We Have A Crawler!

Well, Evelyn's officially a crawler as of Saturday--she took off after a dryer sheet and is now freely exploring where she wants (unless mama or dada stops her from going where she shouldn't!). We're going to have to get a gate up for the stairs soon! Another first is a real word: Dada! She was squealing at a picture of him in her room on Monday and I asked "Who is that, Evelyn?" She said "Dada, Dada." It was quite fun. She likes to use her little pointer finger to show us what she's looking at.

This week seems to be a momentous one as she also obeyed us with the 'no touch' comment for the first time--3 times in one day! Now we know she understands that! But she still struggles with it as the next day wasn't so good:) She used a fork today to feed herself, with some help getting the peach bits onto it and was quite proud of herself as she started clapping after each bite, causing her fork to fly which confused her a little.

This picture is when we visited a family pumpkin farm in Enumclaw two weekends ago. She had a fun time helping daddy pick out the perfect pumpkins, petting the animals, blowing some big bubbles, playing with her friend Caleb and watching mommy do the apple sling shot.
