Evi Eats Everything!

Evi has peas in her hair, squash on her arm and applesauce up her nose. Hello, solid foods! The rate of her development is astounding us; she sits up on her own and flails her arms about as if to happily display her new talent. “Watch me, parents!” We are watching, baby…we can hardly take our eyes off of you! She scoots, and the threat of crawling looms dangerously near. She popped her first teeth this week, two of them, which adds a fun new twist to the aforementioned solid foods, as she chomps down on the spoon with each new spoonful…eating takes a while around here these days.

As for the adult-like figures, we are busily (and happily, gleefully, rambunctiously!) packing our apartment in preparation for the much anticipated flee across the country. Oh, didn’t I tell you? We are moving back to the NW! Why? Bird is employed! As a PA! In Vancouver! The job pays money! And benefits! Four weeks of vacation! So many exclamation points! ‘Tis true, though, all of it. We will be packing up our scant (after a purge on Craigslist) belongings on May 27th and making an incredibly zig-zagging return to the NW via Illinois, Indiana, Tennessee and Texas. (Apparently we only know people who live in states that begin with “I’s” and “T’s”)

We will be maintaining our respective e-mail addresses and phone numbers should any of you feel inclined to call for more information. Adios, New York City!
