The Sweet Scoop

Elia remains to be the SWEETEST babie ever!!!! She is amazing!!!
She sleeps anywhere from 9 pm - 10 or 11 am the next day give take a little. She then is awake for about an hour or two then naps for a good 2 - 4 hours, then is awake for two, then another good nap or a couple of cat naps. She falls asleep and transitions to bed without a fuss and wakes up with a little whimper or cry but greets you with a smile when you reach her bed.
She LOVES to talk to people... yes, conversing is for sure her favorite thing to do! At church she is just this biggest social bug, she smiles and talks to everyone she sees and everyone eats it up. I definitely see me in her in this part of her personality. Love it! My heart melts as I write... sigh! :o)
She loves to stand on your lap and has since early on has excellent head control.
She does not like belly time, it is torture for her! I suspect she may skip the whole crawling thing and go straight to walking.
She is drooling big time! She can soak up a bib in no time! I keep peeking in there for some teeth... I know they must be in the works.
She loves sucking on her hands and on her bib.
She is holding her little stuffed animals now, which is so sweet! There is one dolly that says "I love you" and makes kissing sounds that she loves and smiles at.
One very funny thing that she did the other day and again today is she yells at daddy... It started about two days ago when Donnie was at the kitchen table with the kids and I was holding Elia and they were play shouting at each other all excited about who knows what and Elia just look right at Donnie as bright eyed as can be and blatently shouted "uuahhaah" at him! She did it about 10 times with pauses for reaction in between. We were taken aback and looked at each other like "huh?" and looking at her trying to figure out if she was about to cry or what. We had never seen anything like it! Then this evening, she did the same thing, all on her own, out of know where, she was sitting on my lap and looked over at Donnie and shouted "ahhaah" at him two or three times. Hehehe... spunky, huh!? :o) Tooo cute!!!
