If I could just hold her forever

I wish I had a day by day video of the changes in Eva.


She continues to work hard to overcome the tendencies that slow her down.  She is the most gracious-stubborn child you may meet.  


I joke that if I ask my oldest to snuggle, she is in my lap before I finish my sentence.  She never turns me down.  But with Eva, I can not BEG her to sit with me.  It has to be her choice.  And guess what, she is choosing to be held much more often.  And the last two days, she has crawled on the couch and laid down beside me!  This is momentous!  She has never ever considered sitting beside me when I lay on the couch!  She also has this thing about being covered.  She will only allow you to cover her with her special blanket that she always carries around.  However, today while snuggling close on the couch, I pulled the blanket that I had on me to also cover her.  She didn't move... other than to squeeze in close to me.  If only she would stay little so I can make up for all the times she wouldn't let me close.  


Believe me, I take advantage of every moment now.
