Bed Head

Evie is finally getting enough hair to do fun stuff with.  It's curling around the edges and looking quite cute...most of the time.

Mornings and after naps is the best!  She always wakes up with a fun new hair do that provokes a few laughs from Jesse and I.  We thought you could use a chuckle or two too!

We went swimming at my parents pond and since she's such a pale thing, we lathered her up.  I forgot to take her sun hat so I put lotion on her scalp as well...and this was the result. =]  

Random Cuteness!

We bought Evie a basket for her toys and her new favorite thing is dumping it out, turning it over, and chewing on the bottom of it. She hears " wood is not for eating" a lot and it doesn't seem to stop her...at least she's getting her fiber!

Can you say comfortable...if nothing else she is super bendy and stretching like this helps to keep her that way!

I Gave Birth to this Weirdness!?!

So every once in a while I seriously ask myself this question.  Evelyn does some weird things and here is a new one.  I saw her do it and, great mother that I am, I hoped she'd do it again so I could record it. So it was your lucky day!

I mean come on if you're gonna do it once you might as well do it again!

Over the River and Through the Woods...

Over Memorial Day weekend our little family went to Driggs to visit with Emilee (Jesse's sister) and her family.  Since we hadn't been together for 4 years we thought we couldn't miss this chance to see them!  We met at the cabin and were able to create lots of fun memories while we were there.  Here are a few I thought I'd share.

Here are the three relatively new additions to the Cook family.  Evelyn, Morgan, and William.  You would think Evie was the oldest, but she's not.  Morgan came one month before she did and Will came 2 months later.

 The kids loved playing with Evelyn and putting things on her head.  She did a great job tolerating it and would let us all know when she was done. (In this picture:  Sabina and Issac.)

Emilee's boys were so loving with Evie.  They would sing her songs and play with her every chance they got. (In this picture:  Penny, Evie, Ean, Emilee, and Grandpa Darryl)

 

We had a great weekend and it was nice to catch up and visit with family! (In these pictures: top: Jesse and Evie, Zac and Will, Heidi and Morgan; bottom: Ivie, Morgan, and Evelyn.)

When It Rains, It Pours

Today this is the motto for my blog.  I finally figured out how to link videos and had time to update.  So five new posts later...I'm caught up for a while at least.  In the future I should do better...no promises, but I'll try.

Johnny Jump Up

I was holding Evelyn on my lap the other day and getting my daily arm workout, when it dawned on me that we have a Johnny Jump Up that could do this job too!  Not to say I don't like or need the workout, but a break once or twice a day would be nice!  Anyone who has held her would know she's not one of those sit contently children.  The girls gotta move!  It only took her about 3 seconds once she was in it to figure out what to do and she loves it!  So here is the link to a short video of her first time.

We since have worked out the kinks...covered the straps so they don't scratch her head and added some padding inside the jumper so she doesn't hit her head on the wall!  I know...good momma!

Random Cuteness

Evelyn is now 6 months old and boy has the time flown by.  I was looking back on her short life in pictures the other day and found some cute ones to share.  Hope you enjoy!

Daddy is feeding her for the first time...she looks messy and worried!

These two are from Jesse's birthday this year. 32 years young! We celebrated with cheesecake his favorite.

 

These three are my personal favorites.  I have a mirror I put under the couch in the living room for when I want to do my hair and makeup there so I don't have to haul everything from the bathroom.  This particular day I had just finished my hair and hadn't gotten around to putting it back where it goes.  Evie was on the floor and found it.  She was pretty darn cute!
