Eas(y)ter

It is hard to believe I haven't posted anything about Easter yet. You might especially be surprised when you find out I only took one picture; it's pretty sad. I was too busy following Evan around to make sure that he found things and put them in his basket. After he found the first egg, he just wanted to open it and eat what was inside. He needed lots of encouragement to find more so that Audrey didn't get them all. We also did other Eastery stuff like dye eggs and make sugar cookies, but I of course didn't take pictures. Here is the one picture I did take.

The Next Holiday

Happy Valentines Day! Better late than never. Audrey gets very excited for any holiday really. She loved dressing up for her party at preschool and she couldn't wait to show everyone her hair.

Audrey cried a lot when she found out she wouldn't be able to go to preschool on St. Patrick's Day. Even telling her that we would be at DisneyWorld instead did not console her. So we don't have any pictures to share from that holiday. Hopefully our vacation and Easter pictures will soon follow.

Happy New Year

I know I am way behind. I really want to post on my blog more regularly, but it just doesn't seem to happen. For now, I will share how we rang in the new year.
Audrey cried a lot because her head was too small for her hat.

Colby slept (not at all surprising) and he was very ornery about me taking his picture.
I tried to get Evan to wear a hat, but was not successful.

180 Degree Turn

So for a while I had a problem with Evan not wanting to get dressed and taking his clothes and diaper off. The solution: he was sentenced to wear a onesie all day, every day. Now we seem to have the opposite problem; he wants to wear clothing that doesn't really fit him or should really be worn outside. See for yourself.

Bad News

Well I've been thinking that this could happen anyday and on Monday it did. Evan has figured out how to climb out of his crib. Audrey and Evan were playing in his crib and Audrey got out so she could go get some of her stuffed animals to put in there. I followed her into her room because she wanted me to help carry them and a few seconds later Evan walked in. So I took him back to his crib to see how he did it, especially so quietly. Audrey was only 18 months when she figured out how to escape, although she would just lean forward over the bar and go head first. Evan definitely has a much safer way to get out. The good news to this story is that he still goes right to sleep when we put him down at night or for his nap and he doesn't climb out when he wakes up. We're keeping our fingers crossed he keeps that up.

Silly Stringophobia

Yet again we have found something else that Evan is afraid of. Although Colby really should not have sprayed it on his face.

Pop-Up Bookophobia

While I think grassophobia has the potential to become a word one day, I don't think pop-up bookophobia does. It may seem cruel, but I continue to like to get videos of Evan screaming. The other night I was reading books to Audrey and suddenly Evan started screaming for no obvious reason. I realized that he had found the now not so secret stash of pop-up books hidden in Audrey's room. Every time he opened one of the books, he just got so scared. I couldn't help but grab my camera.

Check back later for silly stringophobia.
