  

Our beautiful girl - 6 months old

E turns 6 months old tomorrow (Friday the 5th) and we're ready to start some big girl food.  Danielle was actually dancing around the kitchen singing a made-up song about solid food in her excitement while making it up.  And no, we've not turned into hippies but we (read Danielle) are making her food from scratch.  The high chair is ready and the dogs are excited.  This week's food d'jour: brown rice.  Next week: sweet peas.  We'll keep you updated. 

Sitting up

They sure grow fast - only 5 1/2 months and she's sitting up almost totally without help. Amazing....and here's proof:

Evelyn: 0-5 months

July update

Cara and Jay, she's finally able to fit into this.  Thanks for her first haute couture!  

Striking a pose:

These tennis shoes were gifts from Erin & Rob - she acted liked she wanted to dance in them.  They're a little big right now but super cute!

She's really liking the jumparoo too, especially when the dogs come around.

Don't cry for us Indianapolis...the truth is we are finally leaving you

Adios! Sayonara! Auf Wiedersehen! Au revoir! See ya!

It's official, Danielle has finished her residency program (she's now officially a pediatric dentist) we're finally out of Indianapolis. No offense to those that call Indy home (particularly all those at Riley Hospital that Danielle speaks so highly of) - but we just like our city better! Its been a long two years and we're looking forward to normal life that doesn't include burning up the asphalt on I-65, $600+ per month on gas and one that allows us time to hang out with our family and friends more. Louisville (actually Crestwood) we're back!
