You are my Sunshine My only Sunshine

It's funny how much I look forward to blogging.

I think about it all week

when I finally get to have a minute to sit down & do it.

It's kind of like a relaxing "me time" in my week

I get to take a break from photoshopping all my weddings and bridals and I get to finally work on something that I love 

.most the time 

it's this girl.

I have never been much of a Journaler*

I haven't regretted it so far

up until 3 years ago my journal mostly would have consisted of entries like

"This month I like (place unimportant boys name here)"

"today I hung out with my same 6 best friends"

"the church is true"

but once I met my husband that all changed.

I felt like I had stuff happening in my life that my kids would want to read about.

Thoughts and memories that they'd like to relive with me later in their lives

{maybe when I'm gone?}

for me 

.blogging = journal.

So today I want to write about Evie for a few minutes

she's already 6 months old

I remember when I was pregnant with her thinking

"I think having a 6 month old is going to be the BEST!

she'll be at a perfect stage.

you can really have fun with her and she's not super fragile anymore

she has a personality but is still manageable

she's not so dependent on you but she's not mobile YET"

This girl is about 5 days away from crawling!

i'm terrified...

She is going to be a handful when she can finally get around

This girl is a 

wild woman!

We have a hard time at church already because she sits and just SCREECHES! 

It's not a cry, its just sheer joy

<3

.She LOVES to jump.

we can't go to movies with her anymore because she is CONSTANTLY jumping in our laps and we're exhausted by the end!

We took her to "we bought a zoo" the other day and she just stood in our laps and SCREECHED at the animals on the screen! I had to take her out for most of the movie!

She ADORES my brother Jared

I don't know if it's because he's smaller than everyone else or what but every time he's near her she starts to kick her legs and scream at him.

He went to Hobby Lobby with us the other day and I almost made him go sit in the car because Evie was causing such a scene about him walking by us!

She wants to be touching your face at all times

If you are holding her she's either pulling at your nose, eyes and mouth or she'll put her hands up on your temples, shut her eyes, and slowly put her forehead against yours and leave it there for a minute.

{thats my favorite}

She is so smart

she's already learning how to clap

she already says "mom"

{I don't think she does it on purpose but she says it all the time}

When she gets sad she looks at me with her big puppy face and goes 

"mom mom mom mom mom"

.heart melt.

She likes to bug charley and pull her ears

{charley will usually let out a huge annoyed sigh* and then go lay on the other end of the sofa}

She LOVES ice cream

{like her mamma}

She loves sock monkeys!

She thinks they are just hilarious

She's in a MAJOR scratching phase

which stinks because when i'm rocking her to sleep she HAS to be touching my face and most the time she's just scratching me.

When she has something in her hand that she is particularly pleased about having (dads cell phone) she starts to sing this high pitched little song and flips the item around in her hands.

She loves to suck on faces!!

My makeup looks like crap everyday because she is constantly sucking on my cheeks!

She loves to be upside down?

The higher and faster you drop her the more fun she has.

She's very curious about everything going on around her and watches everything very intently

She loves when I sing "you are my sunshine"

"I'm trying to be like Jesus"

"pop corn popping on the apricot tree"

& "you'll be in my heart" but doesn't like "I am a child of god"?...

.weird.

{maybe i'm a little pitchy.... sensitive ears...}

She gets exhausted at the grocery store because with out a doubt she has at least 6 people come within 3 inches of her face and say "oh what a cute baby!! do you love shopping!? You are just a doll! Are you with your mamma?! Oh my goodness how adorable!" while we are there.

She cracks up when Dad dances with her.

She likes to eat moms Ipad.

She HATES the car seat

Loves the stroller

and goes CRAZAY  in the bath tub! 

This girl is gonna be one of those kids that you have to go in and manually remove from the swimming pool! 

anyway, it's 1 a.m and I just got caught blogging by my husband so I'd better go but thats my journal update on Evie. For those of you who stayed through the whole thing, thanks for listening :) 

Talk to you all soon!

xo, Meg
