perhaps one is enough
last friday brighton (our tuesday share partner) spent the afternoon with evie and i while his mom worked. brighton is a mellow guy and easy to have around. when you're staying in, that is.
getting he and evie down to the stroller to go out to the park turned out to be a tad stressful. the kids did not enjoy being carried down to the stroller and the volume was on full force for both of them. i was in a full on flop sweat before we made it out of the house into the glorious summerlike weather we were having.
fortunately both kids mellowed out as soon as we got going. then when we got to the park, all of the other moms pitched in to help out. i am very thankful for our little friday group.
i suppose that should be my lesson for the day instead of one kid is probably enough...

a very special night
last night paloma and her mommy (dana) stayed for dinner, and afterwards the girls had a bath together. after all of the fun, evie was wiped out and hit the sheets around 7:45.
it looks like the fun and exhaustion was good for her, cause she slept until almost 8 am. mike and i didn't know what to do with ourselves.
she's in a most excellent mood this morning. it's amazing what 12 hours of sleep does for her!

mmm. produce.
we just joined a csa and got our first box of produce direct from eatwell farms. everything looks absolutely great. fresh and organic - and no trip to the grocery store. now i just need to figure out how the heck to prepare fava beans.

world's most observant mom
so this morning i decided to check on the progress of a tooth that has been coming in for the last week. it's on the bottom left, and the last of her eight front teeth. i put my finger in her mouth, and lo and behold, not only was that tooth there, but there were two fully formed molars in the back. how'd i miss that?
she's had some cranky nights of late, and folks had mentioned to me that molars are the worst, so i've been dreading their arrival. meanwhile, they were there all along. i am so on top of things.
new word this morning. not sure if i'm just projecting, or she really meant to say it. she looked down my shirt, stuck her hand in and said "boob". as mike said, most kids learn their eyes, ears or nose first. not evie, her first body part ID'd was my boob. surely this is yet another sign of her genius.
speaking of boobs, i think that other than pointing them out this morning, she might really be done with the breast feeding. she didn't nurse at all this morning, and has skipped a number of days all together in the past couple of weeks. she does go for the occasional suckle some mornings, but mostly, she'd rather drink her milk from a bottle.
now i just wait for my boobs to return to their former glory and perkiness. don't worry. i'm not holding my breath.
oh, and i can't remember if i mentioned this yet, but evie tipped the scales at over 22 lbs at her one year appointment. she jumped up two lines on the growth charts. i've said it before many times, but i'll say it again - my girl likes to eat!

year one, in a nutshell
we put together a book with the highlights of evie's first year, i guess it's her baby book. turns out it was easy to export the book to a little movie, so i uploaded it. the text is pretty grainy in this video, but i'd be happy to show you the book any ol' time!
