We want to encourage creativity and music appreciation in our little girl, so we sat her down at our old, out-of-tune piano and let her plunk away.

Actually, it was pretty awesome.

She's no Chopin (but she is part Polish), but it is great fun to let her sit down and tickle the ivories.

We've been lax in our duty to post new pictures of Evie, or so it's been pointed out to us. We have been taking pictures as Evie tries more things and has more firsts, but getting them from the camera to the computer is the trick.

At 5 months, Evie is growing into a fun little person. She's still just as smiley and happy as ever, but now there's a fuller range of smiles and she's entertained by more things. This is quite fun for us.
