Eliana Baptism

Weeks 12-13, Eliana meets her cousins

 Hello. I just love playing with my hands, and eating them!! Eliana sat for a second by herself at 12 weeks, 3 days!! Mommy was so proud!

 Practicing lifting that head...

 Mommy, I'm tired. I need a break!!

 Well, hello....

 Big girl!

 Eliana got to see her Auntie Cristin again. She hadn't seen her since she was 3 weeks old!

 Nap time. Mommy has been trying to get me to nap in here more often instead of my usual nap time favorite, my SWING!! My head has been hanging over even worse now since I am getting bigger:) I have been getting better about napping here, but it is kinda tough still. It helps when Mommy sings to me, and strokes my head.

 Big yawn!!! I was so tired here, but couldn't stand missing the excitement of seeing my cousins, Lily and Lexi! They like to squeal a lot too, so I figured something fun was going on.

 Lexi was very sweet to me. She like to grab my foot, and smiled at me a lot. She also looked concerned when I cried, and tried to give me my paci. What a sweet cousin!

 Eliana seems to be enjoying her bouncy chair a little more. Dad and Mom have noticed that she hangs on to the animals for longer now, and seems to be studying them, instead of just randomly grabbing them.

 I discovered my foot! Eliana first grabbed her foot at 12 weeks, 5 days. This was one of her favorite things to do for the next several days!

 Hi Mommy and Daddy!! Eliana went with Mommy and Daddy to Mommy's 15 yr high school reunion for the afternoon. She slept the whole time!! I guess the secret for a good nap is a lot of noise!

 And I'm still tired...Well, I ate and played for a little while when we got home. I was just really tired today for some reason.

 I love getting kisses from my Daddy!

 All dressed up, heading to church. Isn't my Daddy handsome? I see where I get my good looks:)

 Hi Daddy! You are just so much fun to look at!! And I love my shirt from Uncle Dan!!

Mommy, I don't want to wear this hat...

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...
