Yesterday Steven discovered his feet! He was so intrigued by his own little toes. It was as is he had discovered a whole new world with how he looked at them. I think he was amazed he could grab them himself. I am so amazed by him and how quickly he accomplishes new things. The pediatrician said he was more in line with 6 month old babies than 4 month olds with everything he can do. He can hold his bottle and even grab and put his pacifier in her mouth. He did run a small fever after he has his shots on Friday and is still a bit fussy but it will pass I am sure.
Evie was part fish today as she was in the pool at least three times today. She loves swimming in the "houl" as she calls it. I just love how she pronounces some things. Garbage is "garship", backpack is "pak-pak", hot dog is "hoggog", banana is "bana" and so many other adorable things she says. I can't think of them all now. Today I asked her to go upstairs for something, I can't remember what, and she turned around and said "I'm going, rewax" (relax). I had to stifle a laugh. Must be all the times I tell her to relax when I see her getting over excited. Her birthday is soon approaching and I had let her pick out the cake mix she wanted me to use for her birthday cake. On Saturday she had the box in hand when I came home from work and said "mom bake this, bake my "birfday" cake" and then turns the box over where they have pictures of what to add and she points to them and tells me "you need cup water and eggs and mix it up and a plate". I'm going to attempt to make a wonder pets cake using a pattern for cupcakes I found on nickjr website. Instead of making a ton of cupcakes I will try to make their faces on a sheet cake. We'll see how it turns out. I want to try to make her cake every year. I'm thinking I will need to take some classes! Off to cut Ken's hair. This will be interesting.
