Evelyn is in such a fun stage right now. I'm loving her imagination and all the new words shes learning! It's hard to keep up with all the words she can say so I need to keep my list updated!

Right now she knows:
More
Mama
Dada
Hi
Bye
Dog
Moo
Eyes
Nose
No
Bubbles
This/there

And she signs:
Please
Eat
Milk
Thank you
I love you!!!

Bringing her daycare bag around saying "bye!"

She is pretty good about following commands. She understands things like: sit down, bath time, time to eat, lets wash your hands, throw in the trash, time to go, lets read, etc i'm sure there are more that i don't know she knows!

She can point to her eyes, ears, teeth, nose, feet, socks, shoes (although she gets her eyes/ears mixed up!).

She can eat with a fork and spoon, altho scooping things like rice on a spoon is still hard for her.

Shes a sweet girl who loves to cuddle and give hugs. I'm hoping she doesn't go through a tantrum phase... but i'm sure its coming...

Update on Evelyn!

We just went to her 15 month appointment. Her height is 2ft 6.25 inches, so 36%. Her weight is 22lb 6oz, 65%. She's staying pretty much on her curve for weight and height which is good. i'm always afraid i'm overfeeding her because she loves to eat! but so far shes doing well.

Playing with her teapot

She has grown up so much in the past few weeks. She's so much fun these days. She's walking full time finally. This makes going out so much easier so we don't have a crawling baby on the floor of places anymore. She is also learning so much these days. She knows 7 words (hi bye mama dada dog more moo), plus 2 more in sign language (please and eat). I think she also knows a couple more (this, nose, yah) but not definite.

She also is developing an imagination! shes starting to talk to herself more and plays in her kitchen and shopping cart more. Shes more independent and will play by herself more these days. She loves going outside and playing in her sandbox and with bubbles!

She's eating well and is starting to use a fork and spoon! Shes pretty good at using a fork, she's able to pick up food and put it in her mouth. Shes working on the spoon. Not good at scooping but able to get the spoon to her mouth. I'm starting to use plates more which is nice for cleanup! I'm just afraid she'll dump it so I have to keep my eye on her.

Shes' growing up so fast! I love this stage and she's such a good toddler these days. I hope I don't eat those words later! :-P

Donut date!
