October Photo


It was cool for a few days in October.  The rest of the time has been in the high 80-90s.  That means we are still enjoying walking without sweaters yet!

I have tons of stories and pictures to share, but not the time to share them yet.  I hope to update some more soon, but we'll just see.

Before I forget though, here are a few things Eliana is up to:
*climbing into her chair at the dinner table.
*signing dog, more, eat, milk, thank you, please, shoes, bread, hot, and we're working on banana, cat, car, fish, bear, doll, and a few others.
*LOVES to be outside, and is rather upset when we bring her back inside.
*has decided she hates her car seat (which made the 40 minute trip to a special pumpkin patch rather stressful).
*has her fourth molar coming through (thus she isn't eating too well).
*is learning to run (which is hysterical.... I can say that now since she hasn't run away from us in public... yet).
*loves when Rachel, Ruli, and Brice come over to play.
*loves talking to GramE on Skype.
*enjoys "reading" books and having us read them to her.
*has been calmed down from more than one tantrum while trying to have a diaper change by singing (some rather silly songs since I make them up as I go to get her to relax).
*loved the girls day out at the zoo with Faith and Zoe.
*can put things in the dirty clothes all by herself.
*sometimes would rather walk by herself than holding onto my hand or Kyle's.
*loved spinach quiche yesterday for lunch (which was a total shock since she hasn't been eating well while getting this molar and in general tries to hand me all green foods).
*still doesn't like tomatoes or bell pepper (takes after Kyle).
*loves olives, raisins, fruit, noodles, cheese, and chili verde enchiladas.
*doesn't like to be in grocery cart seat for more than about 10 minutes at a time (BIG sigh), but she does enjoy walking with Kyle to go get an item at a time while I fill the cart as quickly as possible.
*still makes strangers laugh, smile, and glow while we are out and about.
*knows where her belly, head, feet, nose, and ears are (which means she also found that there are finger sized holes in her nose... :) ).

Sounds like Eliana is a busy girl! I sympathize with the teething experience. Naomi is cutting her first two and it's the pits. I've heard those molars are a doozy!!! Good job Mama. Love you guys. Thanks for the update. :)
