A Quick Splash

We purchased an inflatable pool at Target this past week and decided to test it out today. No matter how much hot water we added to the pool, the water was still super cold! Eva didn't seem to mind and enjoyed playing with me. She was a little silent in the video - I guess she was just too busy!

A Splashing Good Time

Playing in the kitchen sink, bathroom sink or bathtub are some of Eva's favorite pasttimes. And if there is a bowl or cup of water - she will find it and make a mess of things!

Here she is playing in the kitchen sink - using the spoon to bang against some plastic bowls to make music.

Gilbert and I love her cute little butt:)

Coloring

Eva has really gotten into coloring. Thank goodness that someone smart MOM out there invented washable crayons!

Busy Saturday

Today we went over to Oxmoor in Louisville to get Eva a pair of shoes. I can't believe she is wearing a size 5!!! I guess it makes sense for her height - but it seemed that she zoomed from a 3 to a 5 within weeks! I hope she at least stays this size for a while - shoes aren't cheap!

Playing with the little snails that the Bishops got her for her birthday. Roxie liked them too!

After she woke up from her nap we went on a walk and then played with sidewalk chalk. Eva wasn't as interested in the chalk as she was a Barbie watch that she found on the sidewalk infront of the house. She also liked running around the driveway and the front yard. She is a very busy girl!

The famous Eva squat.

At least I enjoyed the sidewalk chalk.

Putting that silly barbie watch in her car.

A few things to brag about... All parents think their kids are smart and we are no different! Each afternoon Eva and I go on a walk. When we get back, we go in the house and fill up 2 old water jugs and go back outside and water the plants. The other day Eva stayed outside with Gilbert and I took one jug in to get some water. While I was inside, Eva grabbed the other jug, went over to the plants and started to tip the jug as if to water them! She really knows the routine!!

And after Gilbert showing her the moon once, she can point to it if asked. Yesterday we asked her where the moon was and she just dipped her head all the way back so she could look at the sky! She also knows her tongue and will stick it out when asked! I guess all that nasty fish oil paid off:)

Afternoon with Meme & Aunt Michele

It has been awhile since the last post. I was going to blog about Eva's birthday - but thought that I would start with more current events and maybe re-visit her party later!

On Monday we went over to visit with Meme and Aunt Michele. At first Eva was very shy and started to cry whenever anyone would look at her, but within 10 minutes or so she was off and running through Meme's house - wanting to grab everything!! She really enjoyed going outside to play and was drawn to the roses! She kept up on our toes!

She found this little ball - don't know if it is Panchos or Pittsy Poos, but she loved playing with it!

Meme enjoyed playing with her.

Sitting like a big girl.

Aunt Michele

I have so many wonderful memories of playing in the backyard with my sister when we were younger. It was fun to watch Eva playing in the same place. Funny how things seem to come full circle. Her name of "Life Reborn" fits perfectly.
