And now we are both 31...

So I wanted to do a separate post in honor of Greg and I both being 31. Its amazing that 31 feels so much older, not to mention I feel so much older now that Greg is 31 too.

Greg had an amazing birthday thanks to generous family and friends. Here's some highlights from the many birthday celebrations we had last week to celebrate our main man in the Perreault House.

Grandma Carri and Lenie made Daddy cupcakes!

Evangeline wanted to get her daddy a "hair bow" which is actually a bow tie for his birthday.

Three birthday cupcakes for three decades.

A sombrero at Agave.

Post Agave Ice Cream Cake with 30ish candles and help from Evangeline to blow them out.

Scaring ourselves to death in the air at the City Museum.

Daddy and his girls ride the City Museum Ferris Wheel.

An end to our St. Louis adventure, Daddy his girls and his Bro Dan.

18 month Update

Tomorrow we leave for two summer trips. Monday Evangeline finally had her 18 month appointment and did very well. She's grown up so quickly from a baby to a toddler. She is now 25 pounds and 32.5 inches tall.

Playing with our friends in the backyard.

Little mommy, Evangeline loves babies right now

Pool playdate with her Twin friends

She's been using a lot of new words including "outside, flowers, broccoli (for broccoli--we have broccoli growing in the garden, coffee and tea if Greg or I are drinking them. 

Loves "colors" and "stickers" right now.

She's also great at identifying her favorite book and television characters and asking for them. These include Super "Wyatt"from Super Why, Elmo, Cookie, -Phia (Sophia the First), Sully (from Monster's Inc. --even though she's never seen the movie), Ralph, Felix and Glitch (from Wreck it Ralph), as well as Babies, Pigs, Cows and Monkeys--from a variety of books. She also recognizes specific places we visit on a regular basis with words:

1) When we pass the church and I say "Church" she says "slide" and "Swing" because of the church playground.
2) When we pass Panera Bread in the Mall or Downtown she asks for a "muffy" or "water"
3) When we come home she says "House" "dada" and "wylie"
4) When we visit the farmer's market she asks for "Slide" or "cookie" (there is an old plastic slide at the farmer's market).
5) She also recognizes her friends and their houses or the places we routinely see them. This has been difficult for me since two of her friends recently moved away.

She's also really into "colors" and "stickers" and asks for them routinely. Her artwork has gotten so much better in the past two weeks : ) She even made some masterpieces for her grandpa's for Father's Day.

We'll have a lot to post here in the next few weeks. For now here's some photos of our recent adventures at home in CoMo.
