Big Sister

Elliana is proud to announce that she is expecting a brother or sister around February 15. Actually she does not really care much about that at this point. But one day she will be proud to tell you that she is a big sister.

Although she can tell you a few things right now- Mama, Dad, hut (uh-oh), Dog, Bye are a few of them. She is developing much more of likes and dislikes. If you do something she does not like, she will scream and throw her head back- not a good habit!! She will give a big smile and laugh if she is enjoying herself. She loves to play with Chris and be outside swinging. She does not like to lay down for a nap if she is not very tried or is too tried.

She loves to eat still. I am having a hard time waiting until she is one so she can have many previously forbidden foods- honey, strawberries, … We are still waiting on those upper teeth that were supposedly coming in a couple of months ago.

Elliana can make her way from the living room to the kitchen using the walls. She loves to play at her play kitchen while I am cooking. She can walk with confidence holding on with only one hand. She will also stand on her tippy toes if she is reaching for something.
