April 1-9

Over the last few weeks I've been gradually encouraging Evie to sleep in her own space, and she has finally graduated to sleeping in her crib. She is still in arms reach, but this step toward independence feels like a small victory for all 3 of us. She seems to really like her crib and scoots around the perimeter all night.




Easter Sunday was an eventful day for Evie. We started by getting her all dolled up in a spring dress given to her by Great-Grandma Roberts. The weather was beautiful and I got a couple of good shots of her with Erik in front of our building. After a trip to the park, she rolled over from her back to her belly for the first time. It wasn't pretty or smooth, but she managed to get all the way over and pull her bottom arm out. After exerting herself to complete the maneuver, she promptly urrped. After recovering from her roll over, she full-out laughed for the first time. Initially she only laughed as a response to me laughing. But later in the tub, she laughed when I squeezed her rubber duck under water.







I've been taking Evie to the park in the afternoons for some fresh air and a change of scenery. She is LOVING it! She enjoys watching all the people and giggles at anyone that sits next to us. Evie really draws people in and is quite the conversation starter.







Evie got to wear some of her summer clothes this week. It was unusually warm and even got up to 90 degrees on Tuesday.










Evie is teething. Nothing has poked through, but her top ridge is getting sharp. She is a drooling mess and chews on everything she can get her hands on.




Best of the rest.












Video of me making Evie giggle... not her best string of laughter, but you get the idea.
