Eliana is walking, talking some, and all in all becoming a little person... As far as walking goes, she walks more than she crawls now, and prefers to be up on her feet. For talking, besides "bird," "book," "ball," and "woof" (she means dog), she now says "bye-bye" and "hi!" and also does signs such as "eat," "please," "bath," and "monkey." She likes climbing up the stairs and going down too. She also enjoys making one of her toys play music and dancing to that.
This is what she did on her birthday...
After waking up, she rode on her scooter.
Before taking a nap, she spent some quality time with Mommy...
In the afternoon, she spent time playing with her new ball. (By the way, you may have noticed the black eye she gave herself by bonking her head on our bookcase.) 
Then Grandma and Grandpa Rice came over to watch Eliana open her many presents.
The book with kittens was a big hit. No surprise since she loves cats. (Here, she is about to do the sign for cat.)
This toy plays notes if you press the keys!
We had a cupcake with a candle, which she had no idea what to do with. So Mommy blew out the candle for her.
After a full day, it was time for a bath. We don't use the plastic tub anymore because she always climbs out of it.
So Eliana had a full day! Tomorrow we leave for a camping trip at the San Juan Islands. We'll be there for four days of hiking and relaxing. We'll let you know how that goes!
