My Silly Little Girl

One evening, Josh and I found Evie in our dog crate. I guess she thought it looked like a fun place to explore. Christmas, our cocker, was more than happy to share his home with her.

The Puny Brown Family

This week has been the week of sick tummies for the Brown family. I thought we were finally recovering on Thursday, but then Josh got sick. Hopefully with some chicken and noodle soup for Josh and bananas and toast for Evie, everyone will quickly start to feel better. Even though Josh and Evie are feeling under the weather, I have a few cute pics to share from the last month.

At first Evie was content to just play in the water, but then she decided to shove the dog over and take some of his food. Christmas, our cocker, was a really good sport. He didn't mind at all sharing his food.

Work buddies. Evie loves Daddy's computer. We tried to distract her with her own computer so Daddy could finish some work. It lasted for about a minute, and then she was ready to help Daddy. His computer was cooler than hers.

Evie loves looking out the window now that she's very mobile. Especially on the day that it snowed.

Happy 1st Birthday

It's amazing how fast a year can fly by with a baby. It seems like only yesterday that we brought Evie home from the hospital, and now she's already celebrated her 1st birthday. We had a small family party a few days before her actual birthday. Then on Jan. 21st, Evie had a special birthday breakfast with Mommy and Daddy. As you can see from the pictures, she had a blast at her party. I never knew balloons could entertain so well. Although she was a little timid at first, Evie eventually dug into her Dirt Oreo Cake. All in all, it was a great day. Happy Birthday, Big Girl. Mommy and Daddy love you lots.

On This Perfect Day...

Today is Aunt Kelli's birthday. Happy Birthday, Ka-Ka! My family and I celebrated her birthday on Sunday at Ted's. I loved the tortillas.

Even though I'm quite the chunk, I'm still starving. Look at the way I went after the tortillas. I just couldn't eat them quick enough.

Afterwards, we went to Nana and PawPaw's house for dessert.

When it comes to dessert, my family is very stingy and mean. They wouldn't share anything with me. That was not very nice, guys. Oh well, I love you all anyway.

I had so much fun playing with Aunt Kelli and Uncle Chris. Boy, do I love his hair!

Today, I got to eat lunch with Aunt Kelli and Nana. Mommy came along too. I had so much fun. Aunt Kelli, I hope you have a great birthday. I love you bunches! Love, Evie

Happy Birthday, Joy

Today is the birthday of the newest member of the Brown family. Joy or "Aunt Joy" as Evie calls her. Eliah, Evie's cousin, would have kept the title as the newest , but Joy beat him out when she married my brother-in-law Caleb this past June. She turns 21 today, and we all wish her a happy birthday.

Evie loves spending time with her Aunt Joy.

Evie loves her aunt and uncle. Happy Birthday, Joy. We love you. Have fun at the Melting Pot. I'm very envious.

Trick or Treat

Yesterday, Evie had her first taste of trick or treating. She couldn't decide which costume to wear so she tried them both on. She liked the pumpkin outfit,


but she really loved the flower costume.



We went to Nana and PawPaw's house to trick or treat,


and instead of candy Evie got her very first Gloworm. She loved it.


She also got to see Aunt Kelli and Uncle Chris, who brought candy for Mommy and Daddy and a Halloween sno-globe for Evie.



All in all, Evie had a blast trick or treating.

9 Months and Counting

Our little girl, who really isn't that little, celebrated her 9 month birthday not very long ago. It is so incredible how fast the time flies. I feel like each day she is learning something new. We had a doctor appointment this week, and our suspicions were confirmed. Josh and I have a very, very healthy daughter. At 9 months, Evie weighs 21 lbs. 10 oz. and is 29 3/4 in. long. She's a big girl, and we love her!
