Old Couple?!?

So.
It occurred to me today that Josh and I are becoming "more alike." Let me explain.
We like similar things. We order the same meals. We know what the other wants.
We go to bed at the same time (usually). We can figure what the other is thinking.
We have the same routine--wings on Tuesdays, pizza on Fridays, popcorn on Sundays.
We are getting old.
We figured it out today--we have been together for almost TEN years. Oh. My. Gorsh.
I will really FREAK out if people start telling us we look alike.
I guess we are growing old together.....

Squishy=Skinny

On our trip home this past weekend, Eva decided that it might be fun and exciting to not want to eat or sleep. I thought she wasn't feeling well until my Mom described how I was a baby--unadaptable, routine-oriented and demanding. However, Josh and I like to make up our own plausible explanations as to why our kids are "special." Josh decided that perhaps Eva has gotten a complex because we started calling her "Squishy" at such an early age, and suggested that it has gotten to her head. So, we decided that to prevent further eating disorders, that we should change her name from "Squishy" to "Skinny." She immediately started eating normally again when we got home. Glad we nipped that one in the butt.....

This is Josh. He is a Metrosexual.

13-Month Update

Eva is now past the 1-year mark, and I think it is time for an update on our cupcake for her "baby book."

~Eva is now walking! She had been taking a few steps here and there, but decided to walk across the room Monday night while Mommy was at the gym. :( She now walks everywhere!
~Eva jabbers all the time, but we can make sense of these words at the appropriate times: "Momma, Dadda, Em-ma, done."
~She is experimenting with organic 2% cow's milk, but still prefers Mommy's boob juice in a bottle.
~Eva is sleeping about 12-14 hours at night, and about 3 hours during the day!
~Eva's personality is really surmounting. She is not as laid back as we originally thought.....

Favorites!
Food: Bananas--she eats a whole one most mornings, also ANY fruit--we have to give her proteins and dairiy BEFORE the fruit or she won't eat anything else!
Drink: Mommy's boob juice, and WATER--she drinks it so fast that she is out of breath!
Activity: Reading books--she brings us books and plops on our laps
Cartoon with Emma: Dora--she loves to dance to the theme song!

Emma's favorite things about Squish: knocking her down, jumping on her tummy, and listening to her laugh--all at the same time!
Daddy's favorite thing about Squish: Her "squish-factor" and her giant blue eyes.
Mommy's favorite thing about her cupcake: The way she completes us, and makes every day another day that I cherish.....
