Evelyn Grabbing

Just recently the girls started grabbing things within their reach. Here's Evelyn grabbing her porcupine elephant (that's what David named it) on her activity mat.

Daddy Scaring Sylvia

This is a hoot--Sylvia scares easily and her eyes get real big. While she sits in this kick and play bouncey seat all the time, it scared her today. Evelyn is also discovering her new rainforest bouncey, which has a similar cause and effect thing going on, but the effect is caused by her touching little toys. The other is triggered by her feet. She understood how it worked only a few minutes after sitting in it. Very cute.

Evelyn's Laugh

David was getting Evelyn ready for her bath the other night and was humming the theme to the Pink Panther and Evelyn laughed! I tried it the next day and it worked again -- here it is captured on video. It's such a cute laugh!

Second Cousins Visit




The girls' second cousins, Laura and RJ, came to visit this weekend from Philly. Meredith spent all her summers as a kid up in Michigan with Laura (her first cousin on her Mom's side). There were a lot of memories created together and we are so happy we were able to create a few with Laura and her husband this weekend. We went to the American History Museum, David then took us on a driving tour of DC, Arlington and Old Town, Alexandria, and then had dinner (actually made it at home!). They also brought with them adorable fall shirts and some neat-o bath toys.
