To begin with, I hope everybody had a great Christmas! We did! We spent the weekend in Mesa, and got to see my parents and siblings, and some cousins, aunts, and uncles that I haven't seen in a long time! And, they hadn't seen Evlyn! So, it was a lot of fun! These first pictures are of Evlyn in her little Huggies onesie. Huggies sent her 2, and I had fun taking pics of her. :)
haha love the little logo on the butt! She could be their spokes' baby, right?
This next picture is from our walk this morning. She was just sucking her thumb and having a grand ol' time!
For Christmas, we were definitely spoiled! My parents gave me a camera, case, memory card, some kitchen things I had asked for, and a family game! Paige gave us a cool calendar with puzzles and me some pretty eyeshadow. Aimee gave us a cool menu planner and Evlyn a cute little dress. Here are 2 of the things Jared's parents got us. I had to take pictures so ppl would believe me. You know how much I like peanut butter, right? Well, I do. I finally counted and discovered that I eat 18 oz. all by myself easily in a month. Typical jars are 16 oz. (1 lb.) And, that was without baking it or giving any away. :) So, I was especially excited when we opened this...
80 oz!!! Plus, this is my FAVORITE peanut butter, which they don't sell in AZ!! I was so sad I even wrote the company! We got addicted in Idaho, only to discover they don't have it here. So, now we have 80 oz! That will take me about 4.5 months to go through. However, if you take Jared into account, we'll probably finish it in about 2.5 to 3 months. :) I'm glad my hubby enjoys peanut butter too! The next gift they gave us was fun too! I really like dates!
56 oz! That might take me a little longer to go through! haha.
Here's Evlyn opening a gift from my parents. (we had to help her!)
And, here's our new little family on Christmas day! Evlyn was a little tired or something lol.
This one's not very good of us, but it's better of Evlyn. Well, at least she doesn't have her pacifier!
These next 2 pictures were sooo cute!! Evlyn fell asleep and Jared put her next to her cousin, Landon, who was sleeping. I got Jared hair clippers, which he desperately needed, a shaving oil that is supposed to be good for your skin, a UV light that disinfects things, and a family picture so he can have one on his desk at work. I was so happy he liked everything! He spoiled me! He made me 2 CDs, and got a deluxe hotel stay for our anniversary next week! He even took off work for that day! And, he got me a Bath and Body Works lotion that smells really good, and 2 pairs of earrings. And, this was probably the first year that both of our gifts were a surprise! haha For some reason, it seems like one or both find out at least one of our gifts. :P
The pictures are dark b/c I didn't want to wake them up with a flash. Here's Evlyn sleeping on Paige. She was one tired little girl!
haha Evlyn liked this cornucopia and tried to eat it.
Now, we are back at home and Evlyn is getting better and better at crawling! I took a video of it, but on my sister's camera lol. So, I'll post it when I get it. But, she's started to pull herself up and try walking. So, Last night Jared tried to help her along a little. Here's a video! She's so strong at 7.5 months! I think she'll be walking by 9 or 10 months!
Cute, right? Here are some pics of her standing with the help of a box. :)
And, like the title says, Evlyn has 2 teeth now! The second poked through yesterday. I realized that this is exactly ,to the day, 1 month from her first tooth's appearance! Crazy, right?
How exciting! It sounds like you all had a great holiday! I love the family picture of you guys, you all look great! I love Evlyn's little dress, so cute! The video of her walking is impressive! She's got talent for sure!
