It's been a busy week...

We started off the week with an emergency trip to the dentist's office after Egan knocked his tooth loose (on Ella's head--she was fine). They just pushed it back into place and said to keep an eye on it, and it doesn't seem to be bothering him much now, although he is always pushing it around with his tongue.



Except for the hair-in-the-eyes situation, I'm liking his long hair. I keep thinking if I just wait a little longer, it'll be long enough to tuck behind his ears. He's still scarred (well, emotionally, at least) from his last run-in with the shears and isn't interested in getting it cut again. (If you don't know that story, it will suffice to say that Dijar got a little close around the ears.) We'll see how he feels when the hot weather sets in this summer. Might be time for that buzz we talked about but never actually brought to fruition last year.



Ella and Nico had well-checks at the pediatrician this week. Both are doing wonderfully. Ella had her first sight and hearing screen and she loved it. She didn't even seem to mind the five (yes, five!) shots she had to get. She even volunteered to go before Nico and she barely flinched. She's really growing up. Her new thing lately is wanting to cut up her food herself with a knife and fork.

Nico is trying his hand at pulling himself up and wishing he could figure out how to crawl. He can get himself up onto his knees with his feet underneath, but so far he always ends up falling over face-first. Then he flails around and tries to get somewhere for awhile. If he can get ahold of something (like the table below), he'll pull himself over to it. It won't be long before we'll have to start babyproofing the house again.

We're doing an egg hunt tomorrow afternoon and the Es are very excited. They've been practicing hunting eggs at Mom's the last few times we've been out there. I'll try to remember to take the camera with me. Hope everyone has a great Easter.
