Evalyn's 18 months old!

Here are some videos and pics of Evalyn, on and around her half birthday. Here, here, and here. 

She headed somewhere, even kissed me good bye.

She loves to read with Am-Ma.

Hello?

1 1/2 candles.... we take it day by day here.

All dressed up, even sticky earrings.

                   We are so blessed to have Evalyn. Many days, she is the only reason I have the will to get out of bed, eat, or do anything besides lay there. She is such a  joy to be around and is learning new words and new signs all the time. Today, she said "okra". We have been reading a lot of books and right now she really likes her Sesame Street letter books  that I got for 30 cents each. She is also really liking her dress-up clothes, shoes, and jewelry, but also enjoys an occational romp in the dirt while looking for acorns. She has finally started saying dada when he is around more and will go through a list of word lately in her crib: "MaMa, DaDa, Am-Ma (Grandma), and Nana. Our Nana has gone to heaven and we finally figured that she was saying banana. I guess she is really hungry in the morning. She is doing great with her fork and spoon and even ate cereal with milk this morning! She continues to bark a lot, but we are a dog family. I really think she communicates with them. She has some girl friends that she has been able to play with and one little boy that we know said he was not just going to give her a hug, but that he was going to give her a kiss! We went to '123 Jump' a couple of times and Evalyn seems to be getting the hang of it. Please continue to pray that she grows strong, smart, and stay's safe!
