An Aunt, Uncles, and Cats - Oh My!

Evie is feeling better, eating better, and getting her strength back. She isn't falling asleep in the kitchen anymore! Her cardiologist happens to be on vacation right now, so we'll have to wait to discuss her angiogram results with him.

On Sunday, Uncles David and Brad came over to visit, and we all piled into the minivan to head over to Auntie Di and Uncle Kevin's house. It had been months since the kids and cats had played together! Needless to say, they all had a great time. Evie fed Fergie a treat for the first time:

Uncle David gave out treats, too:




Gavin was super excited to play with the cats. He kept placing their toys near them (or on their backs) and they would give him this look like "What am I supposed to do with that?"




Evie found a box to sit in, and Uncle Brad was happy to push her around in it:

Everyone watched as Auntie Di helped Fergie show off:

Gavin shook Fergie's paw. He was just so excited to be there! He chased both cats at one point, and we had to remind him to be gentle and not stomp his feet, but overall he did pretty good for being an almost-three-year-old boy.

Evie and Gavin both liked these colorful chairs:

Even though there is another identical chair, Gavin had to sit in Evie's chair with her:

"Hey Fergie - you're in a box, too!"

Gavin shared the laser pointer with the cats (when he wasn't chasing it himself):

Back at home, Uncle Brad and Evie read a book together:

Gavin's vocabulary is still growing exponentially. Over the weekend he learned how to say, "Auntie," and "Unc," and just last night he figured out to to say, "Auntie Di," so of course we called her so she could hear it herself. He puts two-word-phrases together constantly, and occasionally three words. One of his favorite phrases is "fall down," and when he says it, he proceeds to fall down. He is also repeating everything we say!
