This weekend we traveled down to Humpa and Yaya's house to attend a wedding shower. The shower was in honor of Shaun's cousin, Jenny, who will be getting married this June. Even though the skies were cloudy, it turned out to be a fun party! :)

Best friends

Evelyn's BFF Sydnee came over for a visit the other day and for the first time, Evelyn actually noticed the presence of her friend! Since Sydnee is walking these days she was all over the place and poor Evelyn remained stationary, but I think their friendship will continue to bloom as they continue to grow and change everyday!

Ready to see the animals!!



Sweet baby girl!

Checking out the gorilla!
Helping daddy with the map! :)

Our day at the zoo!! Since we knew there was definite rain coming on Easter Sunday, we decided to take advantage to the sunshine on Saturday. This was our first visit to the OKC zoo--and Evelyn's first zoo ever! :) Once we arrived we realized that our baby would probably be needing some sunscreen and a hat......thank goodness for gift shops!

All tuckered out!

Home again

It felt so good to finally be home after our trip to Ireland with mom and dad. (I promise to make an Ireland post.) We all needed a nice weekend at home to rest and recover. I have been amazed at how Evelyn has been changing lately. It seems like during our trip she suddenly became stronger and more alert! She now can support her head all by herself, can roll over and now likes to grab for toys. She is still such a joy---we're so lucky to have her! :)

Laundry?

This evening Shaun and I were folding laundry and I decided that this was not a very eventful task. So, what makes anything a little more exciting? Throw a baby in there!! :) Evelyn loved laying in the pile of clothes and kicking her feet around! It provided some entertainment and a small delay in having to finish our chore.

Which goes faster........

30 years or 3 months?

4 Generations! GG, Gram, Courtney & Evelyn

GG and Papa

Evelyn is 3 months old!

Shaun and I going on a date for my 30th birthday!

A couple things happened this past week. I turned 30 years old and Evelyn turned 3 months. Looking back I don't know which seemed to have occurred at a faster pace. Thirty years seems like such a long time, but I feel there is so much I haven't yet accomplished. There's still so much of this country and other countries I'd like to see! But, on the other hand, I do have a wonderful husband, an adorable daughter and a great job. So, I'd say that the past 30 years have been a success! Bring on the next 30!! :)

Evelyn reached the milestone of 3 months! She is getting stronger and stronger by the day! My favorite part of watching her grow is her communications skills! Her coo-ing and babbling constantly bring smiles to our faces! She is such a joy!

Evelyn's first bath in the big tub!!

Stuff

I love eating my hands






Our little girl is growing up! She can now make some giggles if provoked by her father making funny faces!:) She is also trying to roll over!! What happened to my sweet, little, non-mobile baby? Things are just changing too quickly!
This weekend I went to another craft show and found the cutest chair! It looks like an overstuffed arm chair that adults could use, but at 1/10th the size! Perfect for Evelyn to lounge and watch TV with daddy! :)
