Lazy weekend...

This weekend, one of Eliana's cousins, Erica, graduated from college and so we joined festivities around that. Otherwise, we had a low-key weekend. We mostly hung out at home. Eliana's crawling continues to improve and she can get places pretty quickly now. Here she is crawling on the kitchen floor. The squeaky noises she makes means that she's happy. (The noises have recently been mistaken by our neighbor as a bird and by other passerbyers as a squeaky toy.)

We've invented a new game with the Ikea changing pad. It now doubles as a sled that Eliana can ride on and she seems to like it! After the sledding fun was done, we kept the camera rolling so you could witness some of Eliana's typical vocabulary...

Our neighbor has two cats. One of them has taken a liking to Elvin (NOT a cat lover) and ambushes him whenever he is working on the yard. This cat also likes Eliana, or at the very least, doesn't mind her piercing squeaks and rough pats. Eliana, for her part, goes absolutely crazy when she sees the cat (although she is easily distracted by grass and other things within reach)...

And we were noticing how much she has grown when looking at pictures of her in her high chair. Ten weeks ago, her chin was level with the high chair tray. Today, she's much bigger.

This picture was taken in mid-February.
We took this picture today. Look at her hair!
