From our phone

I'm going to warn you, there are a lot of pictures. Yesterday Ben and I finally uploaded all of the pictures/videos from our phones. I was shocked to see that I had taken over 500 pictures and 30 videos. But what else do I have to do but take tons of pictures of my beautiful baby girl. So I thought I would make a massive blog post with pictures since Evelyn was born and you can kind of see how she has changed over the last 8 months.

Minutes after she was born

 

Those first few months when she would lay still or sleep in your arms or on you lap

 

We failed as parents in getting a picture of Evelyn in her Halloween costume with our actual camera. So here we are at the ward trunk or treat

 

Her first trip to the Zoo 

 

 

The one and only time she fell asleep on her own on the floor. I was making her do tummy time (at the time this was her least favorite part of the day).

Leaving extremely early in the morning for her first flight to California

First time eating rice cereal. Our regular camera was having issues so this is what you get :)

 

Dancing with Daddy 

 

First time sitting in the basket

This was after her 6 month shots. She had a cold and was so exhausted.

I realized then that I had to watch Evelyn closely while we shopped. She likes to grab anything within reach.

 

Swimming failure
 

My grandma made me this shirt when I was a baby. I think Evelyn pulls it off well!

Her reaction to Mike is about the same as her reaction to swimming.

Opening her package from Nana

Evelyn sits in the high chairs at restaurants now 

She is starting to pull herself up on this and this is how she was checking out her toys the other day.
