No longer a Bobbler

A short post, because I am still waiting to get the pictures from New York.

First, we left for New York leaving behind our little bobbler in the capable hands of her Grandma Lew. But she was a bobbler; walking a little, but mostly crawling. When we got back we had a bonafide toddler on our hands. She crawls a little, but she is much more interested in walking now. Soon she'll be running. When we see her walking down the hall or acros the kitchen (she looks like frankenstein...it's adorable), we say "Hello, toddler!" I feel like Evelyn changed a lot while we were gone. From crawling to walking, but also her jaw got more square and she got a lot sassier. Her cries have new tones in them, and she screeches and yells more, too. She grew up. Our little toddler.

Second, I am really excited about the movie adaptation of Where the Wild Things Are. I know my mom told me at some point that the book was very controversial when it first came out. People tried to ban it from schools. My mom got grief for reading it to her kids. I have no idea why. Baffling. But I hope the movie lives up to my expectations. It looks beautiful. Here is an interview with director Spike Jonze.
