13 months

Eliana turned 13 months today.

What has happened in the last month.

Nothing but contractions and getting a baby here.

Sorry Eliana.

I am so glad that my mom is here. 

She has spent a lot of time with Eliana

Playing, Singing, Reading

Things that she loves.

She's been teething.

Her molars are all trying to come at the same time.

Causing her not to be herself.

She does say "Tankoo" (Thank you) and "echu" (Bless you)

At ten months her first word besides "mama" and "dad" was water.

The only thing about is that she confuses agua and water so she just says

"Guagua"

So she will let us know when she is thirsty. 

She loves for someone to sing her 

Ring around the Rosie

she says "Ashes Ashes" "Down"

10 Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed

She will hit her head and say "Buhp"

Itsy Bitsy Spider

she will do the hand motion of the spider climbing

when she wants that one sang

Spanish songs

Ay ya ya yay Canta y No llores

She will sing Ay ya ya yay around the apartment

and in tune.

Coocooroocoocoo

 She hums the tune and does a pretty good job

I feel so bad that I missed a lot of playing with her this month.

It was just so hard to get back up from the floor.

I was just ready to get the baby here.

She did get a present mid month.

Her baby brother was born and she just loves him.

For the past 3 months I would ask her 

"Hey where's bubba?"

She would come straight at my belly hug and kiss it.

Then she began to pat his bum and say

"BuhBah"

The first time that I noticed she knew he was there...

Some friends came over in July and she was sitting in my lap facing me.

She just stared at them and patted my belly.

Then she leaned in to kiss him.

I was surprised.

I never told her brother was in there.

After that I just asked her where bubba was and she just knew.

It amazed me even more that when they were cleaning him she kept yelling

"BUHBAH"

Since then she has not looked at my belly.

She is just little miss smarty pants.

I am definitely ready to be able to pick her up and play with her.

That is something that I already miss.
