This is why babies shouldn't dress themselves...

Evie thinks everything is a hat or a necklace!


But she is cute wearing a real necklace:

Nappin' Evie

Evie had her first slumber party with Nana and Grandpa on friday and she did really good for them. On Saturday she took a 45 minute nap in the morning and then she slept for just under 3 hours in the afternoon and still managed to sleep all night. Here she is Friday afternoon with her pigtails and a huge grin (notice you can see both toofs in the picture as well:
After getting sleeping beauty to wake up we went to Raisin Rack, one of two places (the other is Whole Foods) that carries Vegan cheese that is dairy-free. There is a lot of 'lactose-free' cheese and products out there that have milk in them so we have to go with the vegan stuff. We then went to Jack Fay's 3rd birthday party and played and charmed everyone there until gift time, when Evie proceeded to steal Jack's new clothes and toys. Here is the little thief:
Sunday she took another 45 minute nap in the morning and a 3 hour nap in the afternoon so no idea what is up with that but I got a lot done while she slept! We also went to Big Boy for lunch and the park and on a walk around our neighborhood because it was so nice out.

This weekend also marked Evie's first time getting her own kid's meals at a restaurant--she ate the entire thing PLUS some of Nana's food Friday night and did a decent job with her lunch on Sunday. She also said something that sounded a lot like pizza at Jack's party (that was the dinner we had there so I think she was really saying pizza like everyone else was).

Otherwise, Max and I went to Dayton to see Chess on Friday. We had dinner beforehand with Irene, Jeremy and Alaina and it was nice to hang with them in Tipp City:) The show was decent, but it was community theater and so some parts were better than others. The only really bad part was the trumpet player. I think the poor girl only hit 2-3 correct notes the entire night! No idea how much experience she had but it sounded like NONE! As a former music major on a brass instrument it was really appalling.

Max has the uber-sick so he is really struggling to hang in there while I try not to get it again!

Nana's Birthday

Evie sported a new look for Nana's birthday: two pigtails (one is a little fallen over here but still adorable)!

Here she is with Nana--Happy Birthday Nana! I love you!

Cute!

At daycare on Friday, they did Evie's hair in an up-do...which we repeated Saturday!

Evie in her new raincoat--so adorable!

Evie is Sick:(

Evie has her first real yucky nasty illness (more than a bad cold and cough). She has her first ever ear infection which has also turned in to pink eye. I noticed her eye was all crusty and gross yesterday when she woke up but she wasn't running a fever and her eye was not red...so she went to school and I panicked and called the doctor and took her in. Good thing I did!

Her left ear is infected which caused her to get pink eye in her right eye (a little all over the place but oh well). She is on antibiotic and we caught everything really early so she should be good. She was so cute for the doctor and then I brought her to work for a few minutes to show her off and she charmed everyone here too. She was in her pout/quiet mode and looked adorable.

She weighed in at exactly 20 pounds (with clothes and shoes on) and is 29 inches long!
