Happy 17 Months to our sweet Evelyn! I have to say that I'm really enjoying this age so far. Evelyn's attention span is longer, she is funny, good-natured (usually), and a lot of fun to be around right now. Her smile and infectious laugh have been just what I needed to keep some stressful situations in perspective in the past week.
Here are the 17-month milestones:
- She's been speaking some sort of baby pig latin. Every word ends in "-ika", like "Mom-ika", "Dad-ika", "nap-ika", "oot-ika". Lucky for her, we are very talented parents and can also speak baby pig latin! She's also talking a ton and repeating almost everything we say. We have to choose our words carefully!
- Coloring and making pictures with stickers is her favorite activity right now! Mom-ika and Dad-ika are enjoying it too. We had forgotten how much fun it is to color.

Coloring with Grandpa. He was brave enough to buy markers!
 |
| Coloring at home (with crayons, of course) |
|
- A couple more teeth have popped through, bringing the total to 12 teeth. It's seeming like teething is a never-ending process.
- I'm afraid our child has developed a mullet and her bangs are getting in her eyes. What to do? If we trim her bangs, the mullet will get worse! I'm opting for pig-tails as often as possible.
- She still loves being outside as much as possible, even though the weather has gotten colder. Rainy days are the hardest for us right now!

| Salvaging a rainy day by helping Mommy re-pot plants in the garage. This was a very messy project that ended with a bath! |
 |
| Outside, as always |
- Evelyn is in love with Roscoe, and he with her. We are so happy Evie is growing up with a sweet dog!
 |
| Who wouldn't love this face? |
 |
| Sophie was visiting, and Evie called her "Dopey" all weekend! |
- Music is another favorite activity! Drums, guitar, piano, and singing are her favorites. Maybe she'll like flute when she gets bigger (I hope!).
 |
| Rocking out at Daddy's gig on Saturday night. We had a front-row seat, and Evelyn was excellent at the restaurant! |
