I need to UPDATE

1. Evelyn is mobile! She crawls and scoots any where she wants to go.

2. She pulls her self up on every thing and walks along furniture.

3. She lost weight from 9 months to 10 months so she is now on a FAT diet. She weighs 14 pounds.

4. Evelyn laughs a lot more and is starting to understand the game of chase! SO FUN!

5. She loves going to the pool and we do it several times a week! (see picture above)

6. We are moving to Vegas 2 weeks from today!!!!!

7. We are now moving into a beautiful 3 bed 2 1/2 bath house!! A miracle in its self

8. Some of our best friends moved in next to us so we hang out with them all the time.

9. Jeff is so ready to be done with his job.

10. I have gotten sun burned several times this summer...don't worry I got all my moles checked and I'm fine!

11. For some reason I HATE cooking during the summer (I think it's the heat)

12. I discovered the Real House Wives of New York and I love it!

13. Jeff and I play bejeweled on Xbox together.

14. Evelyn loves LIFE cereal. It's her favorite snack by far!

15. Jeff has cannon ball contests at the pool with his bff.

16. We are having a fun summer!

I'm not very good at this...

I'm not very good at this whole blogging thing. I mean I just never think I have anything to blog about... I mean what do I write Evelyn pooped in the bath tub again! No one wants to hear that!?
And my life just consists of her pretty much so it's not like I have anything to report. Jeff has the most excitement but he is just working, working, working, playing Tiger Woods golf, and working!
I thought Evelyn had eating down. Apparently I was WRONG!!!!

Who needs crawling when I army crawl

Evelyn does not want to crawl. However, she does want to scoot, army crawl, or whatever you would like to call it! Here she is in action!

Life is good!

Memorial Day weekend my grandparents came to visit from Nevada. They had not met their great granddaughter yet, so we were very excited for them to come. We had so such a good time and as you can see Evelyn was also very excited. She was very good with them.

We went and visited some graves, which was actually really nice. We enjoyed our visit very much.

Life is good. Life is really good. We have friends that we love, we have a beautiful daughter, we have everything we need. (not everything we want) I don't have any complaints.

Evelyn's squeal Laugh!

Jeff was playing with Evelyn tonight and she is usually a happy baby, but it is difficult to get her to laugh. Well tonight Jeff found how to make Evelyn laugh harder than I have EVER heard her!

I had to copy Daddy and see if I could get her to laugh too! See if I was a success....

I may be biased, but I don't care who you are that makes you smile!

Ya know just the usual...RANDOM

We have not been up to a whole lot around here but it has been a good week. I'm trying to be better about not watching AS much TV. When Evelyn was born she slept ALLLLLLLL the time. LITERALLY. For the first 2-3 months. So what did I do, I watched a TON of TV. However, now she is more active and we can do more. I am trying to not have it on, a lot of the time I had it on as some background noise. Plus, a lot of the shows I watch are just stupid (yes, I admit it). Before I know it Evelyn will realize what I am watching and be able to understand and that is not good!

Another random thing is Evelyn has learned how to clap! However, she does it at the most random and funny times. She always claps while I'm changing her diaper, "Thanks mom, you are doing a great job!" And then today she clapped while I was getting dressed and when I was basically in my birthday suit (sorry if that is too much information) she looked at me and started clapping! It was like she was saying nice job mom! It made me laugh out loud SO funny!

New favorite snack: Peanut Butter Captain Crunch, delicious!!!! Anyone else snack on random stuff????

Pet Peeve: When I get myself a snack food (PBCC) and then Jeff eats it!! I need to start hiding my food! haha!

Almost done. Jeff is growing a beard. I hate kissing a beard. However, it doesn't look too bad, it's a short beard...But I still do not like kissing a beard. Wait wait he just came out of the bathroom with a chin strap. I am speechless.

Last random thing. We watched a little girl tonight around 20 months. Evelyn loved watching her she was so entertained. Jeff thinks Evelyn needs a sibbling. After 2 hours I was tired.

MOMS I NEED YOU!!!!

Okay, I know there are books out there ALL about sleeping schedules, and so forth. However, I have enjoyed cuddling my little girl to sleep for the past 8 months or so. Well 2 weeks ago we decided we needed to start putting her in her crib when she needed to go to sleep. Well everyone said oh she'll cry for the first little bit but it will get better. Well it is NOT getting better. She cries for 45 minutes to an hour EVERY night.

It is SO bad that Jeff can't handle it sometimes. I do think it is my fault because I still hold her for naps. My question is do I just need to let her cry for naps too? Is it all or nothing? I have loved cuddling her to sleep but I feel like (sadly) it is time for her to learn how to fall asleep on her own.

I could use some advice, because this is tough.
