Happy birthday to me:)

Today I turn 31 - OMG that is old!!
Last year I found out we were going to have a baby (we actually found out during my 30th B-day party) and I thought that was the best day of my life. Well, I was slightly wrong because the best day of my life has been everyday since then. Each day I fall more in love with my little family and everyday is filled with joy and happiness. I know I sound way too happy - I make myself sick with my gushiness. I joke all the time that it is the Zoloft but it really is my adorable baby girl and wonderful husband.
Evie is doing great - she is such a happy baby. She only fusses when she is gassy or hungry- other than that she is smiling and giggling. Evie started using her walker this week and loves it- she is not strong enough to walk in it but she likes pushing off the floor, pushing her toys off the tray and having mommy push her around the house. Brian was able to illicit a real laugh from Evie this week - it was the greatest sound ever! She has been giggling for a while but that only consists of an intake of breath and a snort (just like mommy). I think we are going to start rice cereal in a week or two and I am very excited about that - I am sure it will be a whole new mess but I can't wait to see the look on Evie's face. I let her lick an apple, gave her a very small taste of pudding, and a fingertip of ketchup and she has loved the different flavors. Evie is doing great at Marissa and Carly's house for daycare. All I have to do is mention Marissa or Carly's name and Evie perks right up and smiles. I dropped her off this morning and she just smiled and cuddled into Marissa's chest. I am a bit jealous that Marissa gets to hold her, play with her and love her all day but I am so glad that I can go to work and not worry all day. I love knowing that my baby is having fun with Carly and is being cared for by another Mom.
Evie is going to spend her first night without us next weekend! She is going to spend the night with Grandma and Grandpa in Johnstown so we can go out for Halloween. I wasn't looking forward to leaving her for the longest time and I am deathly afraid of dealing with her on Sunday with a hang over but I am sure family will be over to see her in the Halloween costume we bought. We also figured out the perfect costumes for us, which makes the whole night much more fun. I will post pics of the whole fiasco.

  1. Hmmm.... you still have me wondering... what will you be for Halloweenie?? And don;t worry about dealing with a baby and having a hangover. Do you remember that "have to mode" talk we had? Luckily that just kicks right in!!
