TWO

How is it possible that my first born is 2 years old? Life sure does fly by! Evie has grown so much and learned so much in the past year.  I can just sit and watch her play and interact for hours. The things she says are just so precious! She is talking so well and picks up on EVERYTHING we say. She is incredibly lovable and sweet. She loves to give kisses and hugs and say I love you.

Evie is still a great eater! Her favorites are chicken nuggets, any fruit, green beans, corn, chips, apple sauce, apple juice, ham, cereal bars, and Popsicles(which she calls pockets). 

Evie is a great sleeper. She sleeps about 11 hours at night and takes a 2-3 hour nap most days. She is still sleeping in her crib, but we plan to move her to a big girl bed soon. Wish us luck when we make that transition!:) 

Evie loves books. Every night before bed we have to read at least 4 books before she will go to sleep. She is OBSESSED with Mickey Mouse and loves her baby dolls. She is always doing things with her babies that she sees us do with Harrison. She changes their diapers, nurses them (which is so funny to watch), feeds them a bottle and carries them in their car seat. Any time I am holding Harrison and rocking him she will grab her baby and do the same. It seriously is such a sweet moment. She loves to put her babies in the swing or bouncer when Harrison isn't in them. 

Evie knows all of her animal sounds and loves going to the zoo to see the animals.  She can count up to about 13 and can sing her ABC's. She loves music and will start singing songs randomly. Some of her favorites are Old MacDonald Had a Farm, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, Jesus Loves Me, and You are My Sunshine.
Evie is a great big sister. She loves her brother and is always entertaining him. She gives him constant hugs and kisses. I can't wait to watch them grow up together!

On Evie's actual birthday we picked her up from school and headed to Build A Bear. My mom (Gam) wanted to get that for her birthday. Evie picked out a puppy to build and really enjoyed doing this! After that we went out to an early dinner and then picked up Harrison from Grandma's house. We decided to let him stay there so we could spend some one-on-one time with her. :)

  Evie makes our world go round. She lights up any room she is in and can make you smile instantly. She has the sweetest personality and the most infectious laugh. 

Feeding her baby. :)

 God, thank you for this sweet, sweet blessing. I am one blessed mommy that this little girl is my daughter!
