More 8 Month Photos

This is one of the only times she has gone near the tree...she's just not that into it.

But she does love wires and tags...this is covered up by a chair now. 

And she figured out how to crawl into the dishwasher.

And how to get into Mommy's purse. 

And almost how to climb stairs... 

But she is a good helper at putting away her clean clothes.  Look how she can pull herself up! 

9 Months Old Today

Sorry for the long lapse in blogging...we ran out of free space, but Eddie figured out a way to clear space so we could keep blogging for free a little while longer.  Today Evelyn turns 9 months old!   Here are some pics of her at 8 months.

She is completely mobile now and crawling everywhere!

Here she is trying on her Christmas photo outfit. 

Crawling into her bathroom... 

Crawling in the kitchen... 

In the living room... 

In the hallway... 

Chewing on shoestrings...she still loves to chew on everything in sight. 

Eddie and I bought her this activity center at Costco.  She loves playing with the mailbox. 

She also plays with her ring set. 

Looking out the back door...she is pulling herself up now, too. 

Back to the mailbox. 

And she loves to recycle newspaper! 

7 Month Photos

Here are Evelyn's 7 month photos.  This is the first session where she could sit up on her own.  Again, not too many smiles...she's more interested in checking out the lights and camera to bother smiling, but a lot of cute photos none the less!

Her strawberry Halloween costume.

Baptism Weekend Jam Session

Had to post these kitchen jam session videos from Eddie's phone.  In the 2nd one, Tommy takes a break to check his cell phone;)

Baptism Weekend

Last weekend, we celebrated Evelyn's Baptism as she became a child of God!  It was a fun-filled event with our families.  The Rennie crew got in late Friday night from Texas, but that did not stop any of the children from waking up early.  Grammy and I were both up at 6:30 with the kids...you can see it is still dark outside!

All the Tom Rennie's enjoy tomato soup for lunch. 

Evelyn tries a bagel crisp for the first time. 

Grace watches over her cousin. 

Which hockey stick do I want to eat? 

Helping Grammy make Baptism cupcakes. 

More things to chew on... 

On Saturday night, we ventured downtown to the Big River for dinner.  Grandma and Grandpa joined us there. 

Tommy enjoys his corn dog and shares with Evelyn.

 

Grandma holds Evelyn. 

When we got home, we had a dance party in the kitchen, but I was so busy playing the toy piano that I didn't take any photos:( 

On Sunday morning, Tommy found the LMFAO "Party Rockers" costume that Grammy had put together.  He wore it for breakfast and wanted to wear it to Church...Mommy said no:(

Pap pap gets in on the fun. 

And Evelyn, too! 

Grace was enjoying Goodnight Moon.

The private Baptism was held after the 11am Mass.  Evelyn napped on the way there, so she was in good spirits to be christened!

Waking her up and getting her gown on. 

Eddie has a halo!

Alleluia!

Family Photos

Afterwards we had brunch at LePeep.  It was so delicious we forgot to take any photos!

Back at the house, after naps and football, we relaxed and then went down the street to a Halloween Party at a nearby church.

Evelyn was a strawberry.

Then, books before bed time. 

Monday morning, the Rennie's headed out early.  Here are the sleepy babies...

Uncle Eddie bought delicious donuts! 

Grandma and Grandpa got to spent an extra day with Evelyn before heading out to California

Thanks to everyone for making the trip to Nashville for this special occasion!  Thanks to Pap pap for treating us to dinner and brunch!  It was a great weekend!
