November 2, 2011 - Where did 6 months go?

I can't believe it's been a month and a half since I blogged about our little trio and the diva Evelina!  Honestly, six months flew by and now here we are with our 7 month old who is sitting on her own, tipping back a sippy cup and eating some new variety of foods (including scrambled eggs this morning!!).  I really don't even know where to start commenting as this little princess seems to leave us in amazement every minute we spend with her.  She is always smiling and laughing plus lately she is ready to explore anything she can get her hands on!  It really leaves both Mommy and Daddy wishing life had a remote that we could just pause and savor what little moments we feel like we have left with her as a baby!

For exciting news in the last month, Evelina got a whole week with her Nana in October who flew in from Iowa for some spoiling!  By the time she left, Eve was shaking her head "no" and squealing louder than I have ever heard her while in her giggling fits.  The two of them together were so cute and we were really sad to see her go!   But Nana and Papa will be back for Christmas so we are already counting down the days!

Evelina also had her first Halloween and 7 month birthday on the same day!  She officially closer to one year old now :(  But she did enjoy the holiday all suited up in her monkey costume.  We really thought she was going to hate us for zipping her up in that big, fluffy brown suit but her face literally lit up with smiles instead!  She was such a ham for the camera showing off her big monkey feet and enormous monkey ears!  Ahhhh definitely one of those moments we will never forget. 




October also brought a new "first" for our little cookie......her "first snow".  I really thought Mike was joking when we woke up on my birthday (October 29th) and he opened the curtains and said "lets get some pictures of Eve with the snow on the ground"!  He was right!  There was definitely a few inches on the ground and the pictures of him holding her with the big flakes blowing around her was priceless!  She seemed more in shock with the temperature change than with the white flakes of snow blowing in front of her!

Hopefully I can do a better job of blogging monthly about the advacements of our little nut and where her adventures are taking her!  Not only is it helping me with her baby book but I know it is helping our friends and family at home keep up with her too!  Next month I hope I am blogging about some teeth and our little crawler.......we will see!!
