14 months and counting...

As you can imagine, raising a child and working full time is not easy and does not give you a lot of free time. Hence my not updating this blog in 8 months (haha!)

Evelyn is now 14.5 months old. She is as amazing as ever!

Here are a couple milestones:

-First word: da-da (of course!)
-Began crawling around 8 or 9 months
-Began standing shortly after crawling
-First steps (May 9, 2011) 6 days before her 1st Birthday!

Evelyn now walks (runs) around the house! There is no stopping her! She says the following words: ma-ma, da-da, baba (grandma), dzia-dzia (grandpa), Go-ga (my sister, Gosia), Molly (our dog), me, baby, yes (ssss)... I'm sure there are others I am forgetting but these are the ones she says most often. She is also a very happy baby. She still sleeps through the night (9pm - 8:30 a.m. ish) and she's learning toeat different foods every day.  We cut out formula at about 11 months and now she's strictly on whole milk (organic). She also drinks juice, water and iced tea (which she LOVES).

Evelyn also has just about all of her teeth (including 2 year molars!) Teething hasn't proved to be very bothersome for her... The last few have given her some problems but she doesn't really cry... she gets a bit fussy and whiny, but when it's time for bed, she still sleeps through the night. (I know... I am the LUCKIEST mom ever!)

Recently we took our first plane trip with her and she was A-MAZING! She slept through all the flights for the most part... when she wasn't sleeping she was watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse on the Touchpad or just hanging out.  I swear this kid is the best kid EVER.

I am loving being a mom! Though I must admit, it is challenging at times! Juggling work and Evelyn is an every day challenge, but we do just fine.  The past 2 months we have been remodeling our kitchen, so our house has been a state of disaster, but we are nearing the end, so hopefully within the next month or so we can get things back to normal!

We are looking forward to summer and getting out and doing fun things like going to the zoo, exploring our awesome city and taking some trips to the pool!
