Where has the time gone? The fact that I am in the initial stages of planning a first birthday party for my daughter is unbelievable to me. Where oh where did my little 6 lbs 12oz peanut go?
Elaina is up on her feet a lot these days, but not quite comfortable walking independently. She continues to be very speedy and agile and spends the majority of her days exploring. She is very quizzical and curious and points at everything she finds interesting exclaiming “dis, dis.” I assume she means “this, this.”
She is packing away the food and refuses to eat anything deemed babyish. Her favorite thing right now is chicken ravioli. She also really likes pepperoni and guacamole (even when there are jalapenos and onions in it!) She certainly does not have a bland pallet.
She continues to be enthralled with our cats and LOVES her books. As soon as she wakes up in the morning she immediately goes to her book basket and pages through all of her stories. Her favorite book is a toss up between The Foot Book by Dr. Seuss and Gyo Fujikawa’s Babies.
She continues to sleep like a champ at night, but daytime sleep remains pretty unpredictable. Sometimes we’re lucky enough to get a three hour afternoon nap, but normally it’s about an hour in the morning and an hour after lunch.
She continues to delight both Scott and me, and everyday we’re enthralled by some new feat of hers. Most recently she graced me with a big gummy kiss on the cheek, and she can now hug on command. Both of which, of course, turn us into sappy puddles of mush.
