Evie's 3 year checkup

Evie turned 3 back in June, but we weren't very timely with scheduling her 3 year checkup so we finally just had it yesterday. We're happy to report that she is a whopping 25.5 pounds! That's the 3rd percentile, for those who keep score. She's 20th in height though. The doctor thought she looked great and everything is on track. No shots this year so we avoided that thankfully. We took this opportunity to tell Evie the doctor told her to drink more milk since she's not a big fan of milk (much like her mama!).

At 3, Evie is a chatterbox! Well, she was a chatterbox way before 3, but she's definitely not as shy now.   She LOVES to sing - everything from Doe-a-Deer (she mastered that before our Hawaii trip in May) to Frozen songs. She is into all things princess and her favorites are Anna from Frozen, Cinderella, Belle and Brave (she always forgets that the princess name is Merida). Favorite colors are pink and green. She can write her name (not always in the right letter order though) and a few other letters and can read numbers to 9. Her favorite foods are mac n cheese. eggs over easy (she loves the runny yolk and thinks it's sauce!) and frozen blueberries. She loves her "stuffies", especially Lambie and Baby.

She's still timid when it comes to trying new adventures. She is still not a big fan of slides. She asks a lot about strangers. She's not really into juice, surprisingly. She still isn't too great with her vegetables but she'll at least take a few bites each night. She's a bit of a mommy's girl. She's getting better at swimming (more in a separate post) but still not comfortable being in the water despite having floaties.

Evie is a real hoot and Scott and I thank our lucky stars everyday we got such a wonderful little girl. She knows to stay in bed until 7, and as soon as it hits 7, she runs into our room every morning and it's one of the best parts of my day to wake up to her happy chatter. I couldn't have asked for a sweeter little girl!

So excited about her Cotton Candy ice cream cone!

Happy new year!!

Goodness, it's already 2025! It's been a really long time since we posted!  We had a very lazy new year. We flew back from LA on the evening of the 31st so spent the last remaining hours of 2024 cozying up on the couch and then fell asleep before it even hit midnight! On New Years day, we slept in, cleaned up the house and then did a quick hike the next day. All in all, a good start to the year! Nora's new blanket hoodie. Cold and muddy trails. We're not in LA anymore! We hiked the Primrose trail that follows Coal Creek.  

Ski weekend in Leavenworth

We had made plans many moons ago to take the MLK weekend for a short getaway to the Leavenworth area. We've been a few times in years past and it's always a fun place to visit especially in the wintertime. But this year, with COVID and all, we weren't sure whether we wanted to go but I'm super happy that we went. We had a blast and was able to keep safe by keeping to ourselves! First up, we left bright and early so that we can pack in a snowshoe/winter hike on the drive over. The last time we went , we had stopped for some snowshoeing on the way back and it was epic! Unfortunately, this time the snow was old and not nearly as soft and fluffy so while it was a nice diversion with some pretty views, it wasn't as great as we had hoped. The fun part though, was that we brought our camping stove with us so we did some tailgating in the parking lot and had a fancy ramen meal for lunch. It was super nice to warm the belly with the yummy noodles and broth! That evening, we ...

Skateboarding

Evie got a skateboard recently so our usual scoot and bike nights now also include her skateboarding. Here's a short video of her, Scott and Nora rolling down the street.
