Some friends and I went to a place called Amazing Jakes (similar to Chuck E. Cheese, but with mini golf and more rides). Evie and I were hanging out in the toddler area and I can't remember if I was holding her by one hand or if I had both of her hands, but suddenly she was standing all by herself!! She had to have stood there for well over a minute...I had time for it to sink in that she was actually standing by herself, walk over to the stroller which was about 5 feet away, grab my camera, take it out of the case, take two photos, then switch to video mode so I could take video. In the video you can hear me saying something about her doing a great job standing (and can I just apologize now for my squeaky voice yelling "Evie, Evie!"...I really don't like my voice on these videos!) and shortly after I said "standing" the spell is broken, she's down, and she's crying. She didn't get hurt as she went down, she's just not very gutsy. I'm afraid she's a bit of a chicken like her mommy when it comes to physical stuff (I'm a horrible skier, can't rollerblade unless I'm on totally flat ground, etc. Sorry, Evie girl!) After that I couldn't even get her to crawl. She wanted me to hold her constantly and kept fussing. It was as if she thought I had betrayed her by letting her stand all by herself. What a funny little drama queen!! :o)

I am so proud of Evie! It really is funny that she decided to fall down as soon as you told her she was standing. She needs some of her daddy's bravery.
