End of September/October/November pictures

Eva is 7 months old today!!! On her sixth month birthday she got her first tooth and the second officially popped through two days ago. She loves lovers her walker and can completely maneuver around the even the narrowest hallway forward, backward and side to side. She goes where ever she wants. The baby proofing has begun!!

Last night we went to the festival of trees and Eva met Santa Clause. And as the tradition goes, she screamed her head off. Adorable. It's so fun having a little one to watch during the holidays. Times are so special. Here's the latest pictures from the past few months. (I uploaded the pictures at two different times so they go from latest to oldest and then are in no particular order. )

The bike powers the tree behind Jammie and Eva.

Still very unsure of that big hairy man, even with Mom right there.

"GET ME OUT OF HERE!!!"

"okay, if you guys don't come get me, I'm gonna loose it..."

Crashed out waiting for the National City Santa on Main to light.

Daddy is changing her... so silly.

My favorite picture. That look!

Drinking from her new sippy cup.

We had to buy this outfit. I can't tell you how many times people stop us and ask "is she ALWAYS this happy??" well.....

She sucks food out of this thing. We both love it. And wearin' Daddy's hat

I have no idea whose hat this is?

On her sixth month B-Day. Very cranky with a spot of tooth.

Happy droolin' baby!!

Just days before the big tooth popped!!!

First day in her walker. (end of September)

Bath time with Grandma-ma!!

Looking at gardening catalogs with Dad after work.

The only day it's been cold enough to wear a jacket was in early October.

Starting to climb. Oh no!!

Stone's Trace

Today we went to the Stone's Trace Festival in Ligonier. For those who don't know, Stone's Trace is like the Johnny Appleseed Festival in Fort Wayne, only smaller. Both my mom and Jammie's mom came as well. We all had a GREAT time. The highlight (for all of us, I think) was Eva in her little Indian costume that Jammie and I (but mostly Jammie) put together the past week. We were very proud of our little Indian princess (Sowayacuta is her Indian name). We had to post these cute pics right away!!! Enjoy!!




And a couple of new bath time pictures thrown in for fun.......

Sorry, I should have rotated these.

Can you tell that she loves to have her ears washed?

And a few from the Jefferson Pointe concert on Friday night. Eva hamming it up and dancin' with Grandma Marczak.

New Eva

I can hardly believe that Eva will be 5 months old this Sunday. Already she's accomplished so much and it seems that she learns so many new things everyday.This is certainly the joy of being a parent- watching a baby discover the world around her. Eva loves to have books read to her and loves to lay on the floor and play with toys that make crinkly sounds and play music. She started eating cereal (and eats it with enthusiasm!) and enjoys chewing on her feet in between meals. She hates it when we even attempt to lay her down preferring to either sit or have someone hold her up to stand. Oh the drool!! Bibs are a requirement now as she is drooling and chewing on EVERYTHING she can put into her mouth. I swear that everyday a new sound or tone comes out of her mouth. It's really amazing!!!! I expected new adventures in development but it's really incredible to watch your own baby grown and learn, as I'm sure all of you parents already know. Here are some recent pictures taken within the past month or so. I'm trying to get better at taking more pictures. Eva doesn't like her picture taken and stares at me blankly when I try so it's difficult to capture her sometimes. She is a morning baby so most of the pictures are in her pj's. Oh well. I'll post more as I take them!! Enjoy!
