Hats and Shoes

Hannah's favorite game right now is dress up. She puts everything on her head that could possibly fit there, and she loves to try on shoes. It doesn't matter whose. She tries on mine, Ben's and even Evelyn's. And when we go places and there is a front entrance with shoes, she's in heaven. Until I stop her from losing everyone else's shoes, of course.

These are some of the pictures I've taken this month. It's so much fun to take pictures of my babies.

Evelyn's First (Sort of) Walk

I've taken Evelyn on walks before, but only in our travel system stroller. She's been in her carseat with her head covered the whole time. This is the first time she's been able to see what is going on. I remember when we took Hannah for her first walk. She stared silently, not moving, straight ahead the whole time. Hannah is like that. She has to warm up to a new situation and analyze it before she'll react.

Evelyn, on the other hand, looked interestedly around for a short while and then fell asleep. Our walk was only a few minutes long, since it was only six degrees outside. Ben thought it was a beautiful day. It hasn't been that warm in a long time. But we didn't count on the cold wind that blew across our faces, and we had to return earlier than we would have liked.

I love this picture. The girls look so cute together!

We Just Can't Get Enough of Each Other!

I love the way Hannah loves to hug and kiss Evelyn. Evelyn loves it, too. She loves any attention that Hannah gives her, no matter what kind it is. I really hope they will be able to grow up feeling close to each other. My greatest hope is that they will be best friends. Aren't they just so adorable?

Where did Hannah go?

This is Evelyn searching for her playmate (Hannah of course). Hannah had walked away and Evelyn was trying to see her for as long as possible. It's so much fun to watch them together. There isn't anything I would rather see.

By the way, I'm glad I don't have to put my body into contortions like that just to see what is going on!

Look! I'm Flying!

Okay, so Evelyn is much more active than Hannah was. I know mostly all babies "fly" but Hannah never did. It's so much fun to see Evelyn doing it. I left her on the floor for a long time, taking pictures. By the end she was zonked. It was hard to take pictures since Hannah kept on wanting me to take hers instead.
