Eve's second post

I LOVE the pool! At first I didn't think I was going to, because Mommy said "Let's go outside and sit in the pool", but what I heard was, "Let's go sit outside in the pooh." Sitting in pooh is one of my least favorite things to do; not even a minute goes by before I cry to let Mommy and Daddy know I need to have my diaper changed.

But this pool thing is really quite fun. It's like an outside bathtub, but it's all pink and has pretty little bees and flowers on it. Mommy and Daddy took a video of it, too and Mommy helped me to load it up, so if you want to watch, here it is.


As you can see, I especially liked being on my back, because then I could splash both my legs and arms, and since I don't yet have very good control over my arms (Mae is much better at that right now), I liked the feeling; it was like the bath, but we were outside and I really like all the noise and stuff outside.

And today we got to go outside again while Mommy and Daddy worked in the yard and some of our neighbors stopped by to say how cute we were, which Mommy and Daddy always like. We also met our 'down the street' neighbor friend who was born just five days before us. I think I liked her, because when her Daddy held her so we could look at each other she didn't cry. I think I heard Mommy say we'd try to get together soon; that would be fun.

Today I've been trying really hard to work on grabbing things the first time I reach for them, like Mae does, but I still can't quite get it. I try, but usually my hands go to the side of whatever I'm reaching for. Although, I am getting better at grabbing Mr. Moo, which is a good thing because it means I can pull him closer so no one can hear the secrets I tell him.

I am getting at standing up when Mommy and Daddy help me. I know this because Mommy keeps telling me I'm getting stronger and stronger. Then she usually pulls me in for a close hug and kiss (those always feel so nice).

Well, it's getting close to bedtime, so Mommy wants to give me my bedtime bottle. Good night!
