Newest from Eva

Things to remember about Eva right now.

Her favorite color is red (answer when asked by Kyle. although pretty sure it's really pink.)
Favorite shows are "Little Einsteins," "Mickey Mouse Clubhouse," and "Pocoyo"
Favorite dance is the Hot Dog Dance from MMC (she'll randomly sing "hot dog! hot dog! hot dog!" while dancing--i.e. bouncing up and down, walking, and swaying back and forth with arms in chicken dance position -- all done simultaneously)
She colors with her left hand, eats with her right, and does a pretty good job switching between hands for different things
She likes to play with the dog, talk to her, pet and hug her, and also to tell her to go away
She recently started counting to 15 on her own, and does pretty well getting the numbers after 10
She has a unique way of counting to 10: "wahn-two-free-five-sac-salmon-eat-nahn-ten!" (she skips four every time, we're working on that :)
She likes to count down when her milk is warming in the microwave (she really only likes warm milk) and gets so excited to say zero!
She loves to accessorize her outfits

Her favorite activities are cooking (pretend and for real with me) and coloring, especially now she has discovered markers
Anytime she hears a kitchen timer beep she says "dinner!" and comes running into the kitchen
Love her cheesy grins when we tell her to smile for a picture 
Yes, this is a smile and not a growl. :)

Her favorite songs right now (what she sings the most on her own or requests of us): "Twinkle, Twinkle" (lately she hasn't been singing it as much as she sounds like she is rapping it. I have got to try to get that on video. haha) "I Am a Child of God" (her request lately has been for the second verse - "so my greats") "ABC's" "Hot Dog" "Wheels on the Bus"
Her favorite foods: tomatoes and pizza
eating a tomato like an apple
separate occasion eating a tomato like an apple. she LOVES tomatoes!
Her favorite treat: any kind of candy! (she asks for "can-nee" and "pop-pop" for lollipop)
Our favorite things she says: "Cute!" (whenever I get dressed, and she thinks it cute. she'll tell me "no like it" if she doesn't. definitely the little fashionista already) "Where it go?" (said with hands up in the air, Kyle's favorite) followed by "I fine it! Eva fine it!" (the 'd' in find is silent apparently :)
Latest favorite phrases: "Oh goo-ness!" "Oh my goo-ness!" (again, the 'd' is silent)
Newest phrase as of today: "Aw man!" (followed by whatever just happened, like "color (crayon) fell under couch" or "color break")

Love this little girl!

So cute. I was reading this and thinking that sounds exactly like Ethan, especially the tomatoes. Although, he adds a d to every word, "it's mined" or " agained" haha

You need to come visit so those two can play!
