from Elaina...

I had my first dr visit at 1:15 today! Mama forgot the camera, but Daddy had his camera phone. I gained an ounce from my last weight check at the hospital. Now I am 5 lbs, 13 oz! I didn't even fuss or cry the whole way there and back! Mama says I am very relaxed. Robert and I read a book together when I got home.

Sweet, sweet Elaina resting on Mama!

"No, Daddy.... I..... neigh!"

Take 2!

I really like horses. Mama cut up some apples to take along so we could feed them. This is my second trip to the horse farm!

Cousin fun!!!!!!!

We're starting to multiply...

My Valentine's Day Pictures

alphabet song

You caught me humming, Mama!

No boys.

No... boy! I don't want the boy to eat the pizza; only the girl! Everytime Mama reads me this pizza book, I don't like it when the boy eats the pizza!

Horses and Apples

Neigh!

I love horses! I call them "Neigh." My twin friends took us to a horse farm on Sunday afternoon. You could walk around for free and feed them apples. When Mama eats an apple I want to give one to my stuffed horse at home now. When we read books about horses, I like to say, "Neigh... apples." Daddy and I were very brave to pet the horses, too.

Jack & Ryan's 2nd Birthday Party!

Play date

Thursday we went to a play date with friends from church. Mostly girls my age were there, but I had a lot of fun! I love to play in the "kitchen!"

I love ....

I love my Mama.

pizzzzzza!

Daddy and Mama made a deal that if I slept in my bed 7 nights in a row without awaking, we'd go out for pizza. I surprised them by actually doing it! I ate 3 pieces of pizza and lots of parmesan cheese!

Catch me!

After two days of being snowed in, Mama is trying to think up new games!

SNOW, SNOW, SNOW

SNOW

Snow day! Daddy's first snow day since high school! We went outside for 30 minutes this morning and a neighbor let us borrow a sled!

Words and Hair Cuts

Daddy and I got hair cuts today! I was so still while my hair was being cut. I had so much hair! Mama and Daddy had such fun watching.

The past few weeks I've added so many words to my vocabulary. I'm really into opposite words ON and OFF, HOT and COLD, and UP and DOWN. I like saying HOME when the car pulls into the garage. I say, "THE BABY," all the time and point to Mama's tummy. Every time I play with a gift from Nanny and Papa or walk by the guest room, I say their names. I even let Mama know if I mess my pants. Hopefully that means I can start potty-training soon!

This week has been a little tough on me. I got in a bad habit throughout December of waking up in the midde of the night and walking into Daddy and Mama's room. Well, they bought a special door knob last weekend, and ever since last Sunday night, I can't open the door anymore. I've been trying to put myself back to sleep when I awake. Sometimes it takes me a long time, so we haven't gotten too much sleep. I've had great naps to make up for it, though!
