Happenings 11-12 weeks, Uncle Dan's visit, Easter

 Kicking those legs pretty high!

 Eliana lifted her head even higher than last week, Mommy was so proud!

 She wasn't even fussing! She usually fusses at least a little when on her tummy...

 Hi...

 I'm ready for our run Mommy.

 Eliana and Mommy have been able to run together now. Daddy and Mommy decided to buy an adapter piece for the running stroller so that the car seat can fit into the running stroller. This allows Mom to use it when Ellie is still too little to fit into her stroller without the car seat supporting her.

 Back on the activity mat. Eliana has been grabbing her octopus more lately.

 Holding on to a rattle she seems to like.

 Lifting her head again!

 Guess what? Eliana rolled over!!! This picture shows her second time to roll over. She actually did it the other day (above pics in the yellow dress) but Mom didn't have the camera handy. Eliana first rolled over from tummy to back when she was 11 weeks, 5 days this past Wednesday. She rolled over twice the next day. Mommy was just so excited!!

 This was the second rollover of the two she did right in a row.

 Hello. Practicing sitting in my chair....

 Daddy took these pictures of me sleeping in mom's lap. Dad and mom thought this was super cute because this was my newborn way of sleeping. I loved to sleep on Mommy and Daddy's chest, and I used to climb down mommy's chest. Dad and Mom used to joke that I was trying to climb back inside her womb!

 Ellie has been enjoying grabbing her monkey and parrot in her bouncy chair more lately.

 Hello...

 Uncle Dan came to visit me. We didn't take as many pictures as we wanted, but I sure had fun with him!

 Uncle Dan held me while we watched TV, and Mom ate some popcorn Daddy made for everyone.

 Looking pretty sweet in one of my cousins (lily and lexi's) old outfit. In other news,  Eliana had her first laugh this past Saturday when Daddy made a really funny face. Mom and Dad were super excited, and also happy they both got to see her do it for the first time when they were together.

 All dressed up for Easter in the dress and bonnet that Grandma gave me. Grandma sure thought I looked cute!

 Hello. Happy Easter! I am on my way to church, but kind of tired.

 Here I am after church and dinner at my Nana and Papa's. I am wearing an outfit Daddy's secretary made me, and also wearing the adorable bunny booties, bunny ears, and bunny shorts my Great-Aunt Beth gave me. Mom, Dad, Grandma, and Uncle Dan sure thought I was cute!! We then got to skype with my Grandma and Grandpa LeBlanc, my Uncle Mike, and a bunch of other family I hadn't met yet. They thought I was pretty cute too!

 I also played on my mat for a little while when I got home, and Daddy and Grandma got to see me roll over again. Daddy was so proud of me!!

 After a long day, I had a lot to talk about. Here I am telling stories to Uncle Dan, Daddy, and Mommy. I probably talked for the longest I have yet! I had a lot on my mind:)

I got pretty tuckered out after I finished all my talking...

Eliana

 Hanging out in Papa's lap...Eliana's neck is getting stronger by the day, and she is holding her head more steadily now.

 Eliana using her infant positioner booster chair for the first time. Big girl did such a good job! She held her head up really well. Papa and Mom were so proud!

 Eliana is now clasping her hands more often, and is even crossing fingers over one another.

 Making that cute face again that Mom and Dad like so much. It is usually an excited face, but sometimes means "I am about to get grumpy."

 Superstar....

 Hello my jungle friends, how I have missed you!!

 Kicking her legs to communicate with her jungle friends.

 I sure love my Daddy. It was fun to show him how I can sit in my booster chair. He was proud of me too.

 Working hard during tummy time. I lifted my head the highest I have done yet, and also pushed my self up a little for the first time with my arms. All on my 11 week birthday!! My mommy was so proud of me.

 Hi Mommy. I am doing a really good job holding myself steady in here....

 Ellie has been grabbing objects more these days. In fact, just before this was taken, she had grabbed onto mommy's nose, and held it for quite a while with a tight grip. She also grabbed mommy's glasses. Eliana is getting to be such a strong girl!

 In addition to grabbing objects, Ellie really enjoys pulling on her clothes these days...

 Hi.

 Snooze time...Mommy wanted to see how much bigger I look in my swing now since there are a bunch of pictures of me in my swing when I was an itty bitty newborn. That was about the only place I would let Mom and Dad set me down for the first few weeks:)

 Daddy made fajitas, guacamole, pico de gallo, and mojitos. Yum!  I sat outside in my bouncy chair while Mom and Dad ate.

 Excuse me:) Eliana's expression right before going poo caught on camera!

 Mommy, what in the world is that noise Daddy is making?? Yikes!

 Still trying to figure it out...It is the vacuum cleaner!  Mommy was afraid of this when she was a baby too.

I think I will just pull my dress up. That should make me feel better:)
