Fun with cousins

Gaaaah I hate when I'm one sentence from finishing a blog post and then my ipad dies and it's not saved. Just had to get that out there in case anyone thought I liked it.

On a happier note, we got to spend 4 fabulous days with my nephews Trey and Miles and we had sooooo much fun! We made tons of good food (it's way better cooking for more people and with more helpers!), enjoyed the pool, and went to Stars and Strikes. I got my newest high score in bowling - 148 thank you very much - and was 1 pin shy of getting a turkey. Eva rode her first tiny carousel and stayed on great all by herself! Until she fell off. All the way from the horse to the floor. Oh it was sad. But George got the whole thing on video and some people think its pretty funny so we will see if it ends up on AFV. We're all hoping she's not brain damaged and that her tailbone is ok.

Other fun things - Eva likes to put small but large things in her mouth just to hold them there...below she has a walnut in her mouth she found on Liz's floor. She found out she could climb to the top of a flight of stairs, with no idea how to get back down. Miles found out he could do fancy writings on photos with one of my ipad apps...the first picture (featured below) turned out super cute, and then things started getting crazy with all the captions that him and Trey started cranking out. Eva might need a baby bra. Aaaand...wait for it...she loves dogs now! She fell head over heels for Ginger, and I've been begging George (on behalf of Eva) for the last full day to get a dog. It's not working yet.

Last but not least I was reading Eva a book called "Dear Zoo," in which you lift up flaps to see different animals. I make their noises too for all the ones that have noises. Today we were reading it and Eva wants to read it a second time in a row, and at the end there is a doggy. I make the woof woof noise and then she starts making a noise that is more like an oooo oooo noise but that sounds like woof woof. Then 30 minutes later I read it again with her to show George and sure enough she makes her doggy noise right on cue! So I guess she's super smart because she knows what's important.

The end.
