Karina just turned 6 months old a few days ago and we've been letting her get some time in the Jumparoo. She loves to bounce, especially when she has an audience, and is starting to be more vocal every day!
The recent rains caused the little stream in our backyard to overflow its banks and it caused our backyard to be the perfect place for Evie to use her rain boots to splash in some puddles. Karina was very content to be strapped to Mom and observe the action!
"Evie, please turn around so I can take a picture."
"Now, sit still so I can get a little closer. No, don't get that book."
Evie is sporting a new dress from the Tea Collection (Thanks, Mimi!) and decided to get into some light reading with the 983 page 'The Pillars of the Earth'.
Sweet, sleepy baby photos. I know I'm biased but Karina is particularly adorable in these!
Evie loves to go out to eat at restaurants. Last weekend she shared a delicious dessert with Mama and Dada. This was a first because we usually don't like to push our luck and tend to head home once everyone is done with their lunch or dinner. Evie is a girl after my own heart. She was the last to put her spoon down and she made sure she got every last bit of the chocolate on the plate. She even went after the strawberry garnish. Then, she picked up the dessert menu and said we should order the other one now.
Karina just enjoyed smiling at all the people and seeing the sights!
Evie loves helping out; even helping the cat eat its food.
We had fun dressing the little ladies in heart attire for Valentine's Day. We even attended a little party in Evie's classroom at daycare! It was also the first year that we gave out cards to the other kids in the class and I was shocked at what the Valentine aisle in Target has become. In the age of Pinterest, I'm wondering what will become required of parents on holidays throughout the school years. This will definitely not be the last time I'm up a little late on February 13th, putting heart-shaped frosting on sugar cookies!
Evie is displaying the tendency to eschew clothing whenever possible and the results are pictures like this.
