Eva at 19 months!

It's been a while since my last post.  As many of you know Eric and I have had a busy last two months from a work standpoint.   Unfortunately, the past six weeks have also been full of sickness in our household, from sinus infections, to a cold, to double ear infections, to bronchilitis, to the flu.   Not a fun couple of months.  We are looking forward for spring to come and hopefully take all the sickness with it!

Eva is growing, growing, growing.   She loves to try to talk now.  In day care she has learned all the other kids names.   She tries to say her own but it does not sound like Eva.   Her favorite new word lately has been "trucks", she loves to dance and her favorite song is "run baby run" introduced to us by my cousin Carrie, she also loves to play dress up!  She also loves to "help".  She will help me make dinner by measuring and pouring things into bowls, and she will help put her clothes away after her bath, and she also throws out any sort of garbage item she finds!  Doggie is still her favorite stuffed animal and he now goes to bed with her.   We stopped the Nuk a week ago and so far so good.   She has been crying a bit more to go to sleep but it's slowing down each night.
