Swinging in the Park

She loves to swing at the park!

Birthday Toy from Nanna

I have so many cute videos to upload.. I am way behind and she is growing so fast and doing new things all the time! Here is a video if her playing with her new birthday toy from Nanna. Joel said she played with it a lot today. And she's actually playing with it right now as I type. There is so much to do on it.



I have videos of her playing her drum and xylophone, swinging in the park swing and laughing, turning a light switch on and off, pulling books off a shelf, and more.. I hope to upload them soon!

Playing With a New Toy

I have a long post all about her birthday party but I can't get it to post! It keeps giving me an error. So in the mean time here is a video!

Evaleigh Crawling

I am finally posting another video! I have a bunch of videos from the summer but just haven't posted them. This one is pretty up-to-date. I took it this morning. But while I was uploading my pictures she crawled again even better! And of course I didn't have my camera ready...

She started getting her first tooth yesterday! I thought I saw a little white dot on her bottom gums, and when I put my finger in her mouth I felt a little hard point!

She is (finger) feeding herself really well now. She likes to eat bananas and puffs. Last night I gave her some small cooked pieces of green beans, potatoes, carrots, and peas. She made a face but kept eating them anyway. It was too much fun for her not to!

I go back to school on Thursday. It's been a fun, eventful, relaxing summer. Can't believe it's over! I didn't do half the projects I wanted to... but I always plan too much. We made a trip to Mexico which was great- Evaleigh's first trip out of the country and first trip to a beach and pool!

I have been working on the embroidery class I am taking. I almost finished one of the dolls I have in my last post. I got another pattern for crochet but I don't think I even picked up a crochet hook all summer... We've been trying a lot of new recipes and eating healthier. I got this book from the library: Eat to Live, and we are going to try his meal plan. It's a really good book so far! But it's going to be harder to cook once school starts.. I know why so many people settle for fast processed food even though it's unhealthy.

Well, now it's time for her nap!

Summer projects!

I have a long list of projects I've started and never finished that I plan to work on this summer, but I am also starting some new ones...
I am going to sew some dolls for Evaleigh from Wee Wonderfuls:

I plan on buying some cute fabric and trim from Super Buzzy!

I also signed up for an online class about embroidery! Wild Olive's blog is where I found it.

Evaleigh Reading

Here is Evaleigh reading a book. When we read to her, she turns every page, when we start it for her. She loves books!
