Evie Babe

Evie darling is now talking - lots! And boy, she feels part of the gang! She is learning stacks of words each day now. Today she learnt: starfish, jellyfish, seahorse. She also loves to blame poor Josephine for many of her ills saying "Jozie pushed Evie!" or "Jozie hurt Evie!!" (while Josephine is innocently in another room or even in KG).
Besides that, she loves dressing herself now and can entertain herself with a pair of socks, pull on nappy, Josephine's underwear ...for quite a bit! Today she pulled on 4 pairs of pull up Pampers nappies! Somewhere in between were some Charlie and Lola pants...and dare you take 'em off!!
Anyway, she's very girl. She loves playing with dolls (getting them dressed, putting them to sleep, etc, etc). She loves dancing. She waves at every tom, dick and harry on the street rounding her performance off with a dramatic kiss being blown to them.
She also loves dogs, playing with other children. She's a tease and purposefully snatches things away from Josephine ...just to get a reaction. Othertimes she does things - naughty things - and watches me out of the corner of her eye. I can see her cheeks bunching up as she smiles (side profile) and when I playfully say "Eeeeevie...!!!" she bursts out laughing.
She's terribly ticklish on her feet.
She loves massages.
She doesn't mind her hair being washed too much - wow!! But she hates it being brushed/styled.
She loves being sung to and danced with.
She loves walking up my legs and then doing a backward turn at the top.
Generally, she's very patient and a very happy child.
I love her personality, her red hair and brown eyes to bits!!! She's totally edible!
She says to me: "Evie, Mamma's baby."
