Aunt Alyssa Got Married!

We all had such a good time in Arizona for Alyssa's wedding. Evie was a sweet flower girl (once the wedding coordinator got her corralled and back on the aisle... oooh... pretty flowers over there!).

Evie ate rattlesnake at the rehearsal dinner. She really liked it and asked for more. Ew. Adelle tried it, too once she saw Evie try it. (It's the little pieces of battered and fried stuff on the plate).


Awww... cute little flower girl.


Peek a boo!


Both girls did a great job and were real troopers on a long and busy trip. So proud of both of you!

18 Month Well Check

We went to Evie's 18 month check up today and she is doing great! She is off the charts for height, like always (and just like Adelle always is), but is perfectly healthy! They say you should double her height at 18 months to get an idea of how tall she'll be when she i an adult. At a whopping 34 inches, this puts her about 5'8" or 5'9", which sounds about right. BTW, you double the height at age two for little boys.

My only concern is her speech. I had a VERY advanced talker with Adelle so I don't really have a good frame of reference for 'normal' in this category. The doc said that given her temperament and that she is the second child (with a very talkative sister), she is perfectly normal. No worries. She agrees with me that she is processing and one day it will all come spilling out in complete sentences. Until then, I'm thankful we taught her sign language.
