April 2011 (part 2)

The Easter bunny was "sick" just like Evia and Violet were, so Evia had to hunt for eggs on Monday night.  She thought it was great fun.  I have video to post later.  The girls will be wearing the pretty Easter dresses my mother made next Sunday.

Evia loves the bubbles and sidewalk chalk grandma Rachelle sent her.

She sat in the sidewalk chalk and it amused me.

This is how most pictures of Evia turn out.  Slightly blurry since she is in constant motion.  She likes to hold the skirt on her dresses and twirl in a circle.  That is normally fine, but this particular dress overlaps in the back.  She did this move at church and flashed her bible class.

Evia is not ready for Violet to stand and walk.  I caught her in mid-push.

A sweeter moment.  Evia does share toys with Violet and they both enjoy playing with the doll house.  "playing" for Violet means chewing on the furniture and bashing it on the hearth.  Evia is very calmly brushing the doll's hair in a rare still moment..

April 2011 (so far)

Evia is 8 months old.  She is crawling, standing, and tries to take steps while holding onto the couch.  She is very active but has a pretty mellow personality.

Evia loves her baby sister.  She is very sweet with her most of the time and it's really cute to watch them play together.  Here they are in Evia's tent/castle/fort (depends on what she's playing at the time).

Evia loves to watch us cook and will "cook" food in her doll house kitchen.  Here she is checking on her enchiladas.  Notice the use of mommy's winter glove as an oven mitt.  Don't worry.  The oven wasn't on.  This is just pretend.

More park pictures.  Evia is in constant motion.  The neighborhood park is great for burning energy.  I love the picture because she always has to run down the hill a few times before we leave.  She really gets into it.

March 2011

Modeling her new helmet.  She loves the helmet but still hasn't mastered riding her bike.

It's almost impossible to get Evia to keep her bows in.  She will ask to wear one and them promptly remove it.

Happy Violet!  She is such an easy going baby.  The total opposite of Evia.

Evia is out little tomboy.  She loves to run, play outside, jump off things, and just generally be a little monkey.  She comes home from school totally filthy.  I love her energy and wish I had as much.

Evia's Got the Joy!

Evia kept singing while I was trying to brush her teeth.  I said she could sing for the camera if she would just let me finish with her teeth.  She is a total cheese for the camera.

Look Who's Crawling!

Violet has started crawling.  She has been working on a clumsy crawls for the past week.  She now crawls everywhere and I've put the fences up in the living room to keep her contained.

Hey Evia! Stand by your sister and smile so I can get a picture.  No? OK then just be a complete ham and I'll still take your picture.

Someone looks just like daddy!
