Hair Accessories

Eva intently watched me put a clip in my hair, then took another clip and put it to her head repeatedly as if she was trying to put it on.  So cute!

Identifying Colors

In the bathroom we have a frame with 3 photos.  Its the same photo, but in three different colors.  Eva loves this.  Tonight Justin was showing her the frame by taking her forever pointed finger and pointing at each photo telling her the colors.  Then he asked her, "which one's blue? Which one's yellow?  Which one's green?" Each time she pointed correctly.   Then the curve ball.  Justin asked, "Which one is orange?"  She hesitated, and did not point.  "Which one is yellow?"  And she pointed correctly.  What a smarty!

Potty Training - Toilet Paper

When Eva was very tiny I use to take her to the potty and have her pee on the toilet.  Even though it was infrequently, the times I was consistent she would pee on command.  It got to be too much for me personally.  I still wanted her to be familar with the concept of going to the bathroom, so frequently I take her with me and sit her on my lap when I go.  I explain to her the different steps involved and then we wash our hands together.

Today I took her with me and sat her on my lap as usual.  This time she saw the toilet paper, grabbed a piece, wiped her "peepee" and dropped it into the toilet!  So cute!  I praised her excitedly and she repeated it several times!  Even later tonight she did it for Daddy all on her own initiative :).  She is so precious and so smart.  She amazes me.

Hair Brush

I had Eva in her bumbo while I was trying to clip her toe nails.  I suddenly feel a bonk on the head.  I look up to see my beautiful girl happily "brushing" my hair.  She repeated the action to attempt to stroke my hair.  She looked happy to be able to do it on her own.

Lights

For quite some time Eva has been able to turn the lights off using her perfect, little index finger.  Tonight she turned the light switch off and on!  Daddy is such a good teacher.

Clap

Clapped Daddy's face

Blow

Eva blew air through her mouth for the first time.  She repeated it several times.  Too bad I couldn't get her to do it for her candle :).

Roll a Ball

Eva was playing with a ball and as it would get away from her I would roll it back to her.  At one point she grabbed the ball swang her arm back and forth as if to gain momentum and then... RELEASE!  She would let go and roll the ball a foot or two!  So cute, she repeated it several times.  Sometimes she will do something and not do it again.  More and more she does a new thing and repeats it.
