Flight of the Ladybug
Here's a sneak peek of the recent bug infestation at our house. We are hoping it will clear up by Halloween night, as well as deliver us a lot of candy.
Evie and Helen
Evie and I spent an afternoon recently with my good friend Helen. Evie showed off some of the skills she learned while being a work baby at my office.
She can answer phones.
She can type very well and very fast.
In fact, she can answer phones and type at the same time--multi-tasking!
With a resume like that, who wouldn't want to hire her?

A Visit from Grammy
In mid-September, we had a special visit from Tim's mom, known affectionately as Grammy to everyone else in outer-internet-space. Her visit was extra-special because she came right when I was still broken in the foot and Evie started to speed up her mobility skills.
They read books together. One of Evie's favorite things to do is to read books. She likes looking at the pictures, hearing you talk about the story, and will help you turn the pages.
The took walks together (it was a bit chilly for a few days while Grammy was here).
She started to cruise while Grammy was here, too. Here, she shows off how she can walk along the couch.
Evie gives pointers to her mommy on how to walk properly. That huge thing is a boot on my broken foot.
My, how she has grown! That little play mat used to be her favorite all-time toy, and now she has outgrown it by leaps and bounds. Grammy, we had a great time, please visit again soon!

Ocean City Weekend
We had a mini-family vacation in the middle of August when my BFFs (best friends forever) Angie and Beckie came to the Philly/New Jersey area. It was Evie's first time meeting my girlfriends, and Angie's girls. Fun fun fun!
Angie came over with Emma (2 y.o. peanut pie) and Ellie (at the time 8 month old munchkin). Ellie and Evie side by side. Neither of them were really crawling at the time. Isn't Ellie adorable?!
These next pics crack me up. Everyone is sitting around reading Evie's favorite book.
Evie looks back as if to say "Who are they and why are they playing with my stuff?"
"Again, who is she and why is she hogging my sippy cup?"
Evie practices assertiveness. They ended up playing and sharing nicely.
The next day, in Ocean City.
Me and my BFFs: me, Angie, her Emma, and Beckie on the boardwalk in Ocean City, NJ.
On the beach! Evie loved the waves rolling in, and would wave her hands at the water.
However she was not very excited about the cool Atlantic waters rolling up on her feet.
My favorite picture of the summer.
She liked being up in Tim's arms, with her feet out of the water.
Happy Day at the beach!

What We Did on Our Summer Vacation...
Well, for us, summer has just ended. Really. We had a high of 80 degrees today (it's mid-October!)...so summer for us is still lingering around but the leaves are finally starting to change colors and make their beautiful descent to the ground. For us to rake and bag. *sigh*
Meanwhile, after you have finished looking around at the leaves on your ground, look at these pics of what we did over our summer. by the way, our computer was fixed by the marvelous Sean, our new official Mac Repair Man! Three Cheers for Sean!
Bathtime has gotten an upgrade this summer--now she is in the big girl seat.
At the beginning of the summer, she was not crawling, but trying very hard (she's wearing a headband that looks like it is eating her head)
By Labor Day, she had taken her first crawling step. Within two days, she was moving around the house.
...and had developed a love relationship with Smokey's things, even his food.
Another cute bath picture.
Nap times are getting harder since she learned to stand up on her own.
Which means exploration and fun for her!
"Look ma, one hand!"
These last four pics of a recent Daddy Day, when Evie and Tim hung out. The weather had cooled a little, so she had on a sweatshirt and little hat as they were getting ready to go out.
She is also very talkative--lots of babby babble, we are waiting to hear her first words. Maybe it will be "Smokey, stop it!"
Yes, she is usually this happy and smiling this much!
She's our little pocket of sunshine! We had a wonderful summer.
