Hi Evie

Hi Ev,

Sorry it has been so long since I wrote - life is so crazy busy!!

You are so cute!!! You are just about 15 months and a really big girl. You have the cutest smile and are very independent. You like to play with your toys and are starting to give Erin a run for her money. She use to be able to steal your toys and you did not seem to mind. But, now you grab them back and stand up for yourself - YEAH!! You walk everywhere and have been doing so for a good month or so. You enjoy tickling your sisters feet in the car seats - she laughs and that makes you laugh. You don't really say any official words yet, but make all kinds of sounds - including the strange devil noise!! You caused a bit of mischief the other day when Grandma Irene was babysitting. There is a banister near our dining area that separates the dining area from the stairwell. You managed to squeeze your head (and you've got a big melon!) through the banister and proceeded to scale across the banister - above the stairwell with nothing protecting you! Thankfully when Grandma asked you to come back you just went right to her and were safe and sound - thank god!! Boy did we get a call about that one!!

I can't express in words how much I love you and your sister. You are both so very special - and so completely different! I look forward to seeing what you'll be doing in the next few months - and beyond!!

Love, Mom
