What we do during the day...

Just downloaded the 2048 pics off my phone (yep, I'm serious).  Here are a few!

Likes to lay her face next to things that are cool (like her mama!)

A new-found love, suckers!

Playing with a flashlight.  Stuff in drawers and cabinets is always better than toys.

Our future house if ours sells

EB turns over my stool and calls it a "choo-choo"

At the doctor for 15-month checkup.  Weighed around 23 pounds.  Still 90-something-th percentile for height!

Caught.  Playing with mommy's makeup under the table!

Eating a donut that Pop brought.  Now when I say "donut," EB says "Pop," ha!

Learning to use a fork

Feeling yucky from a little fever.  EB cut her 12th tooth just a few days afterwards.

At Newks

At Old Navy

Waiting to see Santa!!!

Don't you just love it?! Santa still brought Eva Brooke some presents!

Playing with mommy's "Me-Baby" doll

Doing a little shopping at Mimi's market

Another favorite place to plunder- Daddy's colognes

The sweet lady at the Barnes and Noble Starbucks gave EB her very own cup of whipped cream and caramel.

Waiting while Mommy gets her hair cut

Not feeling so hot

Trying on Mommy's shoes after a little ibuprofen

Walked in and found her just like this

We love that Sunbeam bread!

On Christmas morning

EXHAUSTED on Christmas night!

Playing with her Christmas toys

Laughing like Mimi, hahaha!

Playing with the awesome Elmo that Daddy Don gave EB

My very talented girl!

Very interested in her babies these days

EB at work!  Happy New Year, everyone!

November 2011

11/1- EB loves to play in her bed.  Here she is trying to put on her own PJs.  Also, with her are two more of her favorite things- her pillow and Elmo.

11/2- Playtime!

Hunter and Emily both love the "Frankie" phone that Summer and family gave to Eva Brooke.  It has really been a hit toy!

Emily was busy cooking up something yummy for all of us to eat.

"Sharing" is a new concept for Eva Brooke... We're still working on that one.

11/3- Before EB was ever thought about, Pop won this personalized stool off a radio contest.  (Yes, that's random.  My parents are unusally lucky people!)  EB really likes to play on it, but we have had to put it away lately because we've had a couple of close calls.

She still likes to carry around things that are too big for her.  We have also put some of her toys in her closet, and she loves it.  She crawls "inside" to get out of diaper changes, going to bed, etc.

The rocking horse was a gift from Santa last year.  EB is just becoming more interested, and she can now get on the horse by herself.

She still loves music!

11/4

11/5- EB's first (real) hayride at Barn Creek

She wasn't scared at all, even though it went a little faster than I expected!

Eva Brooke and Mimi

My cousins Sawyer, Canyon, and Natalie

We decided to get one more use out of the watermelon costume.

EB is a big fan of a "ucker" these days.  When you say the word, she smiles and giggles, and you just have to let her have one!

11/11- My early birthday celebration

In my assortment of candles, we do not have a nine.  Andrew improvised.  Thanks, honey :-)

It's been a wonderful 29 years...but I'm gonna hold right there!

11/13- EB's serious face, which reminds me of Andrew.

And the sweet happy face!

11/20- We have put our house up for sale.  We started out trying to sell FSBO, but then accidentally found another house we liked :-)  After the sellers of the house accepted our offer (thank you, poor economy!), we listed our house with a realtor.  We have had a few lookers for our house, but no luck yet (blah, poor economy!).  That's just how it goes, I guess!

For Sale!

We have put our house on the market!  Wow, this has all happened so fast.  We are under contract on a house in town, and need to sell ours ASAP!  (PS - Tell your friends! :-) ) We are very excited and have been keeping our eyes open for some time.  It is very bittersweet because we love our house and neighbors so much!!

Happy Halloween!

Eva Brooke, our sweet little watermelon

We went to our church's trunk-or-treat on Halloween night.  Eva Brooke really seemed to have a fun time.  I thought she might get scared, but she really didn't... except for Mr. Ronnie and his terribly scary mask!

EB helping Daddy pass out candy.

Angie and her sweet little lion, Hunter

Sitting for a picture with Mr. Chuck.

Now for the side view!

Eva Brooke with Grayson (dinosaur) and Mary Robbins (poodle).

With Emily as a beautiful mermaid.

Love these precious babies!

With Caroline as a bumble bee.

We gave EB her first sucker, and she liked that!

Hope everyone had as much fun and ate as much candy as we did!  What "sweet" memories!
