Eliana & her stroller


Eliana & her stroller

This is actually from last week, out at the Tot Lot in Prospect Park. You're so proud of your stroller! It might be good if you were a little less attached, but I suppose that comes in time.

You had a fever from Sunday afternoon to Monday afternoon so we have been doing much more holding you than photographing you. Looks like you're getting in 4 teeth, which explains the fever. Anyway, it's Tuesday and your fever broke yesterday and you seem to be in a better mood now.

Tonight you did something that amazed me. Sometimes when I need you to wait for something, I'll say, "Eliana, it's going to be just a minute." And lately you've been repeating back, "Minute."

Tonight, you were in the bath and your bath was winding down...we put away all the toys, drained all of the water, and it was time to get out, but you didn't want to get out.

So you looked at me and said, "minute..." I couldn't believe it, I haven't heard you say "minute" on your own (only repeating it back), much less use it in that way. Wow!

I hear you say so many new words these days. Yesterday you looked at our camera and said, "camera!" On the walk with Emily, Alison & Mark, you were saying something we couldn't understand, then we realized you were saying, "C'mon!" back to us. Recently you've also been saying, "Whose x?" e.g. "Whose shoes?"
