Big Sister

Ever since Lillian was born and Eliana was no longer the baby of the family, I feel like she has grown up over night!  She has been such a big helper and also does so many things to keep us all giggling.

Taking care of business during dinner

 This little girl loves her some m&m's--but it looks like we should just stick with plain next time...spitting out the peanuts is a lot of work!

She got her nails painted for the first time this weekend and has been admiring her polished piggies ever since!

This little girl LOVES to "sing"--here she is doing the motions to "If You're Happy and You Know It" with Grandma.

Singing isn't the only thing she's passionate about:

got milk?

Eliana's imagination cracks us up sometimes:

She is learning more and more sounds/words.  Right now, the list includes: uh-oh, da-da, ma-ma, up, eat, cracka (cracker--this girl loves snacks, so it doesn't surprise me she has figured out how to ask for them!), more, and go.  Whenever Eliana is given a choice of something she will look over her options carefully, say "umm", and then point which one she wants.  Her animal sounds include: moo, neigh, roar, quack, and baa.
