Hands Full

 

Can't believe it's been a month since the last post -- Time is FLYIN' !!

I've had my hands full, working from home, tackling some last projects on the homefront, and trying to sort out the best daycare situation for Evelyn when I go back to the office full-time.  By some miracle we got into this great little church daycare that will give Evey a nurturing and loving environment when we can't be with her. Huge relief.  I can sleep at night now.

I'm not even sure where to begin on the updates -- You would not recognize this little go-getter.  Evey is a bundle of energy, and she uses it in Full Effect.  The universe has definitely sent a counter-balance to the generally quiet ways of Evey's momma & poppa...We are in for some excitement with this little one.

Talking?  Non-stop chatter, cooing, squealing - you name it, we sing that tune.

Sitting up?  No problem.  Got it mastered.  Except when she decides to suddenly, and for no apparent reason, sling her body backwards - in which case she either bonks her head on the floor, or is saved by the strategically placed boppy (momma's a quick study).

Standing?  Scary, but true, she LOVES to practice standing.  All we have to do is hold onto her hands and she stands firmly, huge gummy grin spread across her face, with some hip wobbling thrown in for drama.  She will stand up from a seated position (5 months old and already doing impressive squats.  holy moly), and gets very frustrated when we don't figure out that it's "standing time" and try to lay her down somewhere.

Everyone who meets her falls immediately under her spell -- she's a total charmer.  Even the photographer was cooing over her (she wanted to grab his camera, but opted to get a grip on his finger instead).  We'll see what happens when she hits the "strangers are scary" phase (around 9 months I guess?).  We're in no hurry of course -- these past 5 months have been too much fun -- trying to soak up every precious bit of it that we can...
