Evangeline, you are now 13 months! I absolutely cannot believe it, sometimes I feel like your 30 months old. You can identify most of your body parts now (head, ears, eyes, nose, mouth, teeth, tongue, hands, feet, belly button) and you can do many of the sounds/sign language I made up of the animals we've taught you (lion, seal, cow, fish, bee). You love being outdoors, riding in the wagon, playing with a ball and a bat, and making new discoveries. You help with putting lotion on yourself after a bath and you help put things away after you make a mess (although you take it all out after you put it all away). Your favorite food is cheese. You can eat cheese anytime, anyplace, all the time. You clearly tell us what you like, don't like, want, and don't want. Sleep is still very important to you--you are still taking two naps a day and sleeping close to 12 hours at night. You are a very happy toddler, you make us smile everyday and we come home looking forward to seeing you. I miss you when I'm not with you and I wish time would slow down when we are together. I love you so much little one!!
You also have a very fun sense of humor. You think it's funny when we cover your face with a shirt or your binkie and you run into things. You laugh when poppa bear gets hurt (I guess we're going to have to teach you some empathy). You also get very silly when you're really tired--at that point, you think everything is funny. You are also very ticklish.
You had your very first Easter egg hunt at school today and you did so well. You immediately understood the concept and picked up as many eggs as your basket could hold. Although poppa bear was holding your basket, you knew to hand over your eggs so that he could put it in the basket and so that you could get more. I promise I will try to be better at updating the blog more regularly. In the meantime here are some pictures from the last few weeks.
You are so independent, you always want to do everything yourself:
We took a trip to West Palm Beach, Florida before your first birthday and it was so fun to see you discover the sand and the water. Although it wasn't your first time there, it was definitely a new experience for you:
You love being outdoors:
These are your first school photos. You obviously do not look very happy. I asked your teacher if you look like this all the time. She said no but she did say that you are on most days a serious baby. Lately, you have been very excited to go to school. We are grateful.
We put some bunny ears on you for fun and this is the face you gave us--always so expressive. Love it!!
