Diaper Rash

So this post is really just so I remember when this happened. This evening Evelyn developed her first severe diaper rash. Poor thing was screaming when she went potty in her diaper. After lathering her up with cream, she is sleeping soundly. Lets hope she sleeps through the night and feels better in the morning. Diaper rash is no fun.

Lollipop

This summer Evelyn has tried all kinds of new things. Below Evelyn is enjoying a lollipop.

Breakfast

Lots of Teeth

Evelyn has been working on several new teeth the past couple of weeks. Below is an updated tooth diagram. I've added the three teeth that have surfaced. I can see two more just about to pop through.

Flying

This year we spent the 4th of July with Daniel's family and enjoyed the pool. Here is Evelyn flying in the pool.

4th Of July Cupcake

This is what 4th of July is all about...being with family, eating whatever you want, and getting a little messy.

Excited that mommy let me get so messy

18 Months

Wow! Evelyn was 18 months last week and I just can't believe it. She had her check-up yesterday and here are her stats:

Weight: 20 lbs (on the dot...can't believe it...she's finally 20lbs)
Height: 30 3/4 inches

Evelyn is doing some pretty amazing things lately. She loves bedtime and naptime. We ask her if she wants to go Night Night and she heads for the stairs. She loves going to sleep.

We have removed the gate from the stairs and most of the time Evelyn stays downstairs. She really likes the stairs and is coming down the stairs while holding an adults hand.

Water is her new favorite thing. We have a baby pool and a water table on our back patio. Evelyn loves to go out there in the afternoons and splash around. Mommy loves it too because she doesn't have to put suntan lotion on Evelyn. We have ventured to the community pool this year and Evelyn seems to love that too.

Evelyn has increased her vocabulary lately. Some of her favorite words are: Momma, Dadda, Ice, No, Ball, Up, Hi, Hello, Bye, Balloon, and Go.

She is understand more and more each day. Simple requests like asking her to bring something and she actually does it is so cool. But Evelyn is also pretty good at not doing something when asked and just smiling at you too! Haaaaa!

All in all being a mother of a toddler is amazing. It's rewarding to see our little girl grow and learn each day. Can't wait to see what is in store for us.

Below Evelyn decided to walk the dog today.
