Showing Off Her Legs

Oh yeah? Well what if I scrunch up my nose at you?


It has gotten chilly for our part of the country and that means Evie Lu doesn't get as much time just to run around in bare legs. She moves so much faster when unencumbered by skirts or pants we try to give Evie Lu some bare leg time now and then. Really, with all the insulation she has on those legs you wouldn't think getting cold would be a concern.

I've got socks in both hands and I'm trying to stand. It is too much!


Yesterday Evie Lu stood on her own for two seconds. She let go of the couch and just stood there. I was amazed as I watched Evie Lu balance forward then back before gently lowering to the floor. I've been known to get excited about things that don't really mean much (I am a Cubs fan after all) and this may seem insignificant, but it was exhilarating to see my little girl get a bit closer to walking. Who knows, she may be chasing us around at Christmas.

Guilty? Why would I look guilty? I didn't do anything.

So I'm looking at that last picture and... what? Does she have her right foot somehow sideways under her butt? That's not her hand, so... what kind of weird yoga is that kid doing?

Yep. Our baby is a pretzel. It's a combo crawling-backup with a sideways turn! It does kind of look like she is sitting on top of a disembodied foot.

Hey, I don't know if you guys noticed, but in the second picture, it appears that a bear is playin with your daughter. It may be a tamed bear, but believe you me, those things can turn in an instant. They're wild, after all!
