there she is!

"There she is!" ...is what she screams when she pops out from behind the curtain after 10 seconds or so. Her favorite game to play. 

Oh, let's not forget the "B" quartet (books, balls, bubbles and bananas) the four things that just completely encompass her thoughts.

Elleanora is so eager to learn these days. It's just amazing what words come out of her mouth at the end of each day or what motions her chubby, little body performs out of nowhere. Animals sounds, downward dog(?!) and dancing are her "things" right now. She really cracks us up.

And, yes, the day came when she uttered the word "No!" for the first time. Her will is getting stronger, and tantrums are on the rise, but we are committed to staying consistent with discipline, and she is responding quite well. I think she has a little more Christopher than Jenna in her. Thank. You. Lord.
