Sleep
Andy is inching his way to whatever his little eyes see. He really likes whatever Elliana has most. He can get up on his knees and rock, but not quite crawl yet. He gives great hugs and smiles still. He sleeping is not really regular...he will go 10 hours some nights and only 6/7 hours on others.
Elliana on the other hand is regular in NOT sleeping. I say that, but last night she did not wake up once. (She has been waking up and coming out of her room about 4 to 6 times at night for the last 3 weeks.) She is learning more and more. She loves to take care of her baby dolls and change anyones diaper. Elliana request to watch BOZ first thing in the morning, and at 5:00am Chris will gladly help her out.
She is also asserting her independance...Yeterday at the store she decided it was time to go play and away she went. She did not bother to ask or let me know in any way. I am sure I looked like a crazy mother, carrying a fat Andy, running up and down the aisles when a working asked if I was looking for a little girl. Elliana had made a b-line for the car carts in the front of the store and was happily playing. I am not sure that she will not do it again, but at dinner she did tell Dad that she was not a good listener and she did not obey about cars.
