Exploring and Destroying

Evelyn had a great time exploring her new surroundings. My mom was wonderful to let her not only explore her house, but also destroy it. At our house we don't have handles or knobs on our doors or drawers so Evelyn loved holding ontot them and climbing around the kitchen.
Evelyn also discoverd my moms bathroom. She figured out how to flush the toilet and did it over and over again. Then she saw the closet... And this is what was left when she was done...
A few other things Evelyn discovered were the stairs. My mom taught her how to go up and down them. She thought it was so much fun. She finally figured out how to turn around at the top and go down the stairs backwards. But she would only go down one step and then wanted to climb up again, so she would do that over and over again. She also discoverd the magazine rack, there were a few casualties. And while my mom was folding laundry Evelyn discovered socks. She played with my moms socks on her bed for half an hour...the simple things that make us happy...

She sounds just like Abbie. Into everything, walking everywhere and climbing everything! I can't believe how big she is getting! She is so dang cute! I wish Abbie could play with her! Abbie turns one on the 29th! Can you believe it?
