We have two Advent calendars that Eliana gets to open each day. One is a wooden Christmas tree. There is a door for each day of the month with a little ornament that you hang on the tree.
The other is an Advent calendar from IKEA. Behind each door is a little piece of Swedish chocolate. (Elvin is rather jealous of this one...but Ellie isn't interested in sharing her little chocolate square..)
Eliana is now 36" tall and has figured out a way to open the refrigerator door. This makes the fridge yet another place where she can scavenge for food.
She regularly resists taking naps or bedtime. On most days, she'll do whatever she can to keep herself awake. Here is a nonsensical song that she's making up on the fly.
This week, Karina had her 4-month check-up. Her pediatrician called her "chunky." That's saying something given that the doctor sees all types of babies all day long.
And here's a picture of both girls sucking on their pacifiers and chillin' out after bathtime. What a life, huh?
It is very important to Eliana that they wear matching jammies every night, and each night she asks Mommy, "what we wearing tonight?" We have had to be creative with some of the matches - same color (sort of) or both have animals on them somewhere, or something. This match is pretty good, though! (just a side note, Ellie has NEVER used a pacifier...until after Karina was born, and can only manage it for about a minute, but still insists she needs it periodically)
