Funny Face

We were hoping to post some videos of Elena for all to enjoy; unfortunately, I'm not very technologically saavy. I haven't quite figured out how to upload videos onto the site. I promise to keep trying, though. (If any of you have some advice, feel free to share.) In order to make it up to everyone, I asked Elena to make a bunch of faces for the camera while I took pictures, and she obliged. She's a bit of a ham actually :) Now all you have to do is look through the pictures really fast and pretend you're watching a silent video of her.

Elena is now sitting up very well in her Bumbo (thank you, Mandy!) Mom says she reminds her of Little Miss Muffet - sitting on her tuffet, eating her curds and whey (spit-up).
 

Elena's hobbies currently include trying very hard to roll over onto her tummy and shoving things into her mouth. Her hand coordination is getting better, although she'll still hit herself in the face occasionally if we give her a rattle. She also loves smiling at people - especially her Daddy. We've got quite the social butterfly. Once in awhile she'll even smile back at people when she's upset, which looks really funny because she continues crying with this big smile on her face.

That's all for now. God bless!
