Notice a Difference?

After talking about it for months (maybe even a couple years), she finally got her ears pierced.  I think she feels more grown-up with the earrings.  She was so nervous about it, so I think she has a little more confidence from getting up her courage and getting through it. 

Evi are cercei acum, dupa ce am discutat asta luni (sau ani!) de zile.  Cred ca se simte mai mare de cand si-a pus cercei.  A avut emotii foarte tare, si cred ca se simte bine acum ca a avut curaj sa mearga inainte cu planul.

Another Month Closer to a Year

My sweet pea is 11 months old now.  The time has flown, and I can't believe we'll be celebrating her first birthday very soon.  She's already been toddling around the house for a couple weeks and trying to climb up on whatever is in her way.  And also getting into everything that looks interesting, especially the potty.  She's lots of fun--I love to hear her chatter and squeals of delight.  This is a bittersweet time for me, as I am so excited to watch her grow but so sad that my baby will not be a baby much longer.

Fetita mea are 11 luni acum.  Nu-mi vine sa cred ca face un an in curand.  Deja merge bine in picioare, si se urca oriunde apuca, si umbla prin tot ce se pare interesant pt. ea (mai ales toaleta).  Aduce multa bucurie in viata mea--imi place ce fel "vorbeste" si tipa de bucurie.  Este frumos s-o vad crescand, dar in acelasi timp este trist pt. mine ca nu o sa mai fie bebelus prea mult timp.

Evi's 9th

We celebrated Evi this week.  It's hard to believe it was nine years ago that she came into the world.  She is growing into a beautiful young lady in many ways.

Am sarbatorit ziua lui Evi saptamana asta.  Nu-mi vine sa cred ca s-a nascut acum noua ani.  Creste sa fie o domnisoara frumoasa...

Our 4th

Well, we spent the day in the last place we expected--the ER.  Not the entire day, but much of it--after Daniel got two bad head bumps in a row.  I don't understand how he so often hits his forehead when he trips and falls on his knees.  Anyway, it all happened up at the 10K race that Nelu ran in the morning.  Having tripped and hit his forehead hard twice in a row made for a concussion.  So we stayed quite a while in the ER while Daniel was observed.  I am so thankful that there was not a more serious injury.  And I'm happy to say that he's mostly back to his normal self.

Am petrecut Ziua Independentei (la noi) la spital cu Daniel ieri.  N-am stat toata ziua, dar am stat mult.  Daniel a cazut rau de doua ori si s-a lovit la cap in doua locuri diferite.  (Nu inteleg cum a facut asta de doua ori in doar o ora jumate.)  Oricum, noi eram intr-un alt oras la un concurs in care alerga Nelu, si acolo s-a intamplat.  Am stat mult la spital pt. ca s-a lovit tare, si a trebuit ca doctorii sa faca observatii.  Ma bucur ca nu s-a intamplat ceva mai rau.  Si ma bucur ca el se simte mult mai bine (si aproape normal) acum.
