Terrible Blogger Award

I've been a terrible blogger, for sadly, the past two years!  When I look at all the posts I did on Bobby; Evie's pale in comparison.  I guess it's what they say about having a second child, etc...

I'm going to try my best to play a little catch-up.  And, even though the holidays will soon be here, I'm going to do some recap posts from our 2011 holidays.  So, bear with me.  Or, not... I just want to make sure to have as much documented as possible.

Both kids are *kind of* playing together right now, so, let's see how much I can accomplish!

Evie is Eight Months Old

Evie turned Eight months old on July 29, 2012.

Weight:  18.3 lbs.

Clothes/Diaper: 9 months/Size 4

Sleeping Patterns:  Evie is still a great sleeper.  She sleeps at least 11 hours a night.  She's in bed between 6:30-7:00pm.  She is napping twice a day, with an occasional third nap.  

Eating Habits:  Evie has 4 bottles per day, and is eating solids 3 times per day.  She drinks between 7 1/2 to 8 oz. per feeding. She's doing great with finger foods, and puts everything in her mouth!

Milestones: Evie started crawling the day she turned eight months old.  She is making ma ma, da da, na na, and a few other consonants. She also claps, and does the motor-mouth sound (just like her brother!). She can also stand.

Places Evie loves:  Being held!  She is a lot more clingy than Bobby ever was at this age.  I am sometimes amazed at the things I can accomplish while holding her!  She loves playing with Bobby, walks in her stroller, and sitting in her highchair eating snacks.  She's not a fan of the exersaucer so much anymore.  She does not like to be confined.  Probably a good thing... we can put it up in the attic!

Special Friends:  Big Brother Bobby, Reid Woodham, and Parker Wade.

Current Events:  London 2012 Summer Olympics, Romney/Obama campaigning in full-swing, school starts.

What We Did this Day:  Ran errands.

Here's Bobby at eight months:

And, here's his eight month update.
