Noisy Nelly!

Although it seems that Evie learns
a new trick every week, it still amazes me as to just how quickly (and constantly) she changes! It is hard to believe that 5 months ago, she was nothing more than a kickboxer in my belly and now she can roll over, smile, reach for toys, laugh and so much more! I love it! I do have to say she has one new "trick" that I am not enjoying quite as much as all the others: SHRIEKING! We are not talking the sweet "talking" or "cooing." I adore that! I could listen to her make those sounds and bubbles all day long. Nope, this is a high pitched squeal (of both anger and excitement) that Chad's Aunt Marlene jokes could break her glasses. Sometimes I am impressed that such a boisterous sound can come out of such a little peanut, but at the same time, it leaves me looking forward to a few months from now when she can make some darling sounds that are a few octaves lower! I am also impressed with the persistence in which she will make these sounds. I think we listened to them for a good hour and a half tonight and I can still hear the ringing in my ears even though she went to bed an hour ago!

Well, at least we know she has a future in choir and she will most definitely be a soprano!

Evie's First Training Camp!


Is it really football season already?! We just got home from Evie's first-ever Viking's Training Camp in Mankato! We were missing Dad and excited to catch our first glimpse of the 2009-2010 Minnesota Vikings, so we spent the day there! Dad took us on the field and Evie was so good, snoozing most of the time in her stroller. She got to meet a lot of dad's co-workers at camp and even was a little sweetie pie while Coach Childress held her for awhile. Now, we are just crossing our fingers we can take Evie to Miami in February to watch the Vikings win the Superbowl! Skol Vikings!
