Weee!!!

Today I was laying down on the floor on my side. Elliot thought it would be good idea to try and use my growing stomach/her little brother as a slide! Oh, the awkwardness of pregnancy..haha.

Hm…

Elliot has learned how to say “hmm..” while tapping her chin with her finger, and then she’ll follow it up with “maybe…”. I think I might do this when I’m thinking out loud! 🙂

New Words

Elliot has learned several new words this week. They are: “rain” “my turn” and “happy”. She’s the cutest! We have cut down on tv to almost none at all because she was watching too much and it’s crazy how fast you can see her mind learning even more than before!

Also, one of the hardest things about being a parent is keeping a straight face when trying to discipline. The other day Elliot climbed on to the coffee table and was trying to stand up. I told her to get down and she looked at me straight in the eyes and said “no”. So, I gave her a spanking and was scolding her and then her response she kept saying to getting in trouble was “aww, man!” Lol, that was so hard not to laugh. Silly kid.

Photo Shoot Fail

Haha, this is from the other day:  why you don’t try to do a toddler photo shoot by yourself. Especially with your own kid, too many other cool things to do!

   

 

This Last Week

There have been several things Elliot did that were funny and now I can’t remember them all! I need to update this more frequently!

Let’s see.. last Wednesday we went walking around downtown Forney originally to take pictures but that went as I expected and we ended up just walking around looking at stuff and exploring. Along the way we found a huge grasshopper. Elliot decided to just run up and pick it up but was a little unprepared for it to start wiggling and moving in her hand so she threw it. It was pretty funny and then she spent the next couple minutes “jumping” like the grasshopper.

We also went to a MOPS play date which was fun. Had a little drama with one moms wiping out trying to save a tub of bubbles from falling and then one of the kids somehow ran over another kid on one of those little jeeps. Luckily everyone was fine! Elliot and some other girls had fun pretending to fall down on the trampoline and saying “woahhh” mid-fall.

Oh yeah, Elliot has kind of learned to pick her nose. She has at least learned her finger can go up there, so I’ll catch her with her finger just sticking in her nose but not really moving it! Haha.

My parents got one of those little tykes cars from their neighbor. Elliot loves to play with it and it is crazy how much kids really do observe and retain. She got my car keys and “unlocked” the door, got in the car, turned the keys to the side of the steering wheel to “start” the car, then was turning the steering wheel but crossing her arms over the other like how we do when we drive! She’s so smart!

She has learned a couple letters; “O” and “P” and sometimes she’ll get “B”. She likes to try and read anything that has words on it.

She is also starting to learn to crawl out of her crib. We need to change her to her new bed asap before she really figures it out. And, with my belly getting bigger and back hurting, it is getting harder to lift her and put her in her crib. We also need to make this transition within the next two months before we start doing stuff for the holidays in November and December. But before that, we have to fix the front room by re-painting, re-carpeting, and adding new baseboards! Ahh! This new baby will be here way too soon! We have the money to do it, except now we are getting bills from the lab for pregnancy stuff so that is annoying..going to have to call the Dr. and get that figured out!
