Happy Halloween!

Yes, Elani (Ladybug) and Kyla (Monkey) had a great Halloween together in downtown Felton. We passed out treats at the clinic and let the girls play! For more photos of Halloween and more, click here: http://picasaweb.google.com/MamaJenWag/HalloweenMore#

Here's a cute video of the girls playing in the clinic's lobby (please pardon my loud, somewhat annoying baby voice....):

We hope you had a great Halloween!!

Elani is 11 Months Old!!!

This picture was taken on 10/13/08, her 11-month "birthday." These are getting harder to take as she will NOT stay still for long!
Elani is now standing for longer periods, climbing into and onto everything, climbing up and down things, babbling sentences that sort-of make sense (to us, anyway), walking with her walking toy, and feeding herself with a spoon! We're planning her first birthday party now and hope many of you can join us! For more photos of the past month, click here: http://picasaweb.google.com/MamaJenWag/OctoberDownloads#

Here's a cute video of our trip to the pumpkin patch on Sunday, October 19th:

Here's a funny video of Elani eating, raspberrying, babbling, and pooping: the full repetoire!

Elani Can Walk (with assistance)!!!

Here's Elani pushing a wooden mower-like toy (from Mum & Pop) across the room. She does this effortlessly (until it bumps into a stationary object) and often! She's also standing for longer periods (5+ seconds) without holding on to anything. Those first little steps seem dangerously close!

Elani Climbs a Ladder!!

Monkey-girl can't walk yet, but she sure can climb; check it out! (This was taken a day before she turned 10 months...)

Elani is 10 1/2+ Months Old!

It's hard to believe that she'll be 11 months old in only 11 days, but it's true! (I'll try to post sooner next time--promise!) Elani is an absolute joy: she's not yet walking, but climbing like crazy, barking and hooting like a monkey, giving hi-5s, clapping her hands, saying "Yeahhhh!!!" whenever she or someone else does something great, giving juicy kisses, cuddling closely, snuggling with her favorite stuffed animals, and being a super cute, happy, fun baby girl. She even said "Hi, Daddy" last night during the debates (I think she wanted to distract us....).

I have some great videos, too, but they failed to upload into the album. I'll see what I can do....

Elani is 9 Months Old!!!

I know it's been WAY TOO LONG since my last post, but suffice it to say that I'm posting from a new laptop (may my old one rest in peace). Elani is now eating LOTS of solid foods, crawling EVERYWHERE, pulling herself up onto EVERYTHING, talking a lot (including working on the words "dog," "yes," and "hi," and practicing barking), waving at people when they say "hi" or "bye," climbing the stairs (she went straight up 21 without even blinking...), teething (she has two 1/2 in on the bottom), and being a genuinely happy, joyful, wonderful baby girl. She's getting bigger every day and keeps amazing us with her climbing skills and love of water (we call her our little mountain goat-monkey-fish girl).

Enjoy!!

Elani is 8 Months Old!!!

Yes, Elani is now 8 months old and is crawling, pulling herself to standing, and even climbed up one stair two days ago! Her bottom front right tooth is also coming in. Aside from moving in (still), we're quickly baby-proofing the house and trying to stay one step ahead of her. I'm also filtering through and editing the 840 photos from March-June and will have more links up soon-ish. Take care!
