Eliana's Yeh-yeh and Nai-nai (Elvin's parents) flew up to visit from California last weekend. So given Eliana's love for the neighbor's cat, we figured she would go bonkers at the zoo. At the Oregon Zoo, Eliana did get excited over the cats. (You can hear her saying "Go-go", the neighbor's cat's name, and Ellie's favorite thing.)
Besides that, however, the elephant bored her, she thought the otter was a dog, was uninterested in the rhinoceros, and she couldn't have cared less about the reptiles or the fish. The only time in the afternoon that she perked up was when she spotted the chicken's in the zoo's demonstration farm. She's still a little bit too young to appreciate the zoo, so we might try again in a few months. Nevertheless, she was tired after a day at the zoo.
Eliana is getting pretty good at going up and down the stairs. Although we still accompany her, we let her go up and down un-assisted. Here she is going down...
As you know, we have been teaching Eliana baby signs along with spoken words. She's starting to develop quite a vocabulary and picks them up pretty quickly now. Here is a small taste of the ones that she knows...
She likes water and likes her bath. She especially likes bubbles, which she has learned to say and sign. She asks for bubbles all day long. It's fun to rub the bubbles all over your body. But it's not that fun getting it into your eyes.
And she asked for a snack of cheese, which she dumped on the ground!
