Travel

We are getting set to go to Indi to see Grandma and Grandpa Hirsch and as excited as i am to see the family I am Dreadding the drive.

Missing Evelyn's blog.

Every time i come on here to post i look at Evelyn's blog and miss it. it was so much fun to write and has a lot of information on it. allas i didn't have the time and now i suppose i would have to do one for her and one for William and that seems silly. So instead I will try to keep this one up it's not as fun but i still think looking back at it will be fun.

sugar and spice

Apparently I told William one too many times that girls are made of sugar and spice and everything nice because today at daycare he took a look at one of his girlfriends and took a bite, The poor little girl.

Then on the way out the door Evelyn was goofing around and managed to walk into a wall. She was a bit stunned by the impact but William thought it was hilarious. He cracked up laughing - which i have never seen him do unless we are tickling him or playing peek a boo. I think grandpa would argue that this shows he has grandma's sense of humor.

Crawling

William is officially mobile. somehow he skipped the army crawl stage and went strait to crawling. he however does not go far, yet. I imagine that we will be chasing him around the house before long but for now he seems to only get a few feet. He is also standing amazingly well. He can stand for 4 seconds now (when he want's to) this seems to have occurred over night as he was not standing so well this weekend.

Evelyn is just a riot. on the drive home yesterday I hear
Evelyn: "that car is broken."
Me: "I don't see a broken car."
Evelyn: "that car is broken."
Me: (after noticing the convertible) "Is that car missing something?"
Evelyn: "yes:
Me: "What is that car missing?"
Evelyn: "A top"
Me: "That's right"
Evelyn: "mommy's car has a top, that car has a top, the broken car has no top."

Then after a brief walk

Me: "We need to go inside Evelyn"
Evelyn: "I'm an outside toy."

Sitting up

Evelyn spent the day at Grandma' and Grandpa's and Aunt Sarah and Grandma came to drop her off. As we were sitting chatting and playing in the "playroom" William went from lying on his belly to sitting up on his own! He did this three times in a short period however when I went to grab my camera to take a video he decided he didn't want to do it any more :(

Back seat driver

Evelyn is an excelent back seat driver these days whenever she sees a red light she says "stop there is a red light!" even if it is a mile up she expects you to stop on the spot. this morning was no exception...

Evelyn: "Stop there is a red light!"
Me: "I need to get to the red light before I stop." (the light turns green)
Evelyn: "(horrified gasp) "you didn't stop."

Play time!

Evelyn was cuddeling her poler bear rocking it like a baby. I sat down next to her with my legs out behind her. She looked at me and said "mommy go to sleep?" I said "that's a great idea!" and lied down with my head nest to her and legs behind her. she continued to rock her bear so I put my arm around her back. She said " I'm not a lovey mommy" :)
