Stop Talking

Can you tell Eliana wanted her dad off the phone? We're gonna do this to her when she's 16 and on the phone.

Pointing and Books and Pointing in Books

I'm amazed everyday at how much Eliana is learning. She knows her body parts, when you ask her to get something or do something she knows what you're talking about and usually does it. Also, she loves seeing lions because she loves to roar like a lion (I like hearing it too).

Ellie Tails

I put Ellie's hair up in "Ellie Tails" like my mom used to do for me. Unfortunately Ellie liked to pull them out. Guess we'll have to wait a little longer before I try it again. It takes longer to put two back in after she pulls them out! (she already pulled them out a couple times before I could take her pic)

Happy and Sad

So sad. Our little angel doesn't like being told no. It's already hard enough to tell her no, then she has to go and pull out the lip.

She finds anything she can to push, pull, or carry it doesn't matter how big it is. She's the only one at Story Sprouts at the library who has to lift the entire toy box and carry it rather than just picking out one toy. This is the bag we take to swimming lessons with us.
She's happy now because that black blob is daddy throwing snowballs at the window. (I was using a wide apeture, thus the blurry Ben)

Body Parts

Eliana is learning her body parts.

Where's your tummy?

Where is your hair?

Where are your toes?

Presents From Aunt Rosie

We had some Christmas presents dropped off to the house from Ellie's Great Aunt Rosie. Thanks You Aunt Rosie.

I love the look on her face. Hmmm, I think this will work well with my figure!

Daddy Time

Kisses from Daddy.

She always wants daddy to play the Elmo songs with her.

Daddy's stinky feet.

Clapping along to Elmo's music.

Sock Fettish

Eliana's new favorite thing to do is take her socks and shoes off and then she tries to put them back on. Every time I go to get her from her carseat, her socks and shoes are off.

Ponytails and Glow Worms

I've started putting her hair in a pony tail and everyone says it's a hit.

She loves her Glow Worm. She gives it hugs and pats it on the back. You can tell she's patting him because her hand is blurred from the motion.

Oldies but Goodies

Check out these pictures I found by our photo album. Towards the end of our private child birthing class they had to have pictures of Ben in the empathy belly. He had to wear it the entire Saturday. Poor Ben.

Playing in the Snow.

Rocking Chair

Is my hat still on?

I'm gonna hide so you don't put that hat on me again.

Belle likes to be rocked.

Eliana's 1st Birthday Party

Thank you for everyone who came to her party. We were so glad you could celebrate with us.

Playing the morning of her BIG party!

Put the shapes in the bucket.

Now dump them out.

Put the blocks in the box.

Now dump them out.

Sing along with Elmo.
