Cousin Lovin'

Cousins are the best! Watch how cute Eva and Clark are when they're together. Eva likes to push him around in her walker (she thinks she's too big for it now). She tried saying his name, although it sounded more like dog, which is the word of the week. It was another great weekend at the cabin in IP.

Oh! And speaking of cousins, Eva is going to get a new girl cousin in November. Sam and Liss are having a little girl. Yahoo! Congrats to them.

A girl can never have too many pairs of shoes.

She said it! Eva's first word is "shoe." A close second is "ball." She already has a shoe fetish like her Dad and loves trying to put her own shoes on, put my shoes on my feet and pointing at everyone else's shoes and saying, "shoe."Isn't it incredible how kids learn and pick up on things you say and do? You don't realize it until you are a mom and your own child starts to say words. Sometimes I think, "What?! Where did that come from- you're just a baby!" I am also very amused by the things she copies me doing. For example, she has heard me blow my nose so many times that if you put a tissue up to her nose, she blows hers too. One day I was spot cleaning the floor and I looked behind me and the little Cinderella had my rag wiping the floor. so stinkin' cute.

Her second favorite object is a ball of which we have collected in all sizes and colors. We found one at the store that she fell in love with and couldn't wait to play with it so while I was paying the cashier, she played catch with the customer in back of us. Such a friendly girl.

Her new favorite pair from Grandma Jules.

This one makes me almost pee my pants.
