Evie-isms

Evelyn has been doing a lot of funny things lately.  I can't help but share some of them.

1) We took her to play at the splash pad in Thanksgiving Point.  When playing she would go

into the water play for a second then run back and smile at Josh and I.  She probably did this 15 times.  Just checking in :)

2) When something is hard to open she makes this funny growling talking noise.  

3) We are learning how to share.  Tonight I asked her to take one of her fruit snacks and give it to dad.  She grabbed one and walked over to him then quickly put it in her mouth.  When I told her again to give it to dad she slowly took the half chewed fruit snack and handed it to him.  She is learning so much :)  

4) She loves to dip anything an everything in ketchup.  Most of the time she likes to just dip her fingers in it and lick it off.  

5) Today at Costco Josh and I split frozen yogurt.  We offered E some but she only wanted to eat grapes.  What kid wants grapes over ice cream!

6) She has to follow me everywhere. 

7) She doesn't like to go to bed.  She knows when it is time because she starts to cry.  The funny thing about this is she doesn't really fight it.  She grabs her blanket and cries as she walks (on her own) to her room.  I can't help but laugh at her.  

8) She has to have a small army of toys in her crib with her.  As soon as she wakes up we have to take all the toys out of the crib.  One time Josh forgot to grab her blanket when he got her up and she started crying so hard.  As soon as he went and got it the tears stopped instantly.  

9) She wants to climb on EVERYTHING but still has no sense of gravity.  

10)  She is very patient with other kids.  She usually is very calm and happy to play.  

11) Whenever we go to a park or to Thanksgiving Point she knows and starts screaming with excitement in the car.  As soon as you let her out of the car she starts running toward the fun. 

12) She knows how to turn on the radio on our alarm clock.  Any chance she gets, usually when I'm getting ready, she runs into our room to turn it on.  She now knows how to climb on our bed as well. 

13) She rarely cries when she is done sleeping.  She starts talking and playing with her toys.  I usually hear her babbling in her bed and go in to get her.   

14) She loves to have you point to things.  If there is a book or a picture she will grab your finger and guide you over the pages. 

15) She will come in the house, take her shoes off and put them in the basket without being asked :)

16) She can follow simple instructions. 

Love that face!
