11 Months!

Probably due in part to Evie walking all the time, she started sleeping through the night! Since I had started working nights and she was getting older, we really needed her to start sleeping all night. She started eating much more during the day and her tummy troubles seemed to have totally resolved so we really felt she didn’t need to be waking up eating anymore. We even started giving her gluten foods without any problems! She clearly wasn’t needing the food and just started sleeping on her own all night! She did it the first time for Daddy but then regularly started doing it!
We were also now seeing a new pediatrician (who we are so thankful for! He loves Jesus and prayed with us the first time we met him!) and he has kept a close eye on Evie’s hemoglobin (an indicator of anemia) and overall growth. Evie has always been on the small side but she’s slowly and steadily going up on the growth chart! She is very, very, active so she never has time to gain a lot of weight, but she eats great and is developmentally doing wonderfully so the pediatrician isn’t at all worried that she’s a little small.
This month we also took Evie to one of our special places in TN for a mini-vacation just us three! We enjoyed taking Evie to "Santa's Land" an amusement park Jonathan loved, relaxing, some time in the pool, playing on the playground, playing in the creek…and of course for Evie…picking up rocks! Evie is a child who has never wanted for anything, she has many very neat toys...but her favorite activity is picking up rocks! While Granna and Papa were visiting Granna showed Evie how to pick up rocks and carry them in a bucket…so now, all she wants to do is pick up rocks! It’s great, cheap entertainment!

Hmm...what's so funny about this?

Haha..now that IS funny! It's playing peek-a-boo!

She definitely inherited Daddy's love of rides (and so far NOT Mommy's queasy belly with rides)

She's feeding a rock to the goats right now...

This was another trip to the zoo and of all the animals her favorite was the pot-bellied pig!
