Eva Updates

Eva is super entertaining right now. She has such a friendly smile and will ham it up for a camera. She's turned from the slightly shy twin the to the more outgoing twin and will (depending on mood) greet people with "hi" or give an extended goodbye ("bye-bye guys"). She's putting words together and can offer a kind of extended monologue of one and two syllable words. I often hear her cooing or singing in the morning before it is time for the twins to get up.

She has a number of favorite toys. She still plays periodically with her dolls. She likes to play house with the bricks and sometimes plays with action figures also. She's usually game for new things.

She is still our most-difficult-to-dress kid and has an opinion about her clothes (and hat, socks, mittens, you name it). Her new favorite book from the library is "Carry Me," a board book of babies being carried in various backpacks. She's still our most packable kid, not because she's a couple of pounds lighter than Eli but because she will go with the plans more. For a while she's said "carry you" when she wants to be picked up.

All of the kids are ticklish and light to play on the couch and be tickled. Sam competes less with Eva and her relationship with the boys may be different than their relationship to each other. The kids have a lot of fun things they do together. The easiest is blocks, but they also sometimes do cars or chasing each other or wrestling. Fun days!
