Mummzie's two year old is nearly all little girl now and not baby girl anymore. Sniff! She's grown a whole inch in 6 weeks and is suddenly rough, noisy, and adventurous. What happened to my cautious, quiet, "pet child?" I do love her new ideas and silliness, makes me feel like she's, is after all, related to me! Eva-Jean (as her Mimi calls her) is still very obedient for a toddler and just as lady-like as ever, but she musta swallowed a gallon of water trying to be a "duck-el-ing-shark" at the pool last week and she is trying new things (like walking down the stairs) on her own every day. Yay for courage! Because of her new found curiosity, she's gotten into a bit more trouble (only a bit, she's still Eva) lately. Like here, she woke from her nap rather tangled in the dress she tried to escape from, then changed her mind and tried to put back on by herself.
"Dats better! Mommy biscuit!" (fixed it)
It's such fun to watch her come up with ideas for creative play, like here, where she was helping unload the groceries and suddenly decided to feed the local "duck-el-ings" Greek vinaigrette.
She ran around for 10 minutes trying to offer the ducks the dressing.
As she's matured she's been easier to travel with and quicker to enjoy new things. It was such fun last month to go see Great Grandmama and Granddaddy in Richmond.
Discovering just how silly Granddaddy can be.
"Do I look beautiful, Eva?" "No!"
Her latest and greatest (to her) joke is whenever anyone asks her what sound a horse makes the answer is always " Moo!" (hysterical fake laughing) She definitely is my child.

Love my job as "Mummzie" to this little girl!
Love it all! I was thinking today how I wished we had taken pics of the hidden jewelry escapade--very 2yr.old-ish and one to remember! She's a sweetie!
