I tried... I really did...

I tried to update the blog today. With some really cute pictures of the kids scooting all over the place and Evelyn trying to pull herself up on everything. But there is something wrong with the computer, and after several minutes of "uploading" the pictures I suddenly get an error message saying there was a connection problem. Twice.
But I can type.
So I'm not sure what kind of connection problem we're having.

I decided I'll just describe them and you can make your own mental image.

Evelyn is pulling herself up on everything. It's distracting her sleep which is a bit annoying. She wakes up and immediately tries to stand in her crib (and succeeds) which means there is no hope she'll settle back down and go to sleep again. Especially since sometimes I think she gets scared to sit down again...evidenced by the bloody-murder screaming she lets out while standing stock-still holding on the to the rail.

Speaking of bloody murder. Two days ago Andy brought Evie into our room for a bottle at 7am and she had blood all over her mouth. Further investigation found it all over the rail of her crib as well. She must have chewed on them so much she made her gums bleed.
Mental note: get crib rail guards so we can actually use or sell her crib...thankfully there are no chompers in there yet.
Besides the bleeding gums her head is also covered with bruises because while she has figured out how to climb to a standing position she has not exactly figured out how to climb down from one. The clunk reverberates through our entire house, followed by silence (the longer the silence the worse the result) and then the scream. Fun Fun!

Elijah is army crawling around like no one's business. He has discovered the joys of climbing into the bowl of the exersaucer and then through it to reach the curtains (also there is an electrical socket there I need to cover, so far he's not tried to touch it- I watch).

Things are getting interesting over here....
