Grandma Kornegay's Excer-saucer.

Grandma Kornegay came up to visit us for the annual turkey-murder day. She hasn't seen Evie since she was four weeks old, so she has had a hard time letting her go. Can't blame her though, as you want to get all your snuggles in at once. On Saturday, Kiley and Grandma went out shopping while I remained home. They bought her a more grown up version of her bouncer called an Excer-saucer. She loves it as it allows her to spin around, stand-up, play with a vast array of toys and watch tv from relative comfort. All she needs now is a bottle holder and she'll be all set.

Love,

Blake

Evie's first FSU vs. UF game was a complete failure on all accounts from the perspective of a fan, but she succeeded in looking completely adorable in her cheerleader outfit. Evie is even getting really good at standing up (with a little assistance) so I captured this video of her to show you how she's just going to walk all over her daddy's heart. You're growing up too fast, girl!!!

Do you like my winter coat??

Thanks to Briggs & Sandy Beadell for giving Evie this adorable winter coat :-)

Evie at Play

Evie has recently started interacting with her toys. Her favorite is her play gym. She'll lay on this for an hour and coo and bat and grab the toys overhead. Sometimes she'll roll to her side and think about going on her tummy, but she's not quite there yet. Blake recorded the video above the other night when she was playing. Enjoy!

Our Anniversary

For our 5th wedding anniversary on Nov. 8, Blake's parents came to babysit Evie so we could get away for the night. We went to Marianna and explored the Florida Caverns State Park and stayed at the Hinson House Bed & Breakfast. When we decided to go out to dinner, we didn't realize Jackson County was a partially dry county so ended up at the Ruby Tuesday drinking Miller Lights. We still had a great time and Evie's Mallard grandparents had a ball taking care of her overnight. Thank you Dan & Dorene!

Bonding with Daddy

Blake has been making sure Evie wears all of her silly booties before she outgrows them.


Playing Lego Batman


Having just celebrated my 5th wedding anniversary this past Saturday (Nov. 8), I'd like to give a "shout out" to my wonderful husband. Blake has been a wonderful support throughout my entire pregnancy, post-partum period and especially now that I've gone back to work. He does the dishes in the evening (a task he detests) so that I can relax and enjoy Evie's bedtime routine. He dresses her in the morning so that I have time to dress myself. And on the weekends he loves to play video games with her when he wakes up so that Mommy can sleep in a little. Thank you, honey, for being such a great husband, friend and father :-)
