My babies were all dressed up with nowhere to go today. I couldn't resist putting them in some of their new clothes on this beautiful day. The weather was 70's with a slight breeze and even thogh the pollen count was high we went our for a little while. The kids seem to be doing much better with Claritin in their system. We went to the park yesterday for a picnic lunch and had a great time just being a family. It is getting easier now that Katherine can do so much on her own. But the independence definitely has its challenges. She is confident in what she wants and is clear about what she doesn't. We are working on it and I have cut back from a lot of my activities to be able to focus in on the two of them for a season. We were on our way to the park tonight and she said. I will make friends at the park mommy, I will say excuse me, do you want to play with me? and they will say Yes we want to play with you. That will be fun mommy."
Evan has been communicating a lot lately and his favorite thing is to point and say "dat". He always gets a big smile when Daddy gets home from work and crawls toward him as fast as he can. He eats a ton! I pay for it when diaper time comes but it is wonderful not buying/making baby food anymore. He used to love swinging on the swings but now that he is more mobile he signs "all done" to me and put his hands up to be picked up so that he can go and play on the jungle gym and slide. AMazing! Cars are a highlight of his life and he says"rroomm, rroom"
Thanks to our friends Britt and Becca he is working on the fire engine sound now as well they gave him a whole rescue pack of cars.
