5 Months ago, our family was completed with the arrival of our little Princess! We are in shock each month at how fast time is flying and how quickly she is changing.
How did she go from a tiny 6 lb peanut to a sweet butterball who has more than doubled her weight?
She has changed even today! In this past month Eliana has:
*Started rolling over more from stomach to back (probably so we'll quit giving her tummy time!)
*Started rolling halfway over from back to stomach
*Gone paci-free:) She now chews on her fingers, especially her thumbs and her blankets. Just this morning I came in to find her with her blanket hanging out of her mouth!
*Really started laughing. Like the rest of her, it is really soft and sweet like she is tickled, not big belly laughs.
*Upgraded from a compact to a minivan, a.k.a. the cradle to the crib! She is lovin' the extra space! (and so are we:)*Has taken over our bedroom! Hopefully if we move sooner or later, we'll be able to have our bed back:)
*Started wearing 3-6 month clothes but still wears a lot of 0-3 month, too. Still wears size 2 diapers.
*Got pink-eye and her first really nasty illness. She just got better and sadly is sick again:(
*Has started in the past couple of days changing how she talks. Instead of only cooing and "ahh's", she is adding a few "eeee" sounds and soft "da's." It's very cute!
*Started to grab her legs. She's working down to her feet but for now is grabbing her sweet, fat knees:)
*Is in love with life! She loves to watch her busy-bee brothers, adores fresh air and sunshine, can't get enough of daddy and wants to cuddle with me at all hours of the day (and night).
*Has the nicknames: E, Princess, Sweetiana, Baby, Little Girl, Chubster, Missy, Little Missy, Precious, Sweet Girl and probably more;)
So thankful for this precious Gift every single minute of the day! We love you, Eliana Caroline!
