Eliana 2 years and 5 months

When I watch Eliana it is amazing to think that she was once Lilah's age! I could best summarise Eliana's days with these words: dancing, singing, spinning, (pretend) reading, dress ups, socialising and playing jokes on Lilah. She can communicate fairly well these days, although I have to translate for others sometimes because she has a little Aussie accent.

Eliana's most favourite things to do are to go outside and to go and play with friends. We have been blessed with a 'mild' winter here in Louisville with it sometimes reaching the 50s F/10s so Eliana is always excited when I bring the pram out to get some fresh air.

I was able to get a short clip of Eliana "reading" one of her favourite books. It's a book from the 70s on the folk song "This Old Man". We love it. I had to sneak up from behind to record her because as soon as she sees the camera she usually stops what she's doing and wants to "see Ana". Technology is a blessing, but that screen on the back of the camera is a nemesis to the mother of a toddler :)

Here's a last little sneak peek of Eliana entertaining Lilah (and Daddy):
