T is for...

Tummy Time...
Elena has been working hard on her tummy time lately. She is getting really good at holding her upper body up, even without the assistance of her hands. she can also, get up on her knees, but not at the same time that her torso is up. She can also getting her legs kicking SO FAST when she is on her belly. I con;t know how soon she'll be crawling, but she is gonna be a GREAT swimmer!

Tunes...
We got the new Barenaked Ladies children's album. IT IS AWESOME!!! I love it so much. I bought it for Elena, but I have been listening to it non-stop. I would recommend it for any parent who is tired of hearing the same old kids songs.

Tub...
Elena has graduated to baths in the big tub. She loves her baths so much and kicks her feet so hard, that she was sliding herself right off the seat of the baby tub. I was afraid she was going to hurt herself, so into the big tub she goes. She can kick and splash and play with her turtles and be a happy little baby.

Tooth...
This was going to be T for Teething, but I got side tracked. So we had one day of a bit of crabbiness and then there it was. 1 little tooth (bottom, middle) and another trying to poke through.

Baby Whirlwind

Elena is just a little busy baby. She really enjoys her Jumping Jack jumper. She spends lots of happy time bouncing in the doorway as Mommy does dishes or Daddy makes dinner. She also got an Exersaucer today. She hasn't tried it out much yet. Today was a busy day and she was just too tired to focus on her new toy. She tried out the saucers at Grandma and Grandpa H's house, as well as at school, and LOVED it, so we have high hopes.

Elena also started veggies this past week. Green beans have been the pick of the week; peas will start on Wednesday. She REALLY loves her beans. I admit, I tried them as well. They are really good (I can't say the same of the rice cereal.)

There isn't too much else happening in our household. We are all very excited by the news that a new cousin for Elena is on the way! We are also starting to get the yard into shape. Ray's uncle was very generous, buying and tuning up a lawn mower for us. How much fun it is to be mowing the lawn again!!

Here are some new Kiki pics.
