Happy Thanksgiving!
We have SO SO much to be thankful for this year and had a wonderful time celebrating with the Joe Birds and the Danahers.
We've done lots of work on the house lately. That combined with a festive start of the holiday season really is making our house seem like a home. There's finally a light at the end of the tunnel. Thank you, God for all we've been given this year--good and bad. It's truly been amazing.
Also, Jon cooked the best turkey I've every had in my life. Seriously--it was insanely delicious. Go JB! I had no idea a dairy-free Thanksgiving could be so good. Yum.

9 Months!
I know it's not really a milestone, but for some reason, Evie hitting 9 months makes her birthday seem like it's just around the corner? How is that possible?!
Anyway, since I've been stinking at blogging lately, here the latest of that lovely little munchkin.
She now has two teeth, climbs on everything, waves at everyone, cries when she sees me if I'm not holding her, finally sleeps for 8+ hour stretches at night, loves giving kisses (I love it when Fiona asks for a kiss!) and in general is absolutely delicious and delightful. She also finally learned how clap. Not sure why it took so long, but I think she just figured it out yesterday, and is pretty excited about her new trick. She also continues to be very serious--especially for strangers (and the camera). The fact that she loves waving at them so much makes her stare-down that much funnier.
Oh, and this is her other favorite expression. Accompanied by, "ooo, ooo, ooo, oooo."

Just because.
It was gorgeous out the other day, for the first time in months, and we got to walk down to our neighborhood park and play without having to worry about 3rd degree burns.
Evie also go her first ride on a swing...which she LOVED. See, she smiles!
This day also made me really appreciate how close in age these two are and our new diggs. For as much work as there still is to do, this makes it all worth it.

Look, Momma!
A caterpillar!
The imagination on this one never ceases to amaze me. It also reminds me to be very thankful for her dad.
True story as we were driving the other day:
F: What's that?
Me: A gas station.
F: A gas station for the car?
Me: Yes.
F: What's a gas station?
Me: That. (Complete Mom FAIL.)
Jon: !!! A gas station is (fill in the blank of what a gas station really is.)
Sometimes I forget to remember in the midst of 10 million questions a day that her inquisitive little mind just likes to know things--and can actually process so much! Thanks, Jon, for picking up the slack when I myself am a slacker.

Seven Months!
So these are almost a month old already, and the six month pictures may be lost for good. But it's nice to see some reward for being a slacker and leaving these on the camera for far too long.
I can't believe this little chunker is growing up so fast. I love watching her try to keep up with her big sister--and let me tell you, she does a darn good job...at least enough to annoy Fiona :)

Up and running...
The computer AND Evie! Check her out!
She got her first tooth over the weekend too! Crazy that it took Fiona more than four months longer. And SO happy to know there was a reason for the past week of crankiness.
And this is just too delicious to not post:
