Evie's Ponytails

Well, we're back and badder than ever!! As you can tell with all of our Evie posts, we really adore our child!
Here she is with her ponytails--a relatively new phenomenon. She looks like a big girl in them, I think! We took these last Thursday, after she helped me teach "Crocodile Rock" and her hair is a little mussed from dancing and jumping into a large parachute. She got a green crocodile stamp on her belly, which she is showing off here.

Uh, and here, too. I think she went half the day lifting her shirt and patting her belly. Do any of your kids do this? :)



Almost naptime...

Evie & Addie




Addie is our seven-year-old next-door neighbor, and one of Evelyn's enduring pals. A friendship made in heaven: Addie likes to feed and dress up Evie, and Evie likes eating and getting dressed up! Here are some recent pics of the pair...
Evie is always looking adoringly at Addie just like this!



















...We made flower "crowns" for the girls to wear.
