The Destroyer

Evelyn has a new favorite game: knocking down block towers...

She also had her 9 month checkup this week. She is now 20lbs 11.5oz and 28.5 inches long.
Evelyn also has her first set of ear infections :( She gets both pro- and antibiotics: gotta kill those bad bacteria, but put back in some good ones to keep the tummy happy!

Other than that, we are enjoying our first week of spring break, and trying to get out and enjoy the beautiful weather!

Pulling up

Peek a boo! Here comes Evelyn...

Quick safety check: you have to clear these tricky corners...

And she's up!

Woo Hoo!

9 months old

Wow, 9 months!!

It was kind of a rough photo shoot. 

As you can see, Evelyn is definitely mobile. Check this out:

Yes, that is a dog bone. It was the first thing she crawled to get. Other favorite targets include the drill case, the camera, and the fireplace. Toys? Mom and Dad? Not so much. 

Here's another new trick...

She's only managed to do this once on her own, so far. We'll keep you posted on our little mover :)

Yoga with Evelyn

Evelyn attended yoga class regularly while in utero. Who knew she had picked up so much??

Here's cobra:

Pigeon: 

Triangle: 

And finally, a nice little leg stretch:

She's clearly a natural. Mommy is so proud :)

Namaste!

Puff Master

Evelyn is now enjoying... finger foods! After a few weeks of offering her a few puffs each day, it finally clicked that she could pick them up, get them into her mouth, and "chew."

She continues to enjoy Gerber puffs (occasionally), but mostly gets plain puffed wheat cereal and mom's baked sweet potato fries.

Jax is enjoying whatever Evelyn drops onto the floor or falls off her lap when she gets out of her high chair :)

(Almost) On the Move

As previously mentioned, Evelyn is quite interested in the idea of crawling. She's getting closer and closer each day, but still can't quite figure out how to move forward...

8 Months!

 Look who's 8 months old! 

Evelyn is modeling a "summery outfit that likely won't fit by actual summer," a.k.a. a perfect outfit for an indoor photo shoot :) 

In the past couple weeks, Evelyn got her first big fever (103-yikes!)--but thankfully it was just an icky cold. She is also trying to figure out how to become mobile, but this crawling thing is proving to be quite a challenge. That's probably a good thing, since her parents have done zero baby-proofing.
