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.  

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.

Alaska Cruise

We got back from our week long cruise to Alaska and ready to go again! We all had a great time but really the best part of our trip was all the family time we spent with my parents, Way and her family and Kin and his family. I think the last time we all vacationed together was back in 2015 when we all went to Kauai . It was so long ago that not all the littles had even been born yet! So yes, a big family vacay was long overdue. The kiddos loooooved spending time with their cousins, whether it was playing bingo or ping pong, or biking and hiking or just hanging out at meal time or playing mahjong. It helped that since we were all on vacation mode, we didn't push (too hard) on eating healthy or limiting screentime. It also really helped that the service on the ship was so accommodating to the kids and (pretty good) pizza, ice cream and drinks were available at all hours.  I was happy with the ship we picked too. The Quantum of the Seas is nearly 20 years old (first sailed in 2014) bu...
