Two pictures for your Tuesday morning. They light is a little dark, but look at this pretty face! (I'm talking about Evelyn. She is sooooo cute.) We have been slacking in the picture-taking department.
I had just come home from work and Carol took a few pictures. Later that night Jon discovered the most fun game ever: laundry basket slalom! I took a video on my phone but I can't convert the format to one that is postable. Anyway, Evelyn sits in the laundry basket, Jon puts a towel underneath it, and they slide up and down the hallway. After a few rounds our little daredevil thought sitting was for BABIES and she is a BIG GIRL and she needs to stand up. So she stood in the laundry basket, holding on to the edges, while Jon ran up and down the hallway. It was pretty funny.
Evelyn really is a daredevil. She still loves stairs, she tries to climb up everything, she even goes down stairs now. If it is one step, she'll go face-first on her belly. If it is multiple steps she has figured out how to turn aound and go backward. Makes my heart stop every time because I think she is going to faceplant, but she hasn't yet. Oh, sure, she's tumbled down a stair or two (the only ones she plays on are three high), but she's ok.
My mom always told stories about my brother and I, how we would escape all the time and get into mischief, how we would run in opposite direction, crawl up the refrigerator or any other such nonsense. I thought those stories were always so funny. Now, well now I think they are more like cautionary tale. "This is what you did to me...turnabout is fair play!!"
My busy baby.
