11 months

11 months old! My baby is 11 months old! Evelyn is such a funny, lively little girl that keeps us laughing constantly. She is full of personality!

Some of the things that she loves:

-Pua the Pig from Moana

-reading books

-Mickey Mouse Clubhouse

-the swimming pool

-rolling a ball with someone

-food (all kinds!)

-music (she's a dancing queen!)

-swinging

-feeding the ducks at our pond

-the elephants at the zoo

-her big sister

She now has three teeth, although the 4th is trying to make its appearance. Bless her heart, she's been pretty miserable with teething lately. 

She's starting to sleep a little better now. She still fusses a little once a night, but if she's not crying a lot, we know she'll go right back to sleep.

She's wearing size 4 diapers and most of her clothing is 18-24 months. 

She went to the doctor the other day because she was running a fever (teething) and she weighed 23 pounds.

Evelyn is such a ham and keeps us laughing constantly. She is very observant and loves to touch everything she sees. She is at such a fun age, but I can't believe my baby will be 1 next month! This was for sure the fastest year of my life! We sure love our baby sis!

Addison started the summer reading program at the library. Her favorite books right now are Junie B. Jones.

I love this picture! Addison sat with this gorilla for about 20 minutes and she showed him pictures of our family on my phone. He was so amazed and engaged. Each time she would start to put the phone away, he would point to it like he wanted to see more. It was amazing!

We love afternoons at the creek!

Addison loved making jockeys for the during Derby week out of our left over Easter eggs.

And of course we had to make a Derby hat!

Addison also tithed her own money for the first time this month. I love this picture because she was so excited to take the money she had worked for and give it back to God. She even put a bow on the money and skipped all the way into church while telling everyone that it was the first day ever she was going to tithe.
