20 Whole Months

Oh my, its nearly 10PM and I am just now getting to this blog for my dearest little Evie Bee.  I promise it wasn't a forgetful problem, but rather a "there is just not enough hours in the day" problem.  Goodness it seems like our life is so chaotic lately with the looming move, uncertainty surrounding that move, having sick kiddos with double ear infections and the regular ins and outs of our daily life.  Couple that with the fact that Bob has been traveling and there you have it, a recipe for it being 10PM and I am just now getting to this.  Sweet Evie, how I love you!

Evie can be summed up pretty quickly in one word these days....toddler.  She is full into the wonderful, magical toddlerific place.  I love it.  Most of the time.  She is so curious and into everything.  She loves to read books and especially loves to eat markers.  Her little self wants to do anything and everything her Big Sister does and she finds it SO frustrating when she either can't keep up or falls.  My girls are so close to being in that really fun place where they truly can play together.

Evie is so strong, much like Lily which leads to more than our fair share of power struggles and screaming matches in our house.  Its going to be interesting to see how we navigate the female hormones in our house.  The 3 of us girls are all mighty with opinions to match.  Thank Goodness Bob is such a chill guy, he sometimes really is the calm in the storm.

Speaking of Bob, he is still the light in little Evie's life.  She just adores him and looks for him everywhere.  Her favorite thing right now is to get dressed and get her hair done then run to her Daddy and hear him tell her that she looks like a princess.  She seriously will run to the bathroom, pull her hair and then the second it is done run to him for approval.  It is so important to her and he LOVES to do it.  Such a great Daddy.

The little lady is SO independent.  She doesn't want help eating, she doesn't want to hold your hand across the street, No she wants to be in charge of her own destiny.  She LOVES the word NO and has absolutely mastered its usage.  Its cute except when its not.  Man, I love to see her grow.

Evie is so full of life right now.  She practically lives in her squeaky shoes and loves the attention she gets everywhere she goes.  She's joyful, curious, mischievous and such a love bug.

Sure it's late, but its only because I've been going all day with this bundle of fun and her sister.  

Happy 20 Months Bee! Your Daddy and I love you so much.  Every day with you is so precious and such a gift.  Keep exploring life and finding all sorts of trouble to get into.  Big squishy "uggs" and "tisses."
