Just to prove that I can post a short blog, here we go!

We've been enjoying walks in the evening this summer, usually down to the UPS campus and back, just about 20-30 minutes. The other evening, on our way back, Evelyn was getting antsy in her stroller-which is pretty normal-she doesn't like to sit too long, that one! So we took her out and let her run around a bit. She looked pretty much like a cute pint sized drunken sailer cause she is still pretty wobbly, although much faster, and even when she is staying on her feet she veers off first one direction and then the other, heading to whatever catches her eye. She definitely enjoys her taste of freedom and seems to have no fear of getting far away from us. She just takes off! But her desire for freedom often gets tangled up in her feet and she falls over (which actually happens to a lot of us adults too). And fall she did, surprisingly hard, resulting in her first skinned knee. Which I thought was very sweet : ) She thought it was very odd though, and kept saying "Knee! Knee!" and poking at it. She was really upset, more just puzzled, screaming more when we put her back in the stroller than when she fell. Here's to a childhood full of skinned knees!
