Eve was more than happy tonight. She was
bouncing, laughing, clapping and just thrilled to be alive! It
was hysterical. She is also super mobile now, between rolling,
crawling a few feet at a time, and perfecting her GI Joe crawl.
I put a plate of pistachios on the floor last night (just
putting it down for a second) and she did a snazzy launch move
that landed her about 2ft from where she started… right on my
plate!! And she laughs and laughs. She can also get up on her
knees to reach things, so we regularly find her kneeling in
front of the hearth playing with the toys up there. I think she
had a growth spurt in the past few days, both in size and
development and skills. I had my first full day with my daycare
baby today and she’s TINY compared to Eve. I caught myself
almost putting Eve on the floor with Lex and telling them both
to follow me into the kitchen while I carried the baby. She’s
mobile, but not that mobile… yet! Actually, she could make it
into the kitchen pretty easily, I’m just not sure she’d stay
focused that long. Probably get sidetracked a few dozen times
along the way. She’s such a joy. Then, after being more than
happy for awhile tonight, we gave her the pacifier and put her
in bed and she went right to sleep. How did we get so lucky
with her?? :)
