Something Old and Something . . . Else . . . Old

I came across a few older videos and pictures while uploading pictures from Evie's birthday party tonight.

First, here are a couple of bathtime pictures. Evie loves getting a bath. We usually play for a few minutes before actually scrubbing her down, then let her play for a while aferwards as well. Then, of course, we have to take her out and dry her off, which she pretty much hates, but it's usually followed by a warm bottle and bedtime, so she's happy in the end.

Evie used to get a kick out of our getting frustrated when trying to get her to walk. We'd hold her up, trying to get her to take a step at a time, but she just wanted to jump. So, I would let her jump and bounce her around, and she'd start laughing, sometimes pretty hard. Here are a couple videos of that, from early December:

That same night, we apparently gave Evie some fruit juice, going for a good reaction. I don't remember the story, but I'm sure there was one. We'll just say it's a video of everyday Evie.

A little more recently, we were trying to get Evie to walk again, but all we got was her being cute and ticklish.

In practice for walking, Evie has a little walker that she trolls around the house with. For a while, we were calling her "NASCAR" because she could only turn to the left after she ran into something. It was pretty funny; if she needed to turn 90 degrees to the right to get where she was going, she'd back up and turn 270 degrees to the left to get there. We don't have that on tape, but here's a video of her racing through the house.

Finally, we thought we had a video if some of Evie's very first steps, but I can't find it for now. Here's the earliest video we have of those clumsy, off balance, beautiful steps.
