Miss Miss E

What I often find myself calling Evie these days is either 'miss miss' or 'miss e'.  I am considering changing the name of this blog to 'Little Miss E Pie' to reflect the nicknames of both my  girls, because doing a whole separate blog for Evie isn't possible, I just don't have the time for that.  So this blog will have to be for both the girls.  A lifetime of sharing is in store for them anyways!  

(And for the record, Marea often goes by 'Big M' these days.  Or baby cakes.  Or sweet face.   Or honey pie. )

I've thought a million times about writing in here but just haven't done it. Most of the time I just forget, it's hard.  Or my brain isn't working well enough to put my thoughts together.  But I am going to try harder.  Because I feel this baby-toddler phase slipping away from me, and I don't want to forget any of it!  I love it so much!  

So here's some random stuff going on with us.

Evie just turned six months old!  I really can't believe it.  She still has her serious case of 'I must stick everything into my mouth no matter what it is-itis'.  Mostly this includes toys, although she prefers anything thats not a toy that looks interesting.  Last night we took her to original pizza and she went nuts for some crust.  Everytime we had to take it away because it was getting too mushy or breaking off she would start to wimper and cry till we gave her a fresh piece.   She's sitting up so well.  She LOVES watching Marea and is kind of starting to interact with her.  And Marea has fun entertaining Evie these days.  Evie loves looking at herself in the mirror.  We have a little game where when I stand her up on her changing table, she looks in the mirror and gives herself and me a big old smile and a screech.  I think that's my favorite right now.  She also loves putting her feet in her mouth at changing time.  And she does the Evie bounce.  Any time she gets excited, or wants something, she does this whole body wiggle.  It's so darn adorable. 

Marea just got signed up for preschool and i'm so excited.  I know she's going to love it, and i'm looking forward to being able to share the experience with her since it's a co-op.  Some of her friends are going there too, and i'm glad she'll be able to have them there with her (Maddie, Mia and Sean, Kate).  Hopefully they'll all be lifelong friends.  Marea is still loving her music in the car, and that makes me so happy.  She thinks i'm the DJ though, and that can be hard when i'm driving.  She knows all her favorite songs and will demand them from the back seat.  (You are my sunshine, No strings, Froggy went a courtin, and Little bird which is her absolute fave right now).    I know there's more, but my brain is fried for now.  So i'll be back-sooner next time...to tell more stories about my all time favorite girls.
