11 Months

Wow.  She's almost one.  How did she go from this:

To this?

In just 11 short months???

Can't be. lieve. it.  We all love her so much!  I'm not going to lie, she's totally my favorite sometimes.  A lot of times.  :)

11-Month Happenings:

• Thanks to her daddy, she has tried (and loves) french fries and root beer.
• She has surpassed 12-month size clothes and has moved onto 18-month size clothes.  I'm almost to the point where I don't even have to put away Ally's clothes to store them.  They almost can go directly to Evelyn.  Crazy how fast she's growing!
• She's insanely squirmy.  Changing diapers and putting clothes on her has become quite the challenge.  
• She can take pull herself from sitting to standing without holding on to anything.  And can take about 3-4 steps at a time.  She gets really excited about it and ends up trying to run (and falls).  But she's super proud of herself and tries walking all over the place even though she's still pretty wobbly.  
• She has got the cutest grin ever.  It can melt your heart in a second...just ask Kyle, he knows.  :)
• She has a ton of hair.  I really need to trim her bangs or something because she won't keep a headband in and she just pulls ponytails out and eats the rubberbands.  Who knew ponytails could be hazardous? 
• She is still very much a Momma's girl.  Although she does have a soft spot in her heart for her daddy.  She gets so excited when he walks through the door and crawls right up to him, climbs up his leg and begs for him to pick her up.  It's pretty stinkin' cute.  She also really loves her Uncle Daniel.  When we're at my parents' house where they are living right now, if I'm busy, she finds Uncle Daniel who always picks her up and spoils her.
• Her favorite snacks are graham crackers and shredded cheese.
• I stopped breastfeeding her this month.  It was kind of sad since she's my last baby and is clearly growing up, but it was time.  I was only nursing her at night anyway and she just wasn't too interested anymore.  Can't wait until she can drink regular milk, formula is too expensive!

That's about it.  We're all smitten with her.  Love you Evelyn Grace!
