ALL ABOUT EVA

Eva is very tactile. She grabs everything. It is really funny when she holds onto the sides of the carseat because it looks like she is holding on for dear life. I am not that bad of a driver. One not so great thing is when Eva gets sleepy, or while sleeping, she grabs her hair and pulls on it. Hard. She also scratches everything. She is like a cat sharpening her claws. (I try and cut her nails all the time, I swear.) Eva also likes to grab onto her dad’s hair and sometimes bite it (gently). It reminds me of…

Yesterday, Eva’s Dad took the day off from work. We all went on a walk in San Francisco using our Memorable Walks in San Francisco book. Since getting real jobs and having real obligations, Eva’s dad and I have not been able to travel like we used to, so we do little walks in San Francisco and learn new things about the city. For example, the elevator in the St. Francis is like an amusement park ride (not for the faint of heart), there is a mural in the mission of a jalapeno sticking up a taco (okay it’s not a mural but it’s cute, see below), and there is a giant rabbit statue in front of a house on Nob Hill (frightening). Yesterday we walked from Fisherman’s Wharf to Fort Point under the Golden Gate Bridge. We spent about 7 hours walking. We picnicked at Fort Mason with food from Greens (my absolute all time favorite restaurant). It really was a perfect day. Eva had a fantastic time. She really enjoyed watching everything and having the wind blow through her hair. It doesn’t hurt that it was super warm! For a second I thought I was in Panama City.

Eva exhibited her first interest in animals. She has been introduced to horses, dogs, cats and a hairless one-eyed cat (he falls into the cat category, but deserves special mention). She has shown zero interest. Yesterday, she was very interested in a pigeon. I know, how very exotic. She followed him (with her eyes) and watched him pester us (I hate pigeons). She was later mesmerized by ducks and swans.

Eva’s Dad coined a new term. Pinger. This is a finger with poo on it. I can’t believe I just wrote that. We changed a lot of diapers yesterday. And today. And everyday.
We love spending the day with Dad!
