M0553R Chronicles: September 2009

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.

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!
