Eliana is almost 1 year old. We can't believe it. She is such a sweet little thing and still seems much younger to Nate and me. However, she is growing strong. There are a few things that we've been trying to teach her for a looong time it seems, that she finally got the hang of this month...
- she started clapping at the start of Aug
- she learned how to sign "more please" in the high chair (which is really the same as her clapping - she now uses that same sign any time she wants us to give her something or pick her up - it's so much nicer than whining!)
- she is eating many finger foods much better
- she is finally waving 'hello' and 'goodbye'
Each milestone is so exciting to us, but we are in no rush. Every day is so precious and we love watching her grow bit by bit. She has a sweet, bubbly personality. She loves to explore yet still loves long cuddles with her mamma. She is clingy in strange environments. She's great with familiar women but if a man enters the room she'll crawl to me as fast as her little legs and arms go and grab on tight to my neck! She loves playing with other children, and funnily enough, is always tackling them. At a sewing class last month, a lady observed Eliana playing with another child and laughed and said "The dainty one is the rough one!" I thought that was a good portrayal of Eliana.
