Did you want fries with that?

A new bar and grill just opened up by our house and we thought we'd get our family vacation started early, and go check it out. It's so fun taking Everlee  out to eat, watching her explore new places, faces, objects, and foods. On the menu tonight was grilled chicken, cottage cheese, and a whole French fry!! Daddy spoiled someone with more than just a taste of a fry, he gave her the entire fry, and she loved it!!! Nice treat for Evs, and not something that will not become a staple in her diet. But, it's vacation time, and everything in moderation!

What a great dinner!! Thanks daddy for taking your girls out to eat!!!

Happy 11 months

Happy 11 month bday to our sweet girl. Monthly pics are getting harder and harder to take, as Everlee is so squirmy wormy. 

Big girl toothbrush from Auntie Brenda keeping her still for a split second.

Off comes the sticker

And smarty pants takes the initiative to put it up on her blanket. Upside down, but good attempt. 

Oh so serious

Now time to make silly faces!

Just can't get enough of being vertical.

Lots of fun things happened from 10 months to 11 months. Making chicken sounds, lion roars, blinking, showing you where her tummy, feet, nose, head, and mouth are, recognition of animals, pointing to what she wants, saying bye bye, bye bye da da, papa, up, she's running in her walker and running pushing her walker, crawling up onto her favorite pink chair, then fearlessly dive bombing down, taking a couple steps by herself, eating three meals a day, and so many other little things. It's pure enjoyment watching her, and we absolutely love spending time teaching, playing, and anticipating the her next accomplishment. She is just so stinkin fun!  As always, can't wait for the next month, it will be a BIG one!

Proud to be a Cyclone

Way to cyclones!! Sweet 16 baby !!

What a heart stopper!! 

Can't wait to cheer them on, on Friday!

Mommys Little Helper

While trying to fold, organize, and put laundry away,  Everlee thought she would join in and help. Help entertain that is!

Now this makes doing laundry a titch more enjoyable :)

Fun with friends

 Everlee had a fun week playing with new friends Harper, Aubrey and Jaylen on Wednesday. Then playing with her old bestie Maci on Friday.  Not to mention lots and lots of fun at cousins Chole and Coopers house on Tuesday and Thursday. What a busy, action packed week! 

Future babysitter Aubrey. 

Sisters Aubrey and Jaylen entertaining Evs while we were at lunch. Everlee couldn't keep her hands off of Jaylen's golden locks. 

Mommys friend Wendy's niece Harper, who is 2 1/2 weeks older than Everlee. So fun to see girls so close in age play. 

So fun reading with my bestie Maci. Aaaaand we gotta get our signature yearly Kneifl toboggan pic. Evs is practicing for our family pictures on her first birthday. 

A little catching up

The past month has been full of changes, and ridiculously busy in the Kneifl household. Everlee has had the crud 2 times in the past three weeks, mom and dad went to Mexico for one week(mayyyy have been a few days too long), Evs had feeding changes and nap changes due to us being gone and darn daylight savings time, she had a change in daycare, and peanut is simply just growing. 

First breathing treatment in the doctors office for her bronchiolitis. Not a happy girl.

Not too bad when you can assist, lick the mask, and watch the baby channel.

Sickie snuggles with Grandma Jan

Trying to smile thru the gunk on her 10 month b day.

Looks like this idea doesn't work anymore.

Staying still for pics only lasts so long, guess this pose will do.

 Mexico

So great to have time together! <3

The view from right outside our room. We splurged and had a swim up suite! Two steps out of our patio were loungers, that were submerged in our private pool.  What a great way to get the morning started. 

Back home to our favorite baby. We sure did miss her, more than we could have imagined!! Big thanks to everyone that took time out of their schedules to stay with Everlee! It was reassuring knowing she was in great care, and happy. 

Also a big thanks to Auntie Hollie, and the Smith family! They have opened their home to Everlee when Mommy has to work.  It's so fun to see Evs playing, hugging, sharing, and growing up with her cousins and Aunt. Talk about peace of mind! The search for the perfect nanny is over. There's nothing like family members taking care of your child, and the love they give :) 

See how happy she is!! A room full of cousin Chloe's pink toys = heaven for Everlee!
