Eva Pilar

Damian was sick with a stomach bug for a few days this week. He remained cheerful despite his obvious discomfort. My poor baby. He also celebrated his first Easter. He didn’t quite understand the concept of an Easter Egg Hunt, but he loved throwing whatever eggs he found. He loves throwing balls of any kind.…

I keep finding myself starting at Damo in awe of how big he’s getting. His little mind is always ticking and I can see it in his eyes. He is discovering so much of the world around him. Some of his favorite things to do right now are stack blocks, throw balls and chase them…

Damian is starting to show signs of understanding more and more words and commands. He knows how to “brush his hair” and “talk on the phone.” He’s waving hello and goodbye and pointing to all sorts of things you tell him to. It’s amazing how fast he has been changing.

Damian continues to impress me with his walking skills. He’s a pro now. He’s also getting better at identifying people and objects by name. He doesn’t say them (except mama, dada, Eva), but he will point to them when I ask. Pretty neat!

Damian continues to blow me away with his walking skills. He can now get all the way up on his own (without using a prop), switch directions, bend and pick things up, and really take off. His top two teeth have broken and he’s getting a few more on the bottom. The other day I…

I was so excited to take the kids on the nature trails and show them all of the birds and butterflies. The closer the date approached, the more dismal the weather report became. South Texas is…

Evita Pilar, Today you are three years old. THREE. It has been three years since I first felt your tiny hand clasp around my finger, three years since I first kissed your chubby little cheeks, and three years since I first looked into your beautiful eyes. It has been three years since I became a…

Eva only got two days of beach days this week, but she enjoyed them to the fullest. She’ll be three in three days. Damian has taken off with his walking. Another reminder of how fast life goes by. Damian’s biggest achievement this week is clapping. He claps when hears music or any rhythm, really. He…

Damian is getting better and better at his walking skills. He regularly “lets go” and walks between objects without any prompting for me! He’s gone up to 18 steps!! Crazy. He has also been pointing at things A LOT and he’s starting to say, “shhhhh,” haha.
