Eva Update

I know it has been awhile since I have updated the blog. Working full time has been tough:) Eva is growing up so fast! Some highlights...

She is talking up a storm and will repeat what we say. She has really been into Christmas - and will say Santa, presents, ornaments, candy cane, cookies, tree, etc....
She LOVES to read and will pick out what books she wants read every night. She really likes her Christmas books and Sandra Boynton books. She will say "again" if the first time wasn't enough and we will read it over and over until she picks a new book!
She wants to dress herself and will get very upset if we try to help her. She really does a good job:) She says "boots" and will put on her little pink boots and also loves to put on our shoes.
We have started potty training. We have to bribe her with M&Ms just to sit on the potty. This should be fun.....
She likes to "bake" things in her little play kitchen.
LOVES water - which includes bath time and putting items in her cup and watching them float. She doesn't want a cup with a lid anymore - but usually dumps water in a big girl cup on herself, the floor, or my laptop (I now have a new one....).
She is a great little mom. She takes her dolls with her. Yesterday she took one of her pampers and laid her baby on the changing pad and wanted to change her diaper. She also gives her babies a bottle and sits them in her little rocking chair infront of the tv.
She says "hat" and puts on a cute hat that is too small for her head and walks around the house with it on.
Gives Roxie a hug first thing in the morning and calls Ricco - Boo Boo.
She now enjoys going to church and playing with the other kids in the nursery.
Feeds herself with a regular spoon (she doesn't like the baby stuff:)
Draws and colors (including brown marker on Gilbert's face when he fell asleep watching her!!!!)

Gilbert and I are so blessed to have a happy, healthy, funny girl with tons of personality. I will try to be better with updating the blog!

Gilbert's Mom gave us money this year to take Eva to Build A Bear for her Christmas gift. Gilbert and I both took today off and thought it would be a great idea to take her and meet up with Megan, Troy and Caroline.

Eva was a little overwhelmed by all the choices, but ended up picking a panda bear. She has a series of videos called Little Pim that teach her spanish, so when she saw the panda bear she keps saying Pim!

Waiting in line for the bear to come to life! (She did NOT want to help!)

Of course I had to pick out some stylish boots for Pim!

I had a great time picking out Little Pim's outfit. I could go crazy in there:) I am sure we will take her back in a few months to pick out a new outfit for her bear - which would be a lot cheaper than getting her a new bear:)

After our bear experience we went to eat at O'Charleys. Eva was such a good girl at the restaurant and loved looking at Caroline - or "Baby" as she called her!
