Evelyn is Amazing!

So I haven't posted in a long time... Evelyn is now 6 months and 2 weeks old. Can you believe it?

This little child is the most amazing thing in my life. I can't imagine anything in life being more gratifying and exciting than being a mother.  At first I was so scared of raising a baby and being a good mom, but Evelyn is such an amazing and good baby that she makes it fairly easy!

I spend most of my days alone with Evelyn because I work from home. I spend my day doing my work and taking time to play with and take care of Evelyn! It's tough at times because all I want to do is play with her, but for now I have to keep my job! Thank goodness Evelyn is so good and can entertain herself if she needs to! :)

Evelyn is growing and changing so much every day! Some milestones that have been reached til this point:

- Two bottom teeth (July 2011)
- Two top teeth (September 2011)
- Flipping from Back to tummy
- Flipping from tummy to back
- Rolling
- Playing with toys
- "Talking" (ma ma, ba ba, da da and whatever else comes out of her mouth)
- Responding to me (when she says 'Ah' and I say it back, she says it back again (so cute!)
- Gurgling
- Smiling and Laughing
- Getting excited when she sees the dog
- Recognizng people she knows
- Eating 'solids' (rice, oatmeal, bananas, apples and today we're going to try pears!)

She loves her baths and sleeps through the night. She hardly ever cries and loves to play. I could not ask for a better kid. I am so blessed <3

Here's a recent picture of my little angel!
