Week 49

Well, not too much to say about this week... it's continued much like the last couple. Elena keeps growing, and her first birthday just keeps getting closer and closer... which sometimes makes me excited and sometimes makes me sad... She is getting much better at walking, too, which is fun, and dangerous! She totally cracked her head at daycare this week trying to walk between me and one of her teachers. She has been very fussy this week, mostly because she was getting another tooth. The second top tooth has just peeked through, and as soon as it did she was a much happier baby!

We got to actually spend a whole weekend home together, which was wonderful. Saturday we hung out at home, had a good breakfast, and went for a walk on the trail. But that's about the most exciting thing we did this week, which was just fine with us!

Some pictures from our refreshingly uneventful week...

My big girl, sleeping without a swaddle... this is what she does: she flips on her stomach, buries her face in her blanket, and sticks her butt in the air. She's a thrasher, though... by morning she's turned totally around and usually in the complete opposite side of the crib!

Well, in case Elena ever needs proof... here's proof that she's abused! We found this balloon, and, well, just had to have some fun with it! Check out the hair!!

And someday we'll use this to blackmail her... or maybe we'll show it to her first boyfriend... the possibilities are endless! :)And the abuse continues... maybe she will be a lion for Halloween!
During our walk on the trail... by the time we reached the bridge, which is where we turn around, she was not a very happy camper. Mostly, she was tired, but she wouldn't go to sleep in the stroller. So she PASSED OUT on the way home!
Now that we've broken her of the cd shelf habit, she's moved on to some new helpful activities... like emptying the shoe rack,
and helping fold laundry. It's important to note that those clothes were ALREADY FOLDED!
Just love this picture...
"Go ahead. Make my day."
Anyway, that's about it. A short post, but not much to report. Just some funny pictures for you to enjoy!
