On the move...

Eliana is getting much better at her walking and is not falling down as often. As you can see in the video, and the picture below, Ellie is really enjoying wearing her backpack these days. She often has it open, half off her shoulders, or falling off completely. But every time she comes upon it, she picks it up and brings it to us to help her put it on.

Eliana has been learning lots of new sign language signs lately - and she catches on very quickly - often just after one or two times, she does it herself. She has added melon, bug, bubble, baby, tree, and flower to her repetoire, as well as getting very good at pointing at what she wants, and telling us "dis", meaning she wants that item. Her favorite foods at the moment are rice chex, chicken nuggets, cheese (especially Daddy's sharp cheddar), egg (as usual), and a new one - creamy ice creams on a stick.

She is always busy doing something...here she is playing with bubbles from her shampoo...

Wearing her mini-backpack around the house...

Making a list...

And, carrying this little Bible that she found. She really likes flipping through the pages for some reason...
