Fun Play Things

Its so nice to see the joy that some of the simple things in life bring to our little Evee. Here are pictures of her playing with a spoon, a pen and her favorite, a laundry basket and even the laundry itself. She just has such a fun time and she does still love her toys.

Our Big 8 Month Old

Our little girl is now an eight month old. She is growing and changing so much still. She is really into her babbling and even started to say some words. She can say Mum especially when I leave the room and she wants me to come back or when I give her to someone else. She never really says it when I ask her too, just when I'm needed. She also says Hi and can mimic yeah. The Hi she says when she is doing her newest talent of waving. The other day we were sitting on our couch and she just looked over at Tyler and waved at him. And did it for over 20 minutes. She also is trying hard to crawl but still has a little to learn. She rocks when sitting but falls in front of herself and them does a little army crawl, but it doesn't get her far. She is getting more determined everyday and willing to try more. She is also able to pull herself up to a stand on anything around a certain height. Here are some pictures I took of her mini photo shoot I took of her today. And Happy Valentine's Day from us and our little valentine.

Sick Days

We have been sick recently. It started with Tyler, then Eve and finally me. It is just a really big cold, but we took Eve to the dr because hers was starting to settle in her chest. She had a mild sinus infection and the medicine knocked her out more than the cold.


We also ordered Eve a new car seat for when she graduates out of her infant carrier. It is a Britax Marathon and we got a good deal by getting it in a girly design. We haven't installed it yet, but have been sitting her in it in our dining room. She looks almost swallowed up by it but still cute.

Young Farmers and Ranchers

Recently we have been on the road conference hopping. The first was to a Kansas Ag Research conference that Tyler went to. Me and Eve spent time at the hotel doing a little swimming and shopping. Then we had to go on to another town and another confernce. This time to a Farm Bureau Conference for young farmers and ranchers. We had a good time and got to see some people we knew and meet new ones. Here is a picture of our little farmer in her overalls. I wish the pictures would have turned out better because it was so cute in the overalls. The bottom is a picture of her playing in her peapod that we took and she slept in in the hotel. It worked well but she was happy to be back in her bed.

Our little Pebbles

I have been trying to figure out different things that I can do with Eve's hair. I had to give it a little cut in the front so that it wouldn't be over her eyes. Our neighbor Caitlin brought over for Eve a package of little baby scrunchies so we could try to put it back. It took a lot of trying to get her to stay still, but she was able to have a little ponytail, Pebbles Flintstone style. It is growing on us and it really keeps her hair out of her face and in her way. In the pictures you may have to look close, but can see her two little teeth on the bottom and lots of drool. Lastly I put a video of her and Caitlin playing. Caitlin hides behind the glass door and jumps around and Eve finds it utterly histerical. I love little baby laughs and she at times in the video is just busting up. Enjoy!

Please Check This Out

Thanks to my friend Jenny, I have discovered a blog of an amazing Christian family that could really use our prayers. I will give you a little of their back story, but you can read all about them on their blog. The couple's name is Nate and Tricia and she suffers from Cystic Fibrosis. She was preparing for a double lung transplant when they found out she was pregnant. They decided against doctor's requests to keep the baby. As her health diminished she was forced to have the baby at 24 weeks, which was about a week ago. They both have been in critical condition, but both are progressing. I have been so touched by reading their blog and offering them up in prayer. I hope that you will do the same. Here's the link http://cfhusband.blogspot.com/ Thanks
