Yes yes, I am behind. Let's move on shall we? ;) Evie is 15 (+) months, and the summer is flying by!! We've been very busy with swim lessons, playdates, parties, and mini trips.
Evie finished up her swim lessons at East Aurora Community Pool this month, and I think overall they were a success. :) We learned that Evie has a great "superman float" as her teacher Miss Bree called it- that means floating on your belly. Evie is very comfortable in the pool which is good, and she really enjoyed all of the songs we sang for our lessons. The only thing she isn't fond of is floating on her back, when I'd try to hold her there she would put her legs straight up in the air everytime! :) I think we'll definitely do it again next summer.
Eric and I had two weddings this past month, so Evie spent some extra time hanging out with Nana and Grandpa, and she had her first overnight away from us!! She did very well, taking just under an hour to settle down to sleep, then going straight through the night- woo hoo!! Sorry for all of the exclamation points, I'm just pretty excited. ;) She's not away from us (or mostly me) that much, so it's good for her to spend the night with my parents occasionally. We're planning it again this coming weekend since it's mine and Eric's 6th anniversary.
New skills: running, identifying body parts (teeth, eyes, nose, ears, belly, toes), fetching toys/objects when asked, helping mommy clean up our toys (woo hoo again!), following more verbal commands, starting to learn the hand motions to "Itsy Bitsy Spider" on her own, hugging her stuffed animals and dolls
New words: ball, dog
I'm low on photos this month due to some camera issues, so check out a couple videos from the last month with Miss Evie. The first is one of her new games- being a monster. ;) Her little growl is the cutest! The second is her shopping at the kid-sized Wegmans at the Strong Museum that we went to last week- it was so fun!!!
