A Weekend of Firsts

Last weekend Evie had a couple of "firsts". We took her swimming for the first time and she absolutely LOVED it! I figured she would because she loves her bathes, but it was still great to see her having so much fun in the pool too. We just went to our rec center's indoor pool that's really great for kids. I'm looking forward to a summer filled with swimming! And she's going to have a blast at WI Dells later this summer with the Johnson clan!
Her other "first" was that on Sunday after I put her down in her crib for a nap, I checked in on her a bit later because she had been gabbing and not sleeping. I opened the door to her room to find her STANDING in her crib!! That was the first time she pulled herself up! I couldn't believe it! I set her down and watched her pull herself right back up again. She's such a strong little bugger! And because she's so tall her head is already at the top of the side of the crib.

Her other favorite tricks lately are clapping (which she does a LOT and is adorable), feeding herself the bottle, waving hi/bye, and her favorite toy is still the spatula. Louie also likes that she plays with it so much as you can see in video below. They do this a lot and it's super funny. And yes, Evie's laughing not crying. And never mind her tipping over in the end, she was fine... no tears, I promise.
