Door!

hey all out in there in blog reading land. We are doing awesome in the Koens household. Evelyn is growing up. Shes already fighting with me about clothes and with tony about boys. Ok so we are not there yet but she is gaining weight (but dont say anything to her, she will be self conscious). She is still in her newborn clothes, maybe closing in on ten pounds im thinking. Her next check up is on the 24th so we will see how shes growing then. Oh! and she rolled over last week! At seven weeks old! hooray evie.

Elijah is taking more notice of her too. he has starting kind of doing a sort of baby talk to her. which is basically the same old babble but in a higher pitch than normal and sometimes he leans his head to hers and gives her a kiss! I think he does it mainly because I cheer him on. And he has been learning more lately. He is getting good at learning words but he only repeats them when he feels like it. At church the other day I told him to say "door", a word he has hardly heard before and i have never tried to get him to say it before, but he looked at it and promptly said Door. plain as day. So ive been trying more on him. A new favorite of his is Poop. he will walk around going 'poooooo ppp pop pp pooop' (sorry for those who think thats gross but i thought it was hilarious when he first started, lets just hope i can control that language when company is around).

Weve been enjoying the nice weather around here lately too. We've been going to playgrounds and we went on a hike.

notice how he inches himself down the slide.

Elijah helped tony work on his bike.

And to get ready for summer, Elijah got his first haircut! Hard to believe he had enough to actually cut, but the stuff he did have was looking pretty scraggly, so we got it cleaned up at this awesome kids haircut place that had race cars for seats and little tvs so each kid could watch elmo or something while they cut their hair. Geeeniiiuss.

Kisses!

Finally, this is what i found after leaving elijah alone with lunch for three minutes..

So he got a bath.

funny.
