the title of this post can be found in an exultant chorus from a bloc party song. i've had this line in my head for several days, and the energy in the lyric has made me think of our weekends lately. though we're not heading out of town on these saturdays, i feel like we're approaching our own city with that fervor associated with the getaway destination in the quoted song.
today it was so warm in chicago that i had no idea how to dress eve for indoor or outdoor activities. somehow, she ended up without coat and hat, outside at the lincoln park zoo, but her joy at communing with animals and strangers kept her little self warm and toasty. someone walked by us and remarked, 'now she's the cutest thing i've seen in this place today.' that's probably a bit of an exaggeration, but maybe not.
this collection of pics takes us from last saturday to this one to show you how evester is clearly getting used to her urban lifestyle. the in-house hat wearing pic is not unique. she alternates between two hats, both from the ever-generous spencer's-mom, while in the house. we don't know why she wears these hats inside, but she's very consistent about it. and that thing in her mouth in the third pic is a cornichon, a really strongly flavored pickle. that's my girl. we'll have her eating salt and vinegar chips within the year.

Thanks for the posting, Erin! What great shoes she has on at the zoo! I want some!
No way will I compete with your comments about the experience of your first born - even though I remember Ted's birth better than anyone else's - it was still 30 years ago and I don't want to seem quite so antiquated. Love you! Janet
Is the mirror pic at the big bean in the park?
OH GOD. I LOVE HER WALL-E SHIRT.
eve's shoes are coveted by many--including her mama.
the mirror pic is definitely by the big bean--good eye. my dad is taking the picture of all of us. eve thought that thing was amazing, but she liked watching the ice-skaters even more than approaching her reflected self.
yasmin, when will you see the wall-e shirt in the flesh? eve will only fit into it for a few more months. or, are you busy with lame plans until june?
that lizard totally wanted to eat her.
