the ever show

the latest on this 14 month old

ever insists upon wearing her sunglasses around the house these days.  she tries to put them on herself but usually can't quite do it so she comes up to me and hands them over for some assistance.  she decided in order to play this morning she would need to wear sunglasses.  what is even better is that as soon as i put them on her she runs to the mirror and is quite pleased with herself.

i'm always catching ever trying to eat paper.  as you can see from this picture here she has a tiny piece of paper on her lip while kicking back on her papa.  relaxing like a boss!

she likes to play dress up already....sometimes it is a scarf, like in these pictures or occasionally i'll find her wearing one of my shirts or a sports bras.  no matter what it is she goes to the mirror and says pretty.

ever is always a stylish character.  here she is dressed up with blue smile thanks to a blueberry smoothie, an iphone cord as a mouth accessory.  the look is completed with mismatched pajamas and a random box she considers to be a toy.    

this is a recent favorite shot of her.  each evening we try to let her run off some energy because she is full of it.  the only problem with this is she knows no limits.  she takes off running and refuses to hold our hands.  when i do hold her hand she immediately sits down and says no no no.  when we take her inside after lots of play she throws the biggest fits.  if she falls and gets hurt outside (which has happened twice this week) she might cry for a moment then gets up and takes off running again.  she is too busy to be hurt.   

oh and you'll always see her with a rock in each hand.  if she drops one she finds another.  i cannot even tell you how many random rocks i find in the house each day.  i smile every time i find one because i think it is incredibly cute.

a few night ago my mom watched ever while we went out for a quick date.  they went several places together including the cemetery.  it was ever's first time at my dads resting spot.    

i thought these pictures were beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time.

i recently walked up to this scene, only ever was lying on top of the pile originally.  poor pellegrino.  he is the absolute best kitty for always putting up with ever's nonsense.  he really loves ever and she really loves him.  the other day she was pulling on pellegrino and i got after her and told her she needed to be nice.  now whenever she pets him she says nice.  such a smart sweet girl.
