What's New in the 'Hood?

Elena had her 2 month check-up today. Lots of pokes (boo), a new weight (11 lbs 4 oz), and a belly button check (the infection is gone, inside and out). She was a brave little girl for her Papa and only cried for a short while. Her doctor is very happy with her progress. Next appointment is in 2 months. Hopefully we won't have any illness between appointments this time (knock on wood).

We have the signing for the house on Friday morning. Renovations begin promptly Saturday morning. We have roughly 4 weekends and a few after-work hours to do everything before we have to be out of the apartment. Hopefully things will move along quickly and we start moving our stuff in mid-March; definitely by the end of March.

We have a solid date for Elena's baptism. For those of you interested, plan on April 13 at 1:00pm. I'll be sending out info regarding the location of the church and directions to our new place (cuz we gonna PARty after!)

Elena has found her smile and is working on her laugh (she sounds a bit psychotic when she tries). We are trying to get a good minute or so of smiles on video, but she clams up when the spotlight is on her.

Elena is also beginning to recognize faces. I'm putting together a project for her new room so she can start to learn faces of family members that live far away. If you have a good, clear shot of your face, send it my way. Digital pics sent via email or flikr link are best, since I can print a large size. I hear that babies especially like pictures of other babies' faces (hint, hint, M and L) Thanks in advance for all donations!!
