Here is a flash back of a video I meant to post a looooong time ago! My mum and brothers use to play this game with me when I was a little girl, and I know mum still likes to play it with her grandchildren. Eliana was about 3 or 4 months when the video was taken. It's for you Grandma!

Important Milestones
Two wonderful things happened over the weekend! I was able to put Eliana's hair in a pony tail and I found Eliana scribbling on some of my work for the first time. These 2 firsts were almost as exciting as her first steps for me :)
Below she is 'brushing her hair'. Recently she figured out how to unzip the bag that holds most of her hair things, much to her delight. She likes to empty it every day. Her favourite item is the hair brush. She'll even brush my hair for me every now and again.

16 months
With all of this winter weather in Eliana's 16th month, we had to get her some gumboots so that she can play in the rain and snow. You can see her modelling them below. They have been a very worthwhile purchase! I'm not sure how much Eliana enjoys the snow, but she LOVES rainy weather and splashing her boots in rain puddles. My favourite day out is by far the random sunny, almost pleasant days that Louisville has spoilt me with this winter.
Not much new has happened this month. Eliana seems to have slowed down on her growth spurt. We've seen a drastic drop in how much she eats and she is gradually transitioning out of those 2 beloved daytime naps. Her favourite activities these days are brushing her teeth, going outside in her boots and reading books. I think Eliana could sit on my lap and read books all day if I let her.
She has started climbing on some things, like the couch. She's still not saying too many words. Sometimes I worry about that, but then I read the Psalms and see that people who are facing death are praising and thanking God. I see examples of friends around me who are facing much hardship and turmoil, yet they trust and praise God. My eyes are then turned to things above. What really matters is that Eliana will grow to know and love the Lord Jesus. And I have so much to be thankful for. Look at that sweet, healthy, happy face! Nate also reminds me of Jesus' words in Matthew 6 - being anxious won't help a thing. Seek first the kingdom God :)
