Making It Mediterrasian: Eva Turns 2!!!

So, like I stated before, I'm a little behind on my updates. But last month, our little Eva Diva turned 2 years old! I know everyone always talks about the terrible twos, but honestly the sweetness and developmental growth during this time far outweighs the occasional grumps. She talks in full sentences now, and usually even uses the correct verb tense and pronoun. I'm not even surprised by the things she says anymore. She is extremely verbal, and it's so fun because we can have real conversations now and even make up jokes. I love her spunky and feisty little personality. Eva is so happy all of the time, and she loves to be the center of attention around the people she is close with. She has even made a few friends at school and likes to talk about them at home. It's so sweet, she names each one of them and calls them her "frennzz." She takes one nap a day from about 1-3:30ish, and sleeps through the night. Recently, she started having night terrors, and those wake us up, but it doesn't take long for her to calm down and get back to normal sleep. Sometimes it takes a little help from mommy and daddy, but she's getting a little better. We were really concerned at first and thought she was in pain at night, but it turns out she's not even awake... it's kinda scary and creepy at the same time. They say that stressors such as starting a new school or fevers can trigger them, and she got her first one shortly after she started school and also was sick. We're hoping that she doesn't have them very often. Anyway, just wanted to share a few updates about our sweet girl (mostly for myself so I can look back and remember them) as well as some pictures from her mermaid/under the sea birthday party last month!
