Breakfast with the Bishops & Nora

On Sunday we met with Nora, Nikki, Brad, Robby and Katie for breakfast at IHOP. Nora was in town to pick up the kids - they were going to spend a week in the Valley with their Grandparents.

Warning - IHOP has been a victim of the economy. They have decreased the size of their pancakes! So if you used to order pancakes to share with others - think again!

Legs of Steel

We can't believe how strong Eva's legs are. She loves to use them and stand up on us, on her changing table or on the sofa.

Here she is with Gilbert.

Eva also loves being naked. And it seems both Gilbert and I have been messy lately spilling our food and drink on her. And since I am horrible with getting stains out, I decided to take her clothes off if I am eating and feeding her at the same time!

The Shirt Says it All

Giddy-Up

My Aunt Michele and Uncle Doug got Eva these super cute socks that look like cowboy boots in all different colors. On Wednesday she wore her purple ones and was too cute!

Eva's Favorite Place to Nap

Is always on me!

I said before I had her that I wasn't going to let her sleep on me or in my bed. Well, never say never! We don't let her sleep with us all night, just after her last feeding around 5 or 6. She cuddles up with Gilbert and I before Gilbert has to leave for work. She loves it and so do we. Now I just have to worry about all the other things I said I wasn't going to do....

Hey Macarena

I am sure I spelled that wrong, but Gilbert is not here to instruct me on the proper spelling! Eva loves listening to music or to us sing - in English or Spanish. On Tuesday morning (Gilbert's day off) he took advantage of our morning baby and taught her the Macarena. She loved it!

Splish Splash She Loves Taking Her Bath

Gilbert is in charge of bathtime. Since I am breastfeeding, he feels left out at times and needs something with Eva all to himself. Eva loves bath time and spending time with her Dad.

Gilbert also gets her lotioned up and dressed in her PJs. He prefers PJs that zip, since he has diaper duty at night. She has grown out of all her zip PJs with feet on the bottom and now we have her in 3-6 month ones. Tonight she has on a pair of 6 month PJs that fit her length perfectly, but is big everywhere else.
