From our front porch looking in...

Funny Girl!
Evie is 16 months old...

I just think she looks soooo big in the picture! She sure is growing and changing so fast!!!! She is going to be talking in full sentences soon! Mom and I wrote down all of the words she can say--some aren't that clearly spoken yet, but we know what she means and more importantly, so does she!

HERE ARE HER WORDS:
mama, dada, papa, lala, maggie, bye bye (which she says in the sweetest little southern twang), hey, nono (often directed at Maggie), cheese, duck (FAVORITE AND FIRST WORD), uh-oh, shoes, thank you, help (she also signs this one), nite nite (another twangy word), truck, tractor, juice, baba (for baby), nana, hot (everything is hot!), boo boo (she learned this after her shots last week), poo poo (she says it even when she doesn't have to go), Pooh (she points out Winnie the Pooh and has a Pooh chair she watches cartoons in), light, Bop (for the Doodle Bops-her favorite show), honk honk (she says this when she squeezes your nose), banana, whoa, sit, Dora, down, all done( she said that tonight for the first time when she was through with dinner--she usually just signs it), "bye mama" her first combo of words which she said February 20th...and my favorite, "I don't know" she says it with so much inflection, its hilarious!!!!

We were riding in the car the other day and she randomly said, "bye bye" so I asked her where she was going...just making conversation like I usually do...and she said "I don't know"---mom and I started cracking up!!!

She also started waving to people, not just her wrist wave, but a full out windshield wiper arm wave.

I was packing up some of her old clothes and she wanted to put on these red shoes that are just barely too small...and she wore all the hats I was packing up---what a character! The sun was bright in the car, so she wore Mia's sunglasses. The binky tops off the look, I think! And we HAD to stop by McDonald's and pick up a milk shake...Evie took Mia's and drank the whole thing during her wagon ride!

She loves playing outside and really enjoys PUSHING her car through the streets of our neighborhood! She doesn't want to ride in it. Good exercise, I guess and it wears her out!

Maybe she is going to be an actress on Broadway! Mom bought her these headbands and she wears them so well!!!
