Gramma & Grampa's Summer Vacation, Part 2

Then we went to the State Fair.


Ok, she wasn't really asleep, but Gramma was trying so hard to get her to nap! I just happened to catch her with her eyes closed.

Mmmmm, turkey leg



Gramma & Grampa's Summer Vacation, Part 1

Mom & Dad came out for their vacay this past week. One thing we did was go on a Milwaukee River & Harbor Tour. It was 90 minutes long and really nice! I won a free beer for answering a trivia question correctly, so that was great too!

Here's the old tug boat.

Here's the cruise tour boat.
Here's where the naughty kids sit. ;-)


Grampa & Evelyn looking at the condos in Third Ward.


Awwww


YAY! Evie's first boat ride!



LOOK WHO'S WALKING!!!

Eric was laying on the floor and Evelyn stood up against him and just walked over to her chair! Then, I ran into the room and she walked 7-8 steps back and forth between us for 10 minutes!! YAYAY!!! Oh, and of course I cried. My baby is getting too grown-up.

Wait, she's a toddler now?? Time to invest in band-aids!!

1 Year Stats

Height - 2'4" (15th %ile)
Weight - 17lbs 8.5oz (15th %ile)
Head circumference - 46 cm (70th %ile)

Evelyn's doing fantastic!! She's right on track and growing. Her doctor was thrilled with how great she's feeling and her physical & intellectual growth. She's such a trooper too. She had her Hep A, MMR, & chicken pox vaccines at her appointment PLUS a blood draw! She's been a wild woman who won't nap today, so we're thinking it's a reaction to the vaccines. Her blood work is perfect too. So happy with our peanut!
