Grown up baby

Evangeline is trying to be a grown up. This makes us a little bit sad, but it is fun to watch. She can stand without holding on to anything for about 5-7 seconds and is trying to take a step. She spends a lot of time falling on her bottom. Walking around the room with Daddy is a lot of fun for Evie, but less fun for Daddy's back.





She has also attempted counting and walking at the same time. We've been learning "1-2-3" in English and Arabic.


Before Evie-Pie was born, Pa did a nice paint job on Daddy's old rocking chair and he and Ma brought it down from Eden for Evie. She's finally big enough to sit in it and read a book . . . or at least look at a book and pretend to be reading (hmm, her mother's child :-))




Ma and Pa came down to see Evie a coupld of weekends ago. It was a lot of fun although evie was not feeling her best and was a bit grumpy. We are hoping that there might finally be a tooth in those gums. But to be honest, we've been thinking that since she was 3 months old so we're not holding our breath.

As anyone who has met Evie knows, she is quite the chatter box. Her latest words are "banana" and "Papa". We are expecting her to say "shopping" any time now as it is her favourite activity, after eating of course. There are still no foods that Evie won't eat :-) Last Sunday she enjoyed roast chicken with the rest of us for Sunday dinner and she has moved onto whole milk because, let's face it, formula is vile.

Since we can't think of anything amusing to say, that will have to be it for now!
