Evi-isms

Her daddy taught her this pout...he'll regret it one day!
Evi-isms:
hang off = opposite of hang on (as in let go)
misappear = disappear
Dr. Pointment = her name when she's playing Doctor (as in doctor's appointment)
elphalant = elephant
feeget = forget
all'em all = all of them



One of her favorite phrases right now is "that's not fair!" Already!! She's not even a teenager yet and I hear this all the time. Granted she doesn't always use it correctly, but she uses it a lot, non the less. Then she recently sighed and gave Gigi a "whatever!" That just shows that she spends too much time with her Aunt Tooti!



We had cousin Melanie's wedding. She did a good job as flower girl. And Mel was beautiful. Then Evi was a dancing queen! The best part was that the DJ played the Hokey Pokey, which is her favorite, and the chicken dance which she also likes a lot. But she danced for a couple of hours straight, which means so did the rest of us, Gigi, Chacha, Auntie M and Tooti and even 8 month prego mommy!! By the end of the night I thought Lonestar might just fall out!! She kept doing this funny dance with her hands on the floor in a downdog position and dancing her feet around everywhere. It was great! And by the end of the night it was like Evi was drunk, crying and saying "I love you" to people. She was exhausted! As soon as aunt Mali was in the car with her she was out.

Aunt Becky's cat has had kittens...and I have told Evi she can have one if there is a girl in the litter. She is soooo excited. After our first visit she literally said "call Aunt Becky, I want to get the kitty" for 30 minutes straight. Since then she's done better with understanding that we can't get it for a few weeks. Her first choice in names was "Horse", I vetoed that one, and now she's decided on "Flower". Which is appropriate since the kitties are all black and white like the skunk in Bambi, named Flower. (not that she knows that!) Needless to say, we had a talk about how to hold the kitty...meaning, not by strangling it, like in the pix.

Just 7 weeks left...funny how a month ago I was freaking out that we only had 12 weeks until Lonestar's arrival. Now I feel like time is standing still!! And we're never going to get there. A month ago I was also worried that I didn't feel as much movement from Lonestar as I did from Evi, and that Evi always had the hick ups. Well, I'd say Lonestar moves as much now, no need to worry. And we've definitely had annoying cases of the hick ups! Evi loves to feel the baby move. She likes it when Lonestar kicks her in the back when we're cuddling for naps or in the morning. She's also decided that Lonestar is a girl. I keep telling her it could be a boy, and she says "no, I just love baby girls". This could get messy! (this is a pix of her hugging and kissing Lonestar from my point of view) She also has a baby in her belly and she'll let you feel it kick. She calls it "Tumble" and it's a boy, for daddy to take to work.

For mother's day I received a great gift from my husband...I came home to a clean house! He actually did a pretty good job (and he may live to regret that he proved he could do a satisfactory job in my eyes!!) It was very nice!
