Getting so BIG

Tonight after Evelyn's 7pm bath time I put her in a 12 month old pajama jumper, asdlkjfalsdkjflajdf! Oh my goodness my little baby is growing up so fast!  I remember when I was looking at a 6 month old onsie and thinking, "gosh that's so big, she still doesn't fit in that" and now she's in 9-12 month stuff, and even fitting in some 18 month pants!  I mean there's room to grow in those but the 9 month stuff is starting to be too small length wise, width wise there's still some room to grow.
Evelyn is now sitting up on her own from a stomach position, crawling (not quite hands and knees) very very quickly now and good distances too, she's pulling up into a standing position (not too often but then again we don't have much to pull up on)!  Pretty soon she'll be toddling around. *sigh*  At least we have a baby gate up in front of the stairs to the basement basement.  Well, here are some more pictures of Evelyn, two from yesterday and one from today. :)  The one from today is her in her jamies and the ones from yesterday of her in her sweater and her playing on the linoleum floor.

Get messy then get clean!!

Evelyn has decided that conventional baby food is beneath her, she wants to eat what you're eating.  She's turned into a complex eater... which is fine, but now she's very very messy!! LOL.  Food EVERYWHERE, I'm going to have to mop the floors 3 times a day now!  Jeeesh!  Today we had some green beans, rotini in a garlic tomato spaghetti sauce and yogurt for dinner.  Most of it was all down her front, or in her hair, or in her shirt, or in her... well you get the picture.  Now that she's wanting a new repertoire of food I'm at a loss... I don't cook, Nick cooks, Nick works, now I have to cook... needless to say, I'm struggling to master the art of cooking.  Sure I can whip up a mean mac n' cheese or frozen pizza but I'm sure Evelyn needs more diversity and nutrition than that.  I am going to have to enlist the help of friends to broaden my horizon as to what Evelyn can eat, her doctors appt was today and she said she can pretty much eat whatever we eat (with a few exceptions) but that doesn't help.  *Sigh* Time to learn, throw my hat into the ring, burn some food, make something slightly edible and before I know it I'll be an old pro.
    Evelyn's Doc Appt:
            Weight: 16 lbs 2 oz = 8th Percentile :(
            Length: 28 in          = 65th Percentile :)
            Head: 18 in             = 90th Percentile :D

She said Evelyn's weight isn't cause for concern, she just probably has a fast metabolism, not surprised, at least she doesn't have my metabolism (TG).  She is progressing well, her head has rounded out... even though it's a big ol' head, lol, big head big smarts. :)

Anywho's here are some pictures from the past two days, and Ev's bath tonight. Enjoy!
