Other new stuff for Evan..happier new things :). He is getting really good at walking. He falls down and gets right back up. Some nights he gets so goofy and just starts doing laps around the kitchen island. It's pretty funny to watch. He has even tried a couple of times to run to catch Madi. We have a very loud house again. It used to be Madi and Oliver running around the house barking and yelling, now it's just the two kids but just as loud as before! But Madi is loving it. She takes him by the hand and leads him where ever SHE wants him to go. And they have been playing really well together and entertaining themselves while I cook supper or get the house picked up.
Evan's still only saying a couple of words. Uh, oh is his favorite, milk, and go. He is getting quite vocal when he wants something and he is starting to perfect his temper tantrum, which is always nice when kids learn that. He gets so upset when someone goes outside without him or he wants something he can't have.
His likes right now--tractors still, music and dancing, bath time, climbing on and into everything, and messing up whatever Madi is doing. If she is building something, he knocks it down. If she is coloring, he is grabbing at the colors. If she climbs up into my lap, all of sudden he wants in my lap and pushes her out of the way. And our biggest problem right now is pulling hair. He gets mad at Madi or she won't give him something he wants, he just reaches up and yanks with both hands. Very traumatic for Madi. But Evan is very attentive and copies everything she does. He tries to get a cup of water from the refrigerator door. I brush Madi's hair in the morning and several times this week he will get the hairbrush first and try and brush her hair while she is brushing teeth. At lunch he insisted that he dip his chicken and fries into the ketchup because I was doing it also. Very smart boy.

Madi had a fun day today. She got to go on her very first pheasant hunt. She was so excited. We spent part of the morning running around getting her new hunting clothes. I had bought snow boots and hunting pants and snow pants last year for her and got them big so we could hopefully get two seasons out of them. But she has grown so much this last year that they weren't even close to being able to be worn again. So after lunch, the guys came to walk a couple of fields around our house and she got to go along. It was extremely muddy and Chris had to rescue her and her boots a couple of times. So the last field she decided she would rather block than walk. She liked that much better. After they were all done hunting (and they didn't get anything, bummer) we had a little get together at our house. Had supper and sat around and visited. It was nice. Madi said she definitely wants to go again.
My little hunter!
Getting ready to go back out.
Madi's next adventure is Deer Camp. Last year she was going to stay a night with the guys but she ended up being sick and couldn't stay. So, this year we are going to try it again. She is very excited and unfortunately Chris told her she could stay a month ahead of time so she has been talking about it and asking a lot of questions. Last week she asked if Daddy was going to have a princess bed for her!! I'd like to see her pink and princess stuff mixed in with all those guys at deer camp!! Should be a great experience for them all. Especially when Chris has to get up in the middle of the night in the freezing cold and trek up to the bath house so she can go potty :)!! Maybe the first and last time she gets to go.
Have a great week!!
Love, Amy
