Evyn Potter and the Pogo Stick

Evyn calls these her Potter glasses (even though she has no idea who Harry Potter is):



Book-ing It to Pizza Hut


Evyn earned a free Pizza Hut pizza in their monthly Book It program (each month, Pizza Hut will give schoolkids a pizza coupon for reading 10 books). The C's caught up with us for pizza, wings, and breadsticks.

we love the crayon roll we bought off Etsy!

Andrew the Bruiser knocked a little girl off her feet. That's right, our 8-month-old took on a 3-year-old, and won!

The little girl had wandered over to get a look at Andrew in his high chair, and he grabbed the hood of her jacket. The little girl turned to walk away, but Andrew is crazy strong, and quicker than we could react, he pulled her backward backward and she fell on her rear.
Poor girl! She was fine, but I felt terrible, even as I tried to hide my laughter.



Yes, they really do get along this well... for now, anyway!


Mom was wrong

Last week I wrote that I thought Andrew was going to skip crawling altogether, and go straight to walking.
See, he's crawled a few times in the last 2 1/2 months, but always seemed frustrated by lack of speed, and resumed scooting on his belly (and wow is he fast!)
But yesterday he proved me wrong, by unceremoniously switching from scooting to crawling.

I also wrote that I didn't think he knew what it meant when he was waving "bye-bye." Later that very same day I realized I was wrong - he definitely knows what it means! He's been waving bye to everyone he sees, to me after nursing, to his empty food dish, even when he is dozing off and about to fall asleep.







Andrew's developed a new (and rather comical) way of moving from point A to point B. When he wants to change location, he puts whatever he's playing with in his mouth, and goes! This isn't 'kid chewing and moving at the same time'... he actually uses his mouth to carry his belongings around, like a puppy dog.

Oh, and can anyone figure out what his favorite toy in the whole world is? (See last 3 pictures).
