Little Lovebug


Eve is dressed up as a ladybug for Halloween. The feet say love bug on them. It is so cute; and nice and warm. We took her to Grandma Kim's work, a school, today. She got to see a bunch of kids. I don't know if we will do anything else but we will see.



Pretty much every day Eve and I watch Ellen together and her favorite part, since she was ity bity, is the dancing. Today she was dancing along with me and it was so cute!! We got her to dance some more. So here is the cute dancing ladybug.

Cabin Fever


We have had a little bit of cabin fever lately. Eve doesn't like going a few days without going out of the house. Today she was going crazy!! Part of the problem is that she is growing out of her baby toys and we need to get her new ones. We are working on that. Other than that she is just a social girl.

Today she tried out the treadmill, tried getting out the stroller, breaking out the window, and fixing things around the house. She is ready to go out of her mind, and so am I. It is just too cold to go outside and if we go out too much during the day it just messes with nap time. So for now hopefully she can enjoy the new toys we bought her and look forward to nicer weather... and more time on the treadmill.

The Great Pumpkin Eater


Tonight we carved pumpkins. It was loads of fun... Eve enjoyed eating the pumpkin slime. It was hilarious; she just kept on shoving it in her mouth!!!

Enjoying the Cold


I am sure that all parents decide to take their 10 month old children out in the snow for the first time when it is 24 degrees outside. Ian decided he wanted to do it yesterday; we decided that just her winter coat wasn't enough.
So today grandma came home with a snowsuit... it came with a coat too... so we put on her mismatched winter gear... her little pink boots, her funky hat, and her fancy mittens and took her right out the door to go sledding. Okay Ian took her to do that. I was designated camera man.


Eve didn't really know what to think about it. Once Ian sent her down by herself. She did pretty well until she fell down face first. She didn't even cry. She just seemed surprised. All this fun probably lasted 10 minutes. She was getting a little red in the face so Ian brought her inside.

Cheese Face


So for the past week or so Eve has developed this goofy grin. She does it all of the time and I haven't been able to get it on camera. Today was the day!!! The one eye toothy smile... gotta love it.

Play Time!!


Yesterday Eve was very busy at playtime. She talked on the phone, took piggy for a walk in the stroller, and had a fashion show for her beads. By the end of the day she was exhausted; and who can blame her?

What's in my cup?

Eve thinks that open cups are awesome; they are way better than sippy cups. Occasionally I give her one. The other day when I gave her one with a little bit of water in it she dumped the water out and then put all of her lunch inside the cup.

Now when she is wandering around with a snack she will find my water glass and deposit her treasures in my cup. So I have had to learn to inspect my cup before drinking from it. No one likes cracker water.

Good video of Eve walking across the living room without deciding crawling was a faster way to get to the camera.

Nice Necklace



So today Eve totally cracked me up!!! She is obsessed with necklaces; and her necklace is currently lost in the basement which means to her it is gone forever!! I didn't even think about it until I showered today.

I take her in the bathroom so I can shower (which happens some days when other things keep me busy during nap time). I put the trash up and out of reach, make sure that the toilet lid is closed so that she doesn't get potty arm and leave the two drawers open that she likes to play with (even when I bring toys in the bathroom she doesn't like to play with them).

As I am showering I peek out to see what trouble my little tornado is getting into (how much clean up will be required after I get out of the shower). Well I saw she was playing with my clothes. I thought well that will be the easiest clean up ever!!! Then I peek out again and she has put my underwear around her neck; a nice replacement necklace!!! I was laughing so hard!! Then she has to come check on me to see why I am laughing and laugh along with me. It was so funny!! So here is a picture of Eve with her small mess in the bathroom today because she found herself a new necklace.

Loving Daddy


The other day when Ian came home Eve was so excited to see him. She wanted to play and give him kisses. It was so cute!! She currently is in the habit of giving kisses with tongue. This makes getting love from her a messy business.

She is turning into such a girly girl. You see in this picture she is wearing her beads... she wears them all of the time; and loves them. She also is enjoying everyone's purses. She loves to drag them around. It is funny to watch.

Eve's New Quilt


I have been working on this quilt off and on for a while now. It is finally done!! I love the little sheep on the quilt; and Eve loves anything that has red on it so we both win. It feels good to finish a project.

Loving Animals


Today Eve was having a blast with the animals. She was petting the dog... and trying to do the same to the cat; the dog is much more patient than the cat.

She was busy walking too. She decided to take a bunch more steps; she is feeling more confident. She walked across the room. She does really well when she doesn't concentrate on what she is doing. I can't believe how fast she is moving from just taking a few steps and then walking a lot more.

Eve Walking



It is harder than it seems to capture Eve walking. We missed a bunch of good ones but we did catch a few steps here. Hope you enjoy.
