Karina is getting stronger everyday too. She can hold her neck up and when propped up against the sofa, can sit up as well, for a while.
One of Eliana's favorite activities right now is watching videos on YouTube. Specifically, she watches Calliou, which is a cartoon about a boy and his family. The videos we let her watch are dubbed in Portuguese, which she seems to understand. The boy is a little whiny, though, and Eliana, unfortunately, has started copying him a little. We're going to have to find a better role model for her.
A Costco opened up not 2 miles from our house this past week. On the evening before the grand opening, people were invited to tour the facilities and feast on hors d'ourves. Instead of little snacks, they served all-you-can-eat pizza, hot dogs, chicken bakes, smoothies, salmon, cheese platters, roast beef, egg rolls, ice cream, gelato and more. We were all stuffed. Eliana did not have enough hands to keep up with what she wanted to eat.
She also continues to have a fascination with goggles. Eliana found a pair of swimming goggles from her older cousins and loves wearing them. She wanted to wear them to church, but we told her 'no.'
Eliana has also expressed interest in learning how to use chopsticks. We bought a pair of training chopsticks for her. It slows down her eating, but she enjoys using them.
We are looking to move Karina from our room into the nursery. That meant moving Eliana from the nursery, where she's been sleeping on the twin bed, into her own room. We spent the weekend re-arranging furniture and Eliana was very excited to have her OWN ROOM!
And as part of her bedtime routine, she gets two books read to her. But instead of wanting to hold her baby sister in her lap, she wanted Karina to sit next to her. In this picture, Karina looks to be enjoying the book as much as Eliana. She's come a long ways in the past 3 and a half months!

(We guess that she's seen Elvin eat the peel). When she was done with it, the apple looked like the cratered surface of the moon.
