Olives!

We went to an Italian restaurant last week for supper, and Seth gave Elena the olives on his salad. That wasn't enough for her so the waitress brought out a whole plate of olives, and she ate pretty much the entire plate. She definitely gets that from Seth. I can't stand olives!

Anyway, the next day when we had to change her poopy diapers, we decided we probably won't bet letting her do that again. PU!!

Storytime

Elena is getting to be quite the chatterbox. It will be nice when we can understand what she is saying. She's very expressive and uses a variety of intonations like she's really telling you something. Here's a video of her reading a story to us. It sounds pretty interesting.

Still waiting

Elena's going to be a late walker. I have no problem with that...at least I didn't until the warm weather came. Now she LOVES playing outside; and since she's still crawling, we're having a little trouble keeping her clean. It doesn't help that she much prefers playing with dirt to anything else she finds outside. On the bright side, I'm getting lots of practice at getting stains out of clothes.

Gardening

I know, I know. It's been way too long since I've put up a new post. Computer time has dropped drastically on my priority list, especially with the nice weather. The main reason I've been neglectful though is that we're expecting another baby! Baby #2 is due Dec 15th, and we are very excited for Elena to have a little brother or sister. Once the 1st trimester is over I should be sleeping and puking less and will thus have more time to devote to keeping you all properly updated. I'm heading to bed now, but before I go I thought I should at least leave you all with a few pictures to tie you over until next time.

My dad spent the entire afternoon planting us a beautiful garden today. I can't wait to enjoy the fruits of his labor (actually it will be mostly vegetables). Elena was fascinated by the process. Here are a few shots of the little gardener watching and learning.
