Everly Love

 
 
Happy birthday to my beautiful baby girl. This spunky little whip of a thing is now a 1 year old. Her entrance into this crazy world was not so graceful. She had us so worried but this girl is strong.
She has brought us so much joy! She is so happy, always smiling and dancing and boy is she wild! She has been walking for a couple of months and now she runs everywhere, she doesn't ever sit still unless she is flipping through books. She loves to be a part of the action.
She is quite the character. If Nory is telling a us story Evers will look at us and start jibber jabbering louder then Nory. At dinner time she will look at us and shake her head no and then dump her food on the floor. She absolutely loves water. She will dunk her head into the water and not even worry about it. 
 
She loves to get Nora's underwear out of the laundry basket and try to put them on her head or she loops them on her arm and walks around the house with them
 
 
When she drinks from a bottle or a sippy cup she holds the bottle with one hand and puts her other hand on her cheek. She will switch hands back and forth but she has to have one hand on her cheek
 
 
She is already working on her artistic skills
 

 
She is so great! We feel so blessed to have this beautiful baby girl in our family. We love this cute girl so much. Happy Birthday Babylove!!!

Recap and Moving On: October

The crisp, golden air casually transitioned in, as the days of October slowly fell from the trees. Splashes of red and orange now litter the ground, crunching beneath the soles of my shoes. October was full of colors and breezes and candy.
 
 
 Books I read this month:
    *Macbeth by Shakespeare (Who doesn't love a story of strong, powerful women (Although I like my strong, powerful women of a less evil persuasion) and cautionary tales of the guilty.
 
This months tunes:
     * The song Stolen Dance by Milky Chance
     * The song Riptide by Vance Joy

Things Elanora has been up to:



 
     * She is obsessed  with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and she has never even seen the movies or cartoons.
     * Dancing (more or less) in her tumble/dance class.
     * Buckling herself in her car seat.
     * Working in her workbook. Writing her letters, counting objects and learning phonic sounds. She almost knows all of them.
     * Trick or Treating.
     *  Eating Trick or Treating candy.
 
 
Things Everly has been up to:
 
 
 

     * Walking all over the place.
     * Running all over the place.
     *Getting Nory's underwear out of the dirty clothes, looping it around her arm and walking around the house.
     *Kissing her glow worm doll.
