Eva Pilar

Pregnancy Update: Yeay! I finally hit the 30’s. Ten weeks to go until I meet my baby boy. This week was a mostly uneventful one. My rib pain actually subsided a bit; I think it’s because I was on my feet more than usual. My grandmother insists it’s because my belly dropped, but I don’t…

Another week with not a whole lot of blogging. I’ve been busy with lunch dates, outings, and catching up with family. Plus, not having a nanny anymore is cutting into to my blogging time! Hah. I have so many e-mails and comments to catch up on. I’ll get my rhythm back eventually. Eva needs hers…

Dear Evita, You’ve arrived in your final month before you turn two. It’ll be the last month I refer to your age in “months” and the last month I can really get away with calling you a baby. As always, you’ve gone through a lot of changes this month. A couple of weeks ago you…

Well it’s been about a week since I’ve blogged last but, as you can probably guess, I’m back in the USA! I received word last Monday night that my travel was approved and the next morning we said see ya later to Tanzania. Our first stop was Amsterdam, where we had about a five hour…

This week was a crazy week of trying to entertain Eva despite all her toys being shipped away. Needless to say, I’m exhausted.

I keep forgetting to write about this in my blog, but Eva seems to be picking up a bit of a British/Swahili-style accent here. It’s only on words that I always speak to her in Spanish. Water, for example. Even if I’m speaking to her in English, I’ll still call water “agua.” So now whenever…

This week Eva turned 22 months old! Two months until the big TWO! I’ve already started planning her birthday party. It will be at my Dad’s ranch back in Texas. I’m so excited we’ll be spending her birthday with family this year. Other than that, it’s been a pretty quiet week for us, except for…

Evita Pilar, You are two months away from turning two. Our little family is in the midst of a lot of changes. We’re currently packing up our house for our big move to Virginia. You’re pretty stoked about all the boxes everywhere. You wander around from box to box with a crayon, putting your special…

I’ve decided to do a little something different this year. Last week I said I wasn’t going to participate in the portrait-a-week project because I thought I’d have too many weekly updates and they seem to get repetitive and overlap. I already do a pregnancy update, I’ve wanted to do a tot school update, and…
