Our Little Waddler

So Evan is becoming more and more brave in his attempts to walk. Although he still prefers crawling...he'd win a crawling race for sure, he's giving much more effort in his quest to walk. Over the last couple of days, E will be standing up, holding onto something (like a piece of furniture or tumbling equipment), he sees something that he wants and he'll start to walk to it. Sometimes he makes it there by walking and sometimes, or should I say more times than not, he walks about 5 steps and plops right down and crawls. Smart little guy...he knows he's can get to and from things faster by crawling!

E said "yes" to Dave yesterday morning when they were eating breakfast together. He also nodded his head yes while he said it. Still not signing the please, thank you's, and excuse me's yet...lol. But hoping that comes shortly.

Recently E started going to one nap. Four out of the five days he only took one nap. As of yesterday he is taking just an afternoon one. It will be interesting to see if he will keep this up. Honestly, I was a bit worried how it was all going to pan out until yesterday. He woke up at 6:30a, I tried putting him down at 9a for his morning nap, he laid in his crib for a half hour. Didn't go to sleep so I took him out. We went to Family Grounds to play for a couple of hours, headed home and I put him down for an afternoon nap at 1p and he slept for an hour and a half. It worked out fabulous! Hope today will work out the same (fingers crossed)!

We have a busy weekend ahead 2 birthday parties, 2 more showings (had 1 yesterday too). We are hopeful that one of these days we either get a second showing (enough of the first showings-we've had over 20 already) or an offer. Come on already!!!! The cleaning up for them is starting to wear us out. It's a lot more difficult getting prepped for them with a dog and a child. Jeez.
