Tubes

The surgery is over and everything looks good. Elliana did a great job. She was pretty sleepy and clingy afterwards, but now that we are home she is better. She wants to play, but does not realize she can not walk in a straight line yet...so there is a lot of falling going on right now. The doctor said that her infection is all better (after one day of meds) and that there was not as much fluid as it looked like there would be.
By the way, her weight is 21.5 pounds and she is 30 inches long! Hopefully we are now all done with ear infections!

Almost 14 Months

Elliana will be 14 months on Grandma Kathy's birthday, Monday. I do not know how much Elliana weights or how tall she is right now. She gets tubes put in her ears on Thursday, the 25. So she will get a physical the day before and I will find all that out then. I will try to update the same day as her surgery so you all can be in the know.

Elliana's favorite is cuddling with anything soft. She must sleep with several stuffed animals and hug and kiss them each about seven times before she will leave them in her bed.

Elliana least favorite foods are still cottage cheese, any non-melted cheese, cold milk, and now she has added ham to the list. Other than those, she is not a picky eater. She has slowed down some this week and is eating a normal amount for a two year old.

Her favorite songs are any songs that you clap in and has hand motions. She loves music and I think she is singing a lot. She is talking a lot lately too. I have no idea what she is saying, but I think she might be yelling at me sometimes too.

Elliana's brother is growing quite a bit these days. I have gain more weight than I would like and I am hoping it is going to him and not to me. He is a big mover. I do not know how long or how much he weights either. I am 23 weeks now. 4 months to go.
