Just rambling

Eliza has been "jumping" for a few months but recently she figured out how to actually get off the ground. Very cute and she's so proud of herself. Yesterday she and I had a Girls' Day and went to a place called Hoppin' Hippo. She pointed to a yellow slide and said "welwo." This morning she touched my necklace and said "heart", but it sounded like she was from Boston. She sings a lot and seems to have made up 2 songs that she sings consistently. One of them is called "let's go let's go." :) The other night we made the mistake of giving her some of our icecream too close to bedtime. She was in a fabulous hyper mood and ran around talking mostly jibberish non-stop for about 2 hours. We go swimming every couple of days and occasionally she accidentally goes under "wah wah" for a second. She doesn't cry, just looks surprised. She's becoming quite the dare devil and will sometimes jump off the side of the pool into the water.

Summertime and the living is easy...





Just a few shots of how we're spending our summer...

Sentences

Eliza's vocabulary is really taking off. This weekend she started saying "up please". At one point in the car she was whining and fiddling with her shoe. I told her to use her words and she immediately said "Shoe! Shoe! There's a rock!" And sure enough, there was a rock in her shoe. Of course, after I removed the rock, she proceeded to pretend there was a rock in her shoe about 10 times. She's really starting to get her points across!

Summer, swimming and Sea World


On Memorial Day we took Eliza to Sea World. S gets a big kick out of this because my family always went to Sea World when I was a kid and I still get excited about it. Eliza enjoyed swimming in the Lazy River with us and playing in the toddler area. She mostly sat dazed during the shows, but she occasionally held up the disposable water proof camera and took a picture. Since she liked swimming so much, we took her to Deep Eddy last weekend. She's quite the little dare devil and did not want to stay in the baby pool. In other news, S took her for her well check this morning and she's 70th percentile for height! (32.5 inches) She's still 70th percentile for weight and head circumference too, but being taller than average is new for her.

Eliza has started saying "I love you" recently. The other night she fell asleep with her arms around my neck. I thought she was already out and I said "I love you" to her quietly. A few seconds later she said "I lala you" back. It was the best.
