What is it about this new car seat and the 'tude?

eva's rocking chair

Eva loves her rocking chair. Thanks Gmommy & Gdad! She sits in it for about 5 seconds then runs to the back and makes it rock then back to sitting in it for 5 seconds and so on.

ode to the kitties

It has been over a week since we last saw Smokey and Sentri is noticeably upset. We can only assume she has moved onto her next phase of life. We spent nearly 15 years together and we owe a lot to her. We will miss her patience, grace, and unconditional love. Sentri is getting lots of love to make her final time cuddly. To our dear companions, a very long overdue thank you for their love and support.

Notice the older child hanging on for dear life at the top of the slide while Eva goes for it!
Not happy about leaving.

Can you tell her papa is a musician?

xylophone, drum, jukebox, concertina, 2 guitars with whammies, keyboard and recorder (plus all her shakers and make-shift drums)

cutest mismatched outfit ever

new car seat

Eva's joined the big girls in her front facing car seat. She looks a little too cool for school.

organizing = fun

Eva's bounty of gifts warranted more storage. She found the bins to be just as fun as the toys.

You can hop in them.

You can sit in them.

You can sit in them and stack them.

These aren't as cool so she just rubs her butt on them.

cousin aj

This is Eva and AJ's second meeting. They acted much more like cousins this time. Notice how intently Eva is looking at AJ's toy.

Notice how unaffected AJ is by Eva's crocodile tears in protest that she couldn't have that toy.

All is forgiven when AJ gives Eva a push on the tricycle.

Or, was AJ positioning to launch Eva?

All ends with smiles!

This is Eva's great grandmother's animal print blanket - perfect for naps!

eva's first real christmas

Last year, she was more enamored with the wrapping paper. This year, she seemed to somewhat understand the concept of the present beneath the wrapping paper. Although, these discoveries took several days to occur due to her attention span of seven seconds.

enjoying one of her many gifts - thank you everyone!

eva's first tricycle

Although she isn't showing it much in this photo, she is stoked about her new tricycle!

snuggling

It has been unusually rainy and chilly in San Diego but a perfect excuse for extra snuggles.

2 words - footsie jammies

It is finally cool enough for the always hot Eva to wear footsie jammies...awesome.

elmo and beary

Eva's gotten very maternal with Beary and Elmo. She loves to cuddle them, sit across from them at her table, and make them dance. Oh, and feed, water, and give them kisses too.
