More of Evy

(Evy is the name we usually use for Evelyn. Eh-vie). Anyway... here are some very recent pictures of Evelyn. She's a very active girl. She can hardly ever sit still. (She's also very loving though. She spends a lot of the day coming up to me and giving me quick hugs before running off to play again.) You may notice that she has a black eye. She fell in the bathtub about a week ago. She falls a lot. She likes to climb. That's partly because she watches Hannah and wants to do all of the things that she does.

Evelyn is only fifteen months old but she thinks she is at least three. She's starting to talk a lot too. It's so much fun. She started talking months before Hannah did. Again, I partially think that's because she copies Hannah. She's learned a lot of the things she says around the same time that Hannah did. Although she pretends to say full sentences, usually the last word is the only intelligible one. I bet she can say fifty or more words on her own. It's so much fun! Her latest words are "boot" and "book" (she walks around practicing saying "k" and "t") and "hat." She can pronounce all of them perfectly. She also recently started to enjoy saying words like "hand" and "hair" and "eye" (as she pokes mine of course.) I can't get over how cute it is!
