Going for a walk! 

New words and cuteness

I sometimes wish I could create a running blog of everything new with Evelyn - it seems as though she is growing and exploring at lightening speed now!  Didn't I have these same sentiments when she was first born?  Every time she wakes up from a nap she has something new to say or explore!  She's so happy and has become a very social litle girl.  She will wave at new people, say bye (baaaa-ee) with a little "royal" wave, blow kisses to family and friends and her face immediately brightens to a smile when you catch her eye.

A list of new words:

1. p-iszah (we had "make your own" pizza night last night)
2. riz-bzzz (raisins - her favorite snack)
3. meh-mi, baby, mi-mi (every baby that we see, her dolly)
4. Mir-y (baby dolly now has a name - her name is Mary)
5. DOG-EE and pup-pup (distinguishes between Keya size dogs and bitty, bitty tiny dogs)
6. ga-sssses (daddy's glasses are fun to pull off)
7. This (there could be three things she wants - graham crackers, raisins or nuk and she will point to exactly which one she wants and say "this" as in "I want that in particular and will continue to ask for it until you give it to me... please?")

A list of cute things she does:

1. Rowr - roars like a tiger when she sees a picture of a tiger/lion/polar bear or other large furry creature
2. Carries her dolly around everywhere - rocks dolly in the rocking horse, feeds dolly, puts dolly to sleep, changes dolly's diaper
3. pulls her wagon of blocks around the house - round and round the table and to the kitchen and back; stopping at the stairs and taking a seat on the lowest step; stopping every so often to load and un-load new blocks
4. Sings and hums "twinkle, twinkle little star" and does the sign-language hand motions for the song
5. Loves chairs - she will sit on any chair she sees especially if it is her height.
