July has flown by! Here are some highlights from the last several weeks ... in no particular order.
- Eva had her 9 month checkup. She received a clean bill of health. According to the charts, she's one tall little lady (97th percentile!).
- Eva has started to stand on her own without holding on to anything. Something tells us she'll be an early walker. Can't decide if this is a good thing or not.
- Corrie and I enjoyed our first overnight away from Eva to celebrate our anniversary. It was fun, but Corrie kept smiling and talking to every baby we saw. If she was a dude, people would have thought she was pretty creepy.
- The past few weeks of work for Adam have been crazy. He is preparing all the details for his upcoming trip to Malawi (leaves Aug 9) while also needing to get everything done for the fall college schedule that starts up the day he returns from Africa. He's extremely excited about all the projects he's working on, but has been putting in lots of extra hours.
- Corrie's time at work has been full as well. She has several cases going on at the same time. She is quickly learning how to be Wonder Woman, balancing a full time work schedule and motherhood duties. Her invisible plane is on its way.
- Eva began communicating with us. She knows how to point and is quickly learning about all the different "things" in any given room. She also can act like a pretty mean lion and a wise old owl ... thanks to Aunt Sarah for teaching her tricks.
- We spent the 4th of July weekend up in Sacramento with family and friends. We enjoyed every single minute of our time away.
- Eva pooped in the tub for the first time!
- We took Eva on her first international journey into Mexico to visit some good friends in Tijuana.
- Corrie and Adam got to spend some time acting like kids, rather than taking care of them, at Disneyland. Thanks to Emilie and Grandpa and Grandma for watching Eva.
Below are some various pictures and videos. In two weeks Adam will be leaving for Malawi, so we'll post more about his trip soon.
Love you all,
Adam & Corrie

for the record, it was her 'mimi' who taught her the owl.....eva was actually already doing the sound mimi just gave it a name....this is 'mrs. givens', btw....
ReplyDeleteI fear my only legacies left with Eva will be the old "diaper on the head" trick, and me standing by with the video camera while she learns how to smash avocado all over the place. :)
