M8: Big news!

Eve learned how to crawl. Finally! I've been crawling for a long time (Mom says over two months), but Eve's just been able to sit and scooch a little bit, but last night, after we were all back together Eve figured it out.

I think it's because we finally spent the day apart, so she had some time to really think about what needed to be done, instead of just always watching me. She crawls differently, too. I use my forearms to move, which Mom says is an army crawl, whatever that means. But Eve moves her hands and plops them down. She also kinda tucks her left leg up a little, so she's not very fast yet, but I know she'll get better.

But, Mom is back to work again, so out schedule has been all changed around again. Monday we were home with Dad, and Tuesday and Wednesday we were were with Wendy. Tuesday was a difficult day because I had forgotten how much fun Wendy is, plus there's her new baby, Langdon, who cries all day long because of his acid reflux, so it's kinda noisy, but he's just a little baby, so it's probably good that we're there so Eve and I can show him how to do things next.

On Friday Wendy forgot she had a wedding to go to, so instead Mom and Dad split us up. I went with Mom to work and Eve went with Dad. It was mostly boring. We were in the gym at school, which is a really big room, but Mom hardly paid attention to me at all; she was busy stuffing envelopes. She had helpers, which was good, because they played with me, but by the end of the day I needed a bottle and a nap, and Mom just kept working on envelopes. I even fell over a couple times and was crying and all she did was say 'five more minutes, Mae'.

FINALLY she picked me and I was able to fall asleep for awhile, until we walked over to the rectory. Then Fr. Pat and Msgr. Gunn played with me and I showed them how I can walk when Mom helps me, and how I can crawl; they seemed very impressed.

I ate a good dinner, too, lots of sweet potatoes and peaches. Yesterday I also really liked the yogurt, I hope Mom remembers that and gives it to me again today. We're getting ready for Suzy the Duck Day up in Lodi. Dad is already gone, even though there;s a thunderstorm, because he's selling food at it. Mom's going to dress us up in onesies that have ducks on them and we're going to go to our second parade and see everyone from church.

The thunderstorm is ok, I guess. It scares the dogs, though. Bailey's whining right now, which gets kinda annoying after 30 minutes. I better go, though, because Mom's getting the food out of the fridge.

Sorry it took so long since I last posted, but when Mom was home with us I didn't want to miss out on a minute of playing with her!
