Look-A-Likes?

As Darcy's personality and appearance begin to take shape, people (we're not pointing any fingers) have begun to speculate who she looks like -- and we don't mean her relatives!

Here are some pictures (in some cases obscure) of what our precious angel has been compared to by her extended family:

"Who do you think I look like?"

"Gizmo?"

"Sloth... Really?!"

"Now, you're just being cruel."

"Okay, I have put on a few pounds..."

"Wait, are you saying I'm the boy or the girl?"

"I look like what?!"

Baby Lucas

This is our newest nephew, Lucas Daniel! He is Ken and Tiffany's son born January 3, 2011. Not surprisingly, this little marshmallow is 90th percentile on all measurements!

"Da-Da"

Darcy is starting to babble. Here she is saying da-da. (Now to work on ma-ma!)

Mirror, Mirror

Darcy just loooves looking at herself in the mirror. Such a girl!

Evie's "Put Me in the Zoo" Party

For Evie's third birthday party, we decided on a Put Me in the Zoo theme (For those who don't know, Put Me in the Zoo is a children's book by Robert Lopshire). Blake's mom and dad and his brother's family came up to Tallahassee to celebrate with us. Here are the highlights...

Blake and Ken took Evie to the pool while we decorated the house...

 

We read the book Put Me in the Zoo, then decorated our own zoo leopards with Evie's Do A Dot Markers.

Here's a video of Evie blowing out the candles:

The aftermath: Wearing one of her new outfits, some dress up jewelry and shoes and playing with her three balloon. This balloon was by far Evie's favorite gift.

Willy Nilly Silly Old Bear...

Our little Evelyn is turning 3 years old next week. To celebrate and as part of our "big girl" iniative (more on that later) we are taking her to her first movie theater experience. This morning she went to see Winnie The Pooh which was the perfect movie for her. Not only does she love all the Pooh movies (we have 7 on DVD that are on heavy rotation!!) but the movie itself is only an hour long with most of the showings in the morning. So we hyped it up as much as we could, hopped in the car and drove on over to the theater for a 10:30 showing. Here are pictures and video of her little outing:

Evie was very excited to see the movie.  She kept saying: "We're gonna see the big screen!"

Anxiously waiting in line for our tickets...

You gotta get your snacks! All that candy was almost too much for her.

This video is of Evie practically pulling me to our theater. 

Snuggling into our seats with some coke and popcorn. 

Evie after the movie was over.  She is truly the sweetest thing ever!!

Evie must have liked having her Daddy take her out cause she wanted to wear his hat.  My sweet princess....
