I’ve been on a blog hiatus because there have more important things to do around here. All of those important things can be boiled down to one category: soaking up Evie’s first months of life.
Here’s a bunch of snapshots to show a bit of what we’ve been up to.
Hanging out with Rilo the dog, Uncle Darrell, Darrell’s brother Kevin, after-school naps with mommy … daddy even found a $100 bill on the street in California on a business trip!
concert at the park .. loving her zebra lovie .. a rainbow I saw .. evie loves her ring & middle fingers
venison tacos for dinner (not you, Evie, sorry) .. meeting up with our good friends at the Taste .. second street market .. swimming pool for the first time (she was very serious about it – no surprise)
she wasn’t sure at first, but after she thought really hard about it … she liked it.
daddy kisses .. irish gear .. faceplanting in spitup & not caring .. studying for notre dame .. smiles on the changing table
first Irish game of the season .. hanging out with Uncld D & Aunt Lo .. bloody mary’s & lambic .. getting tired in the jumperoo .. Target run with Mommy .. our long girl in the bathtub
waking up after a nap & lounging with Daddy .. falling asleep in odd places .. meeting her friend’s family at Katelyn’s baptism .. girl chat with Katelyn
reading with Mommy in the jungle .. napping with her toosh in the air .. sitting up in the rocker like a big girl .. lovin’ her 2 new toys: her feet
reading to her dolly .. Mommy & Evie already for the day .. showing off her awesome leg chunk .. Mommy’s day at Habitat for Humanity with work .. relaxing at home after a long day
flying with daddy .. showing off a cute outfit before school (Thank you, Barb & Larry!) .. meeting up with Maureen & Conner (check out Conner’s hair!! absolutely love it) .. Baby Ike hanging out with Erika .. Container Store heaven (and inevitable purchases) .. Evie napping with Rilo
butterfly kisses from Rilo (Evie loved it!) .. sleeping on D & Lo’s front porch .. meeting Layla, Evie’s new friend .. and getting pet by Layla (Evie didn’t like that) .. Evie sleeping & giving the finger (tsk tsk) .. playing with another new toy – Mommy’s face .. and Mommy’s new haircut!
my little ball of Irish cuteness, hanging out on the deck .. meeting Marion for the first time .. and sleeping all the way home.
We’ve been busy! Life is full of good things right now & we wouldn’t change it for the world.

I’m going to start doing instagram grids of snapshots instead of phone dumps from now on … I like the ability to show many pictures in a succinct way, which is ideal since we take SO MANY pictures on our phones! Enjoy!
out to dinner & listening to a concert with good friends
a walk in the park & over to a friends’ house for dinner
bathtime, dolly time, 4-month check-up time, pictures from one of Michael’s business trips
time with Mommy while Daddy is away, seeing the high school marching band practice, cuddling with her monkey, goofy faces at bedtime, saying cheese with mommy, taking a morning nap before going to school.
playing like a big girl in her Bumbo … she loves her blue rattle.
phone dump, Aug 8-18
Pictures of pictures of Evie having fun at daycare
Our own private seating secret near a nearby concert venue
a secret we share only with Lindsay, Jeff & their daughter Katelyn
the daddies & their daughters
Bright ‘n early, ready to go to “school”
Taken by Michael, during a run on the west side of Oakwood … a mommy deer …
… and her fawn.
Mommy was just as excited (or moreso) about this addition to the living room.
Too tired, even for a diaper change.
Me, giving her a bottle for the first time. The last two times I tried, a month or two ago, were failures. Now, with daycare, Evelyn has become a pro with the bottle.
Bathtime in her washpod.
She preferred to stand up, which didn’t leave Mommy many hands to clean Evie.
All fresh & clean, braving the mosquitoes & going for a neighborhood walk.
Another morning, all ready for school.
Saying goodbye to her bunny.
… and about 15 hours later, ready for bed.
Evie wanted to be a part of the action during dinnertime, so I let her sit on my lap while I ate. She immediately planted her hand in my baked potato, so I gave her something else to play with.
What happens when I arrive to a party later than Evie & Daddy…
Cozy nap in Mommy & Daddy’s bed.
phone dump, Aug 1-7
naptime with general tso and mr. toucan. (mr. toucan likes to sleep with his eyes open, which creeps me out.)
side sleeper on the video monitor
her feet, always in motion
… until she sleeps.
Evelyn, being a little feisty & subtly communicating her feelings.
storytime in her room
(very effective)
hey, that’s not Ohio.
It’s Squaw Peak, near Phoenix, Arizona.
Michael was in the area on business.
He ran/hiked up this peak.
Beautiful.
Hawt.
Hawt-er.
While at home …
… cuteness was happening.
This was taken on the video monitor around 4:30am one day. She had woken up around 3:45 & I fed her. She was still wide awake and I … was not. So, I put her in her crib to see what would happen. She played with her hands, and fell asleep.
I know. I realize we are lucky. We understand this, and marvel at it several times a day.
We don’t normally have the TV on while she is in the room, but it was a little more difficult with the Olympics on. Here she is catching up on the men’s swimming results.
One of her jungle animals must have just said something pretty astonishing.
happy baby.
Deep in concentration.
Snuggling with Ghostie, a cherished childhood toy of her daddy’s.
weekend coffee indulgence
Trying out the new neighborhood frozen yogurt place. Evie seems to approve.
Walking home with Mommy. She was stunned when a firetruck went by … she was not used to those sounds and lights.
More Olympics with Daddy.
(She got her first cold during her first week at daycare.)
Bedtime snuggles with Mommy (my favorite part of the day).
Goodnight Snack! (her monkey)
Goodnight Evie.
