I can't believe my tiny baby is 6 months old now, that seriously went by so fast. People always say kids grow up so fast, and I am all like "way to be cliche!"...but no, seriously. She is like a small child now and I feel like she was born last week.
We went to her 6 month check-up today and she is in the 35th percentile for weight and 71st percentile for height, which basically just means nothing besides that she is healthy and tall. She is getting mobile pretty quickly- trying her best to crawl and is almost there. Right now she scoots and rolls everywhere. If I leave her on a blanket on the carpet, I come back a couple minutes later to find that she is 5 feet away licking the tile floor. So basically I am going to have to figure out a better way to keep her contained...and baby proof and turn into a ninja.
A few days ago I put her on her bedroom floor to go switch the laundry and she found her way under the bed.
I declined her shots today because we have a full weekend ahead, so we have to go back to get them Monday. Poor girl probably thought she was home free. NOT!
We are going to see SANTA tonight at a festival type thing on Ft. Huachuca! There is a hayride to look at Christmas lights and crafts too, so I will have just as much fun! And Steve will be a good sport. This will be Eve's second run in with Santa, and she loved him the first time.
Tomorrow night we have a tacky sweater Christmas party to go to. Both Steve and Evelyn have outfits already but I still have to find something.
I just found out recently that the photographer that took our newborn pictures is holding beginning photography classes on Ft. Huachuca in the new year. I am really excited to sign up for those so that I can actually have some sort of rhyme or reason to the setting I use when I take pictures of Evelyn. I haven't even read the manual to our camera and I miss a lot of good shots that way. She is super talented and there is a lot to be learned from her. I would love to tag her in this for those that live in the area, but this blogging thing is not as simple as Facebook to me so her name is Heather Bird. If you want to learn how to use your camera, take this class with me (contact me for the schedule).
Here are some other pictures of our family from this past week. I think this first one is hilarious because she just threw up on me and she is winking at the camera while I cleaned up.
P.S. check out her cute grey leggings, those are the ones made from knee socks.

AND lastly: A sneak peek to our Christmas card this year, because if I send one to everyone that we know, I will be addressing envelopes the entire month of December. Don't worry, it's not a total spoiler, there are other pictures on it too.
Hope your weekend is merry and BRIGHT!
