Hello,

I wanted to show off my new toy that I'm finally big enough to play with. It's a bouncer!!! I can move myself back and forth, jump up and down or play with all the toys that are attached. It's so pretty because everything is pink. I love it. I have to say thank you to John and Ann for getting this for me.

As you can see, I have been busy playing with my toys. That's not all I'm doing these days. I'm rolling all over the place. I like to give everybody raspberries. Most of all, I like to scream at the top of my lungs just to hear my voice. My teachers say I sound like a 2 year old. I don't know why I scream, but it's fun to watch daddy and mommy's face when I do it. He-He.

I got to meet my cousins this weekend. Adian is 4, Claire is 1 1/2 and David is 2 months. My Uncle Jim Jim is their daddy. I'm so lucky to have fun, loving cousins. We played all day. I can't wait to see them again.

My hair is finally growing in. Mommy keeps tell me that she can't wait until I can wear pigtails. What is a pigtail? Is that a farm animal? I'm not wearing a pig on my head. Help Nina Help!!!

Mommy had to put all my 3 month clothes away so now I have a bunch of new stuff to wear. Mommy looked sad has she was putting everything in the bin. I guess I won't be wearing that stuff again. I wonder what she plans on doing with it all.

I hear my daddy and I want him to sing for me. He sings and dances all the time. He even made me a couple of songs. The next time you see him ask him to sing one for you. I'm sure he will.

Loves you,

Elia

Hello,

Here is a picture of mommy and me from Mommy's Day. I love my mommy, but she made me dress all up again. Tights, dressy shoes and poofy skirt is what I had to wear to brunch. I usually get to lounge around in my pj's on Sundays. I hope this doesn't happen every weekend.

Well, I'm teething. Mom says that she doesn't see any white yet, but I sure do feel the pressure. I have been chewing on my toys and pacifiers a lot more. If I can't get my hands on something to chew then I hit my gums together like an old lady. The drool, oh the drool, all over me, my bed and ducky. What to do?

The other new thing is that I like to reach for my daddy and mommy. If one is holding me, I reach my arms out for the other one to hold me. I keep going back and forth. I can't make up my mind which one I want. I do know that I want them to hold me all the time or I get sassy.

I have been getting lots of exercise by standing and jumping up and down. Now don't get to excited. Mommy or daddy have to hold onto me because I can't balance myself yet. Mommy thinks that I might skip the crawling and go straight to walking. He-He, good luck to my parents. I plan on running all over this house and them.

Well, I want to go and play with my toes some more. You should try it sometime. It's a go way to have fun while you are waiting on your mommy and daddy to play with you.

Baby smooches,

EJB

Did everybody miss me?!?

I have been a busy girl for the past few weeks. I had to get my parents out the door for their vacation. Then Nina and Papa were here to watch me for a week. Wow, did we have fun! Nina kissed me so much that my cheeks hurt. I even had Papa talking baby talk by the end of the week. He-He. I miss them so much. Hopefully, they come back soon so we can play some more.

Guess what? While my parents were gone, I even rolled over for the first time. Now I have to learn how to roll back over the over way. For now, I just cry and mommy or daddy come to the rescue.

I'm getting so big. Daddy weighed me and he thinks I'm about 15 lbs now. Mommy has been doing lots of extra laundry to get my 6 month clothes ready for me. I'm growing out of everything. One good thing is that my little feet can finally fit into shoes. Now only if I could walk in them. My mommy and daddy help me stand but it's going to be awhile until I'm running around.

I'm still having lots of fun at the Goddard School. I have so many friends now. Harrison still tries to hold my hand on the play mat, but I like to play with Carson more. He smiles at me every time mommy brings me into my classroom. The funny thing is that he doesn't have any hair at all. He looks like mommy and daddy's friend Ryan Plowman, Ha-Ha.

I'm drooling a lot these days. I love to chew on anything I can get my little hands on. I guess I will be getting something called teeth. What am I suppose to do with teeth? Chew my formula? How am I suppose to know all these things?

Well, I better go before mommy catches me out of my crib and on the computer again. I promise to keep up with my blog. Look for a new post on Sunday.

Kiss, Hug, Kiss

Elia

PS Auntie Sara Sommer: Can you tell Uncle Wil that I think of him every time I wear this onesie? Mommy told me he likes superheros. "I am Elia. The super cute baby of cuteness. My secret powers are my giggles that make you smile. But I will knock you over with my poopie diapers when you least expect it."
