 What is it about hotel beds that make kids want to jump?

Chad's favorite book as a child was "Pat the Bunny" and Evy seems to love it just as much.  The other night when Chad came home from work and sat in the floor with Evy, she brought the book to him and sat in his lap so he could read it to her.  It was a very sweet time for me.

First Steps

This past week Evy has learned to stand up on her own without any assistance.  She has even taken a couple of steps without holding on to anything.  Tonight Evy took 3 steps!

Have you seen the movie "Life As We Know It"?  When the baby begins taking steps the father figure in the movie pushes her down to stop her from walking.  Part of me wants to do this.  Is that bad?  While it's fun to see her grow and learn new things, I'm so sad that she is about to walk, because that means she is no longer my baby, but will be my TODDLER!  Really?!?  I am still in denial that she is 1 let alone that she will be walking any day now.

 

Hugs

Evy hugs just about anything...her stuffed animals, her toys, her books, her diapers, and best of all, us.  She was hugging her books that other night and I told her to hug herself.  She looked at me and then did this.

Isn't that just so sweet!  I know you want one of Evy's hugs...they are pretty awesome.
