Taking a Big Girl Nap

...with legs crossed and her paci. Silly girl!

Christmas Craft Fun

We've been having fun doing some holiday crafts. Starting at the top...

We made cinnamon scented play dough. The Cheerios on the spaghetti is an idea I got off of Pinterest. (I'm currently addicted to pinterest!)

Then, we made a Fridge Tree out of wrapping paper so she could decorate a tree using magnets. A big hit!

Last, we made salt dough ornaments. This went alot better than last year. Mainly because she didn't eat the dough!

Merry Chistmas and Happy Crafting!

Half a Year

Mmmmm...I'm six months old today!

"I Do It Myself!"

I call this picture "independence". Yes, Evie is at that lovely stage where she wants to do everything herself. Even if it means putting one bow in the middle of her forehead and the other above her piggy tail. And even if it's something she doesn't know how to do or some 10 second task that takes her 10 minutes, such as buckle her carseat. I try to remind myself that she is learning and to be patient. We're getting there...slowly but surely. And we're having a great time!

Santa 2011

We went to see Santa Saturday morning. I looked to see what time it started and we were there on the dot! Only one family was ahead of us so there was no wait. Evie didn't get scared and Mavery didn't spit up on Santa. Over all, a peaceful experience. Ho Ho Ho!
