Another month has gone by- and now 2012 is on it's way out too! Time is flying by, and Evie is making every day a joy. :) She's 20 months old today- I can't believe she'll be 2 years old in just 4 months!! When I was pregnant with Evie, about 10 of my friends were all pregnant too. We all had babies within 6 months of each other, and this month the first of this round of babies turned two. Now over the next few months they'll all be two and we officially won't have "babies" anymore. It's a little sad to think about, but it's so fun watching them all grow up together!

We had a very busy month full of lots of activities, including a lots of playdates, a trip to the Science Museum, a cookie exchange, this years first snow, a couple new baby friends, and more. Evie is such a good girl, she's really growing up and becoming a toddler. She has been behaving so much better at meetings lately- the past couple weeks we've been making it through most meetings without having to get up!! She loves to go to the Kingdom Hall to see her friends Emma, Henry, Lisette, Lauren, and Katie. During the meeting, she colors, looks at books, and her favorite busy activity is stickers. Her favorite part of the meeting is when we sing songs- she stands and holds her song book just like Mom and Dad and pretends to sing- it is the cutest thing you've ever seen! She also loves to sit with Aunt Allison and Uncle Matt, or Nana and Grandpa- she always sits so nice for them.

At home, Evie loves to play with her babies still. She sings to them all the time, wrapping them up in blankets and rocking them. She sings and hums a lot now, which makes me happy. :) She also loves to dances, and spin and run in circles all the time! She still loves reading books- she never gets sick of Dr. Suess!! Evie's getting more physical in her play lately- she wants to run and jump on us and be tickled and roll around on the bed now.
She still loves "shows", including Doc McStuffins, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Fresh Beat Band, and Super Why. She also is OBSESSED with Finding Nemo lately, so she asks for that a lot.

Evie said Grandpa ("Gam-papa"!!) for the first time this month, and it was the sweetest thing ever. :) She loves to spend time with my dad, both at the Kingdom Hall, and when we visit their house. She takes him by the finger and leads him around the house, and loves to snuggle in his big chair with him. Other new words include juice ("joo") and Mickey Mouse ("Mou Mou"). I can't remember if I've mentioned this before, but she's also been saying "cheese" for the camera for a couple months now on command- it's adorable. :)

We got a 2 week break from teething, and now we're working on the top canines- boo! But she's a trooper and we're getting through it- hoping for more snow in January so we can take Evie sledding!!
