Evelynn Growing Up

I guess I missed an 18 month update, but I hope this makes up for it (she's 20 months). Evelynn is a bit fearless, she loves to squeal and scream, she gets into everything, and lately, she has begun to tease Dylan. He's not good at taking it, so it only encourages her to tease him more. Her favorite thing is to take something of his and run. He reacts by crying and getting mad, and she just thinks it's the greatest game.

When she pulls her hair elastics out, her hair sticks out in all directions (sometimes we say that she's crazy...out of pure love). She also does not like it when you push her away, even if you are playing. It hurts her feelings and makes her sad (I'm guessing that's a girl thing because the boys have never reacted like that).

She loves to color and draw and paint and "help" me cook. She is very opinionated already. She usually picks out what she will wear for the day (usually by picking at least 3 shirts, and I pick one from among those), and she picks out her cereal every morning. She loves blowing kisses, her family, playing baby games, singing, dancing, praying, and swimming. Her vocabulary has grown from about 5 words to about 10. So she still communicates very well with nodding her head yes or saying no. Oh, and today, Rob found that she now has 6 teeth, and 6 more are coming in...but she can eat anything she wants to eat.

We just love our little Evelynn! I enjoy this stage so much. She's growing so fast and learning so much. She changes a little every day and just makes us laugh and love her more and more.
