Week in Review

Last week was a lot of fun. My mom and little brother, Diego, came to visit from Texas. We went to DC, went on a hike, went shopping, and had lots of family time. I miss them so much already.

We finally found a beach! Sort of. It’s a Potomac River beach with what I think is imported sand. It’s obviously not a substitute for the ocean but it’s only a few miles from our house and Eva had a blast. Next time we go I’ll bring my camera to take pictures of it with…

I finally got to see Eva swim! She can go underwater and swim to the steps, which is pretty cool. The pool has been wearing her out so much that this week, for the first time, she put herself to sleep in her own bed for a nap. I usually have to wear her in…

From Monday-Sunday we’ve been through 10 different states, so needless to say it has been another busy week for us! Ever since we got back from Texas, Eva has been begging to go back to her grandparents’ houses. “GiGi’s House?” she asks when we get into the car. When we’re driving somewhere she’ll randomly ask,…

I’ve pretty much given up on dressing Eva. She throws a huge fit if I try to put shorts or pants on her lately. She has to wear dresses or skirts (but only if the skirts are frilly). Preferably pink. Once again, I’m floored as to where she gets this from. I was never like…

Evita has been a bit of a handful this week. She’s been a little grumpy, but that’s understandable since she went from being sick to being moved around everywhere. One thing is for sure, she was happy to be back at the beach… Damian has been a busy boy this week! Towards the beginning of…

This week Eva had fun at the Kid’s Club everyday, but on Friday evening she became very sick. For the first time in her life, she had croup and a fever that reached 101 degrees (The highest she’s ever had before this was 99.)! There always seems to be something going around at the kid’s…

This week Eva finally started swimming lessons! I’ve basically been wanting to put her in them since she was born. Right now they’re just working on holding their breath for short distances underwater. Pretty neat! Also, Eva became completely obsessed with the movie Frozen this week. Her Grammy bought it for her while she was…

Eva just loves being around her baby brother, and he loves being around her. I can’t wait until he’s old enough for them to actually play together. The other day Eva was busy drawing in her little notepad when she came to me and said, “Look, Mommy! Letter A!” Sure enough, she had drawn what…
