eva's new accomplishments

I've decided to blog about Eva's milestones since I can't seem to keep a journal. She has started walking, I mean really walking, and it is so exciting. I really wanted to write about how she likes to puts buckets or baskets over her head and then crawl around. She sometimes crawls into walls and furniture!! Yesterday she put a basket on her head and then tried to crawl face first down the stairs, so she obviously fell and scared the crap out of me!! Today she discovered the toilet!! We are up at my inlaws and we thought we had the doors closed, and then my brother in law heard a splashing sound. We went into the bathroom and she was up to her elbows in toilet water!! Needless to say, she got scrubbed down. Anyway, maybe this is a way for me to mark significant events!!

Uncle Terence and Grandma Shauna came over for a suprise visit the other day and we enjoyed them so much!! Terence plays in a percussion ensemble at school, and you can tell he is teaching Eva to play the drums! Eva also loves grabbing at Shauna's necklaces, and in the other picture she is playing peek-a-boo with a dish towel.

Swinging at the park!

Eva did NOT want her hood on!!! Can you tell?

We recently discovered a little park close to our apartment and I took Eva there. She loved it!! I put her in the swing, thinking she may not be ok with it, but she just wanted to keep going!!

Eva was up way too late, being very sad, and the only thing that made her happy was to sit on the counter and help me put away the groceries!
