Our sweet Eveleigh is growing into such a big girl. She is two years and four months old and is so full of joy & life. She is talking more and more everyday, and we are able to have full on conversations now! Nothing sweeter or sillier than a conversation with a two year old! She loves to sing and is always asking mommy & daddy to sing her songs (old mcdonald, the ABC’s, and twinkle twinkle being some of her favorites). She loves puzzles and making towers out of her building blocks. She is miss independent these days and pretty much says “no, I do it!” to just about everything. I love seeing her little personality and sense of humor come out more and more! I love to watch her interact with her baby sister too. She loves laying on the floor with Cora for “tummy time” and is always smothering her with hugs & kisses. Whenever Cora is crying Evie says “Uh oh, Codaa befff” or “Uh oh, Paci!” (as in, “mom she needs her paci!”).
She loves helping out with our little garden out back. Watering the plants, and picking & washing the fruit. We have some blueberries we’re waiting to ripen, and every morning she looks out the window and tells me “blueberries ready soon! We pick ‘em and eat em! Blueberries is so yummy!”
She really loves to learn and absorbs so much more than we even realize. She loves to pull her books off the shelves and sit with them in big pile all around her as she reads them. We read to her every night before bed, and she has to be the one to pick the book, hold the book, and turn all the pages all by herself. She also enjoys dragging out that process as long as possible and taking an hour to turn each page haha! Some of our current favorite books are ones by Dr. Seuss and Nancy Tillman.
Can’t forget this recent conversation over breakfast that cracked me up:
Me: How old is Eveleigh?
Evie: TWO!
Me: Do you know how old mommy & daddy are? Mommy is 26 and Daddy is 29!
Evie: Pauses, stares. Then “Daddy is SO OLD!“ ?
