Aunt Jessica came into town this week, too, so Elena got to spend all day Wednesday with Aunt Jessica and Aunt Ruthie instead of going to the daycare. They had lots of fun together, and Elena showed them a whole new meaning to the term "yak" because she went through about 5 outfits in the course of the day! They took lots of pictures, but I'll have to post them later, because Jess has them all.
Elena also got to eat her first rice cereal this week, which was pretty hilarious. I have a video of it, which I will post later. We took the cereal with us to Grandma & Grandpa Price's house while we had our last Christmas with Jess. That way I could feed her, while Jess took pictures and Ruth videotaped it! It was pretty cute, and I will post pictures and video later!
Meanwhile, here are a few cute pictures that I did take this week...
Aunt Jessica brought Elena LOTS of clothes, but this snow suit was one of the cutest things! Even Elena liked it, except...
...she couldn't seem to find her fingers, which she chews on CONSTANTLY now!
Ellen gave Elena this cute dress way before Christmas, but I lost it... so I found it this week and wanted to take some cute pictures of her in it... she cooperated for a second or two,
and then there was much thrashing and screaming (check out the blurs that are her hands and feet!)
For Christmas, Aunt Jessica got Elena a bumbo seat, so now she can sit up! She looks like such a big girl! The seat was perfect for feeding her, and she loves sitting in it. She just looks around, and stares at her toes!
Sitting in the bumbo gives her a whole new perspective on her butterflies!
Elena is also enjoying her tummy time more now. I was trying to get her to roll over here, but instead she just stared at herself in the mirror. It was pretty cute, as is everything else she does! :)
Elena is growing up so fast, we were talking about all of the little baby things that she doesn't do anymore- she doesn't raise her hand randomly ("Elena has a question"), she doesn't sunbathe, or do bird lips, lots of things that she just kind of stopped doing. But she does so much that's fun now! She looks right at you, and smiles, and laughs (sometimes), sucks on her fingers, sits up, holds her head up, and (the cutest), she rubs her blanket all over her face when she's tired. So it's sad to think about some of the stuff she used to do that was so cute, but it's fun to see all the new things! They come faster and faster!
Stay tuned for pictures from Jessica's visit, and of the first rice cereal!! :)

She is so pretty. I mean seriously. I love the pic of her in the jeans with the little cuffs, and the hair bow. Its rediculous. Love it! I agree, it is so fun to watch them grow and learn new things, but a little sad that they are leaving the little baby versions of themself, and all the old things they did, behind. I really love this age now. She is becoming more of a real person, not just a little baby. Cant wait to see the cereal expereince and the Jess pics. Oh, I also love the pic where she is flailing around screaming and you can hardly see her hands and feet b/c they are flapping so fast. Haha, I can totally relate.
