Family


Three new things

Eva's had a big week! She is now scooting around on the floor going after the toys she can't reach. She's not exactly crawling yet, but she's been getting up on her hands and knees and swaying back and forth, trying to figure out what to do next. She can really get around the room now, so it's probably time for us to put up the gate for the stairs.

She's also pulling herself into the sitting position frequently after i lay her down on her belly to take a nap. She won't just go to sleep- she has to sit up, and then she gets stuck! haha, it's hilarious! Sometimes when i come in to help her out, she'll be sitting there, leaning forward as far as she can, trying to get her face to rest on the bed while she's still sitting. Too funny.

She's pulled herself up once from sitting to standing, and we looked over proudly to see her standing up holding onto one of her toys. (see the picture below). The last picture is Eva with the wet wipes. Twice now i've looked over to see her having a hay day pulling them all out. Why are kids always more interested in the "non toy" toys rather than the real toys?



A couple more...


Kids in Laos

We've been going through lots of Lao pictures recently, and I'm finding myself missing different things. So i decided i want to start posting a few pictures regularly. The kids especially caught my eye this time as i was looking at pictures again. Maybe it's because i'm a mom now, and i'm trying to imagine what it'll be like over there with Eva- who she'll play with, how she'll spend her time, what she'll wear. Aren't the kids adorable??
