A long overdue update

I know I have been a horrible blogger this year. I won't promise to be better about posting but I will post when I have time. Having an almost 2 year old (yikes!) and working full time keeps us on the go a lot.


We just finished a month long session of mommy & baby swim classes. I have a fish on my hands. She LOVES to swim and be in the water. We did get sick in the middle of the classes and missed a day and then had a snow day which was good because we were sick that day too.


We met a new friend through our swimming class and we went to the zoo this weekend with them. The weather was gorgeous after some very cold and yucky weather. The weather only lasted for Saturday and 1/2 of Sunday and now it is back to winter cold with possibility of snow.


Evvy is getting big and learning new words every day. I need to write down all of her words & phrases because her vocabulary is really growing.


All done
All gone
I don't know
Grandpa
Grandma
Mama (the most important of course)
Hi Bella (cat)
Hi Duchess (cat)
No
Elmo
Cookie

Apple

Orange
Milk

Elephant

Cock a doodle doo (more like cocka cocka coo)
Nose
Arm


Signs she knows and uses:
Cat
Dog
Monkey
Fish
Bird
Elephant
Eat
Drink
Baby
more
all done


Those are just the ones I remember off the top of my head.


She knows most animal sounds and responds to questions in both English and Spanish when asked about animal sounds and body parts.


She is full of energy and spunk. She is going to keep me active and young. She is sleeping better these days but not perfect. She is down to one longer nap in the afternoon. This is nice especially on the weekends because it means that mommy gets an occassional nap with my snuggle baby next to me.


Here are a few pictures. Even though I am not blogging as often I am adding pictures to our photo albums . Oh and another thing. When I chose a new layout I lost all of my links so I will try to work on getting them back on the side-bar.


If I have any readers left, thanks for stopping by!
