Again, so much to say and not enough time to write it! Avelyn has been down for nearly an hour now so I’ll see what I can pound out.
I can’t believe how much more I love this child everyday. I didn’t think it was possible and then, poof! She grows a little taller, pops a brand new word out of her mouth, busts a move and I sigh and think how on earth did I get so lucky to have this kid? She’s utterly amazing. And growing up so fast. Do you know what happened last week? DO YOU!? In case you missed the World News Report here it is – I broke down and HAD HER HAIR CUT. Her FIRST haircut. LIKE ONE WHOLE INCH, PEOPLE!!!!
Before. After. Totally different, right? I’m torn between thinking it’s not that much hair and she looks exactly the same (in which case WHY did I do it) and screaming OH. EM. GEE. It’s like I shaved her head or something because her hair! Look at my baby’s hair!! It’s gooooooone! Or maybe it just feels that way. Tough call.
On the fertilization front, I grow more and more convinced everyday that adding to our family is the right decision for us. I look at my Hobo growing up and can’t help but get excited about what another one might be like. Avelyn tends to agree, showing what a great big sister she might one day make by taking such good care of her baby…
Of course she also throws the baby on the ground, into the crib, out of the stroller… Hurling is pretty much her mode of transportation for “bay-bee”. (She’s yet to figure out this “name your baby” thing). Kevin continually wonders aloud how a new little person might survive with our Amazonian first born running amok. I’ve begun to wonder that myself given how much she enjoys “workin’ out” with her dad these days.
I’ll be damned if that’s not the cutest push up I’ve ever seen. Also, does anyone else notice the high waters? He he he.
Anyway. We paint. We play. We build houses for homeless-people. We read. We are sweet. We are crazy. We know how to rock. But above all, we know how to dance.
*The title that seemed most appropriate after reading this post.
Hobo’s dancing knocks my socks off. It’s that great.
And on the adding to your family front-DO IT. Please.
do it! and dude, where did you get her hair cut @ a toy store? that place looks awesome
A haircut? OMG… She is so adorable, no trimming, teasing, hairspray, glitter, boufant or pony tail can curb that adorable little face! Some faces are meant to be chiseled in marble… Let’s hope she never runs off with an artist… LOL
and dancing… I think she got that from your dad. He always did the egyptian thing on the dance floor! LOL— Missing you both!
