Some of Elena

I haven't been posting as often as I would like. It just seems like I never have any time....maybe I just don't make any. I thought I would post a little about Elena and what she has been up to. To start, Monday morning she had a fever that lasted throughout the day. We already had her well baby appointment so it was sort of good timing...the doc checked her out and saw that her throat looked irritated. It wasn't strep because she had just finished up some antibiotics for an ear infection, so he said she had a virus (so we really can't do anything about that). She was trying to play that day but she just didn't have the energy. She mostly wanted to hang out with me and sit on my lap. Dora was on TV so she decided she wanted me to read her Dora book to her but not just once, of course, but about 3 times that day. Tuesday she did much better having only one fever although she was still very tired and very, very grumpy. She was even throwing fits and screaming. I hope it isn't going to be a usual thing but I must say this morning she was up to her grumpiness. I am happy that she is feeling much better! Our baby girl is now 15 months old and she is learning so much! She says hello, hola, mama, papa, tata (short for grandpa in Spanish), nana (short for grandma in Spanish), wow wow (for dog) uh oh, tia (for tortilla) she can sort of say leche (milk), agua (water) and of course she can say no. She pretty much eats everything. The only things she doesn't really like are tuna and lettuce. Other than that she is our little piglet. Here are some pictures of Elena just being a silly little girl.

Here Elena was doing some artwork with her "Pip-squeak" markers but then decided she wanted to smell them then rub her face with the marker in her hand.


Here Elena thought it would be hilarious to hide under the blanket then hurry to take it off to scare everyone. So cute! She was having so much fun with that hideous thing.
