Quick Update

This has proved to be an eventful week. Eva has started grabbing everything in her reach and trying to put it in her mouth, which means she tries to get her sock or her blanket in her mouth most of the time. Her desire to suck on something has increased dramatically too. We think that she is in the beginning stages of teething, but a lot of times she just wants to suck on something. We may cave and try to make her take the pacifier; hopefully she won't gag on it like she did the last time we try to give it to her. She has discovered her tongue! She uses her tongue when she is thinking very intently.

She is starting to mimic us. She watches me tap my foot to the beat, staring intently as she stays very still and then tries to move just one leg up and down repeatedly. She waved "hi" in response to Justin waving to her a couple of nights ago. She started to try to crawl as of today. She didn't move an inch forward but her back legs are definitely working to get her moving. She loves bath time too.

She is about 12 and a half pounds now and Mommy is feeling every bit of it!

Some things are still the same - She kicks off every blanket we put over her, talks herself to sleep, her eyes are still two different colors and her smile just as sweet as ever. I love these things very much and I treasure them up in my heart everyday.

Once I remember where I put the camera, I will add some pictures.
