Erin got a TOOTH!!

Erin,

I just got a call from Mom. You, Evelyn and mom are still in Florida enjoying an extra couple of weeks while I finish up classes. Mom just called and told me you got your first tooth today. And you've apparently gotten much better at crawling too. I heard you have run burns on your knees because you don't lift them up yet. That will be very cute to see.

Oh and one more thing... You like to steal your sister's toys. What's up with that? No matter what toys you and your sister have, the one you want is the one Evelyn has. Don't be such a bully :). I guess now that you are crawling you come across the room towards Ev, take her toy, and then crawl away. Meanwhile since Ev can't crawl yet she just has to sit there watching you lumber towards her, gets her toy pillaged, and then has to watch you crawl away.

I guess this should be good motivation to get her to crawl herself. Be nice to your sister!

Love, Dad

Erin is crawling!!!

Hi Erin,

You have just started crawling and it is so funny!! It's hard for an adult to imagine just how hard crawling is, but you certainly have your frustrations! You don't like to crawl in the evening when you're getting tired. But, in the morning you zoom all around. You have even developed a bit of a mean streak! You crawl over to your sister, steal her toy, and crawl away! That's not nice! But, it sure is funny. It is so much fun to be your mom. I love you with all of my heart and enjoy every moment we are together.

Love,

Mom
