 Our little sleeper.

Our not so little investigator...always trying to figure things out!

 Owen slept through the big snow storm and let Eva and I shovel before Daddy got home from work!

Eva brought her shovel out to help mommy, but then decided eating the snow was a lot more fun!

(43/52) Great Auntie Rochelle must have the magic touch!  I can't imagine Eva just falling asleep on my chest like this!

(44/52) This little kitty just loves all her Halloween candy!

(40/52) and (41/52) and (42/52)

(40/52) All smiles...look at all my pretty teeth!

(41/52) I love my little red wagon!

  (42/52) My absolute favorite thing to do is color and play with stickers.  Oh, and sit in the box where Mommy keeps my colors!

End of summer fun!  (It was hard to pick just one picture for this week)!

(35/52)

Eva, you are soaking up the last few weeks of summer!  You just love playing in the sprinkler with Daddy!

(33/52) and (34/52)

Eva, you finally learned how to climb up the stairs to your slide.

(34/52)

You made the most adorable flower girl for Auntie Melissa and Uncle Timmy's wedding.

This week Eva wanted to try the big girl swing at the park.  She was a little wobbly, but so proud of herself!

(32/52)

Eva enjoyed holding (at at times tasting) a delicious popsicle that Gigi and Papa brought over!

(31/52)

Eva is finally saying momma more consistently! So, in honor of me finally being official here's the latest pic of Eva and I.

Can you tell I have slacking on my "portrait a week project?"

(28/52)
Eva loves to take rides on Charlie (I can't believe she is big enough to do this)!

(29/52)
Eva loves to watch Daddy through the window...if you can't tell, she also loves to give kisses!

(30/52)
Let's get sand everywhere (and I mean everywhere)!

(27/52)

Happy 4th of July!  Eva sends sends sticky, watermelon hugs and kisses to everyone!

(26/52)

Eva, you enjoyed a weekend with Daddy while Mommy was away celebrating Auntie Melissa!  From this picture I'd say you had a great weekend!

(24/52) and (25/52)

Oh my, how time flies!

Eva, you enjoyed playing with the sidewalk chalk!  Although you were tempted to just eat the chalk you did good to draw squiggles here and there.  You also enjoyed taking all of the chalk out of the bucket and then, putting it back in.

Eva, you spent Father's Day entertaining the family...you and your three teeth!

Riding in my little red wagon.

Eva, you're enjoying your new rocking horse!  This horse was refurbished just for you by Uncle Joey and Auntie Amanda.  Originally, your Great Grandma Loretto built it with her own two hands and gave it to your dad for his first Christmas in 1978.  The Smith kids held nothing back and loved playing with it.  Now, it is your turn (and your soon to be sibling's turn), enjoy!
