1.5 YEARS!





1.5 years old for this sweet little girl and we couldn't be more proud. Its been a real rough month of February for the Doyle household health - some serious stomach bugs and other ailments have been kicking around - one of which I almost had to place a call for an exorcism to help pull the demon from Mrs. Evening. Despite that, we are all in great spirits. Evie is in an especially sharp, mobile, goofy stage which has been really enjoyable. At times the girl seems to have a better vocabulary than mine.



We've seen a few good upstate NY storms whip through, but agree across the board that spring will be welcome. Sledding, shoveling and winter hiking have been good times and all, but some warmth and dry sidewalks will be welcome.


Aside from her runny noses and upside down stomach, Evening is doing well health wise: sleeping like a champ, having a strong heart (already knew that one) and excelling in her growth. She continues to be so tall that I half expect the Doc to pull out a letter of intent for us to commit her to enrollment at a major D-I Women's Hoops school. We put some of those skills to work this weekend at the grocery store this weekend where Evie and her old man were all over a March Madness display - dribbling, dunking, knocking chips off the display. The staff at Wegmans loves us.



We will head up in early April to Strong for a sedated echo cardiogram which no one is looking forward to, though all signs are very positive.
