Breakfast Dance

Elia just started doing this! I think she picked it up from one of the kids at music class. It is more hilarious when she is standing up. There is a little knee action that goes with it. We will try and get that on video soon. She also just started the "Bye Bye". She can say Mama, Dada, uh oh, and bye bye. And a version of raarrr that her stuffed animal Leon the Lion says.

Zoo

We recently went to the Zoo here for the first time. It was really nice. We got a membership so that we can really enjoy it all summer. I look forward to seeing it when all the trees have filled in.

First Birthday Gift

Elia will be one soon! Grandma Robin and Grandpa Jaime sent her an adorable fluffy turtle and an amazing butterfly specimen wall hanging.
We named the turtle "Uga" like in tortuga.
Thanks Grandma and Grandpa!

Eleven months

Well, as you can see I have become a big girl! Eleven months old already! It sure has gone by fast. I remember being very little and not doing much. Who knew life would be so exciting?! I love being a big girl. I walk and climb. I jump and I dance. I get to wear big girl shoes and walk outside. When I am not wearing them, I like to eat them. I can say Mamma and Dadda and Rarrghgh! (That is what my friend Leon the Lion says.) I LOOOOVe to laugh. I do it all the time. I am learning how to communicate with Mommy by using my hands. She thinks I am brilliant. I can tell her I am all done and can wave bye bye. I have a new high chair and have been eating meals with Mommy and Daddy. I like fruit and noodles and yogurt. Oh and cheese! I love cheese. Really, this being a big girl is soooooo much fun. I can not wait until next month. Mommy says we are going to have a Butterfly party! She seems pretty excited about it. I am wondering what this "cake" thing is and can't wait to try it!

I gotta go Mommy! I have things to do!
