2009 in Review: Elliana

It's Ellie-Bug's turn! Of the four of us, she has clearly gone through the biggest changes in 2009, having started out as a fetus and ended up a waving, playing, rolling, sitting, teething (still!), laughing little goofball of a baby. Literally everything was a first for her this year!


The day before she was born:



It's a girl!


First solids:

First trip to Disneyland:

First trip to the pumpkin patch:

First Halloween:

First bath in the big tub:

Waving "hi":

First Christmas (who needs toys when you've got bows?!):

In 2010, I predict that Ellie will:

1) become the most mischievous toddler in recent history (it already seems like she has at least 6 arms and legs; Bear put tights on her on Christmas Eve and declared that next time, he's sedating her first).

2) crawl on all fours by the end of February, and have a definite first word by March (Keira's was "da" for "duck" and I'm predicting Ellie's will be "ba" for "ball").

3) finally sleep through the night consistently by the end of April (pleaseohpleaseohplease!!!).

Happy New Year to our adorable, happy, snuggly, precious Elliana!
