And OH MY GOSH!

As I was typing the 2 posts below this one, I looked over and EVA WAS STANDING BY THE TOY BIN! She pulled to stand for the FIRST TIME EVER!! OH MY GOSH!!!

How is that they are getting so big???

Dylan has been crazy about the soundtrack from the movie That Thing You Do for quite awhile now.....so crazy about it that he can seriously sit and sing-a-long with the whole CD. He might not get all the words right but he definitely has all the tunes down. I have been trying and trying to get a video of him singing some of the songs but he sings one line and wants to see the video soooo......

This morning he was sitting on the potty and we had the CD playing and I took the opportunity get a video of him singing without him knowing it!! :-) You know you all do this too! :-) :-)

Just watching a squirrel.....

EAT A CRACKER!

It was REALLY entertaining and cool!!

I got a teary-eyed....

I was sitting on the floor this morning watching Eva play and I got a little teary-eyed thinking about all the "stuff" that has happened in just the last few weeks that make her less of a baby and more of a toddler.....but she will ALWAYS be my baby whether she likes it or not! :-)

1) It's been 2 1/2 weeks now since she was done nursing. Believe me, I never imagined that I would be nursing a 15 month old but I really cherished those moments where it was just Eva and Mommy. It was time to be done but I don't regret one bit nursing as long as we did even if it was her allergies that made me necesssary.

2) She has gone from kinda army crawling across the room to crawling more and more on all 4's (FINALLY)! It's so exciting to watch her crawl across the room and become more and more independant. I love watching her explore!

3) She has started pulling up to her knees and is absolutelythisclose to figuring out how to get to standing. I love it! I love watching her figure it out and get so excited!

4) Talking, talking, talking, talking, talking, talking.....more and more words all the time. Daddy, Sissy, Kira, bro, Did-yn (Dylan), more, eat, what's that, I do it, yes, night night, tiger, brush, ball, car, hi, bye-bye NOW, come on, outside, cracker, cup, milk, wa(water)...and soooo many more!

A funny thing right now is that she won't call me Mommy or Mama...I am "that!" Thanks Eva!

5) And for the last 3 nights she has slept in her crib in her and Kira's room...not in the pack and play next to Mommy.

She's growing up so fast. Sometimes I just want to stop time and keep her right where she is now. I love watching her gain more mobility...that's something we definitely don't take for granted in our house! I love watching her explore. I love her sweet kisses!

Please don't grow up too fast Eva Ruth.....
