Sorry to keep you all hanging, waiting for pictures of Kile’s new toy. Yesterday was a Knit Knit Knit day for me since Sunday and Monday were so busy. That meant that blogging took a back seat.
Believe it or not, I posted a little hint about this toy the other day in one of my picture posts. I’m surprised no one picked up on it. Anyhow, here it be:
I know, right? It’s a SCOOTER. Albeit, it’s a fairly souped up scooter. But it’s a scooter. It actually belonged to my brother in law. Their whole family had scooters and he didn’t like to ride his so he gave Kile a VERY good price (and payment plan!) for it. It’s nearly new (despite the dirt on it, which it received in the back of my sister in law’s truck on the ride down on Sunday) and in great shape. Kile is out in the garage as I speak giving it a bath, removing the stickers (not his style) and doing an oil change. To say he’s enchanted by it is probably putting it mildly. It came with a nice helmet but we got a small helmet for Harry the other day to go with it so he could go on little rides too. Kile is looking for a pink helmet for me. Heh.
The plan is he’ll drive this to work during the summer months since it gets like INSANE gas mileage. He might have to put gas in it like once a month. It’s more gas efficient than a motorcycle even. Kile would still like a motorcycle someday, but this is a good step in that direction.
Oy, huh?

In other news, Evie pulled herself up on the couch for the first time yesterday.
At one point I looked up at her and there she was, standing. She had been on her knees, playing with her pushcar/stroller (birthday present!) like she likes to do. I’m guessing she got it pushed over to the couch and she decided to branch out and pulled herself up. She did it another time or two later that day and went so far as to get “stuck” once (the stroller got away from her and she couldn’t figure out how to let herself down easily). Look at that face. Does she look proud of herself or what?
Of course this is the beginning of the end. This will morph into cruising, standing up in her crib, and eventually walking. WALKING. So not cool. First she has the audacity to turn one and now this? She and I need to have a talk.

And, cuz that’s how I roll, here’s some other pictures to share with ya’ll. Happy Hump Day! Enjoy “Lost” tonight! (You know I will!)

brits last blog post..What’s in this place that we can’t weather?
Yeah. Elizabeth figured out how to climb out of her crib. They just don’t listen when you tell them not to get bigger!
Hey, I recognize that lovely (red) skirt from a project post I just saw, where you paired with an awesome other fabric top. It looks great on.
And, I also recall with delight, my own child’s first standing up attempt.
