How's Elana?

Well I'm glad you asked -- Currently she's sleeping -- it's almost 10:30pm so she'd want to be right -- she goes to bed at 7pm and we get her up at 7am -- I think she actually wakes up around 5am but if she doesn she doesn't cry out for us or anything just plays quietly in her cot.

A friend who hasn't seen us in a while asked me how she was tonight and I made a list

I'm guessing that you love her lotsly... and I think I might just be spot on the money there. Which is just as well considering your relationship to her and all...

It must be fun to be a Mummy!

She sounds an awful lot like Krystal.
I don't think the slippery floorboards are the problem, though, Krystal operates mostly on carpet and has yet to manage forward crawling motion either.
We put her to bed at 9:00 and hope that she'll stay asleep until 6:00. She does wake up earlier, sometimes we awaken to the sound of her cooing and burbling. (And sometimes at 3:00 am to the sound of sobbing or shrieking, but hopefully that'll stop soon.... :-\ )

she's fascinated by Nick, the dining chairs and fluff and leaves


oh, trina. this is so sweet. i do love how you describe things

she has her own computer keyboard to bang on because she loves computers


when can we expect another blog from elana ?

and its the funniest thing watching her try to crawl with her head bulldozing the floor - it's got to hurt but she doesn't say anything.


she sounds so determined !. go, elana.


this is a really nice idea, trina. i enjoyed it.

I don't have children (... and for the moment, i'd like to keep it that way!), hell, I don't even have a Puppy (... though I want a Beagle!), but when I do... I want to be as attached to "it" (them?) as much as you are with Elana!

Just not yet...

Thanks Wayne

Hellion - Yeah I think she's alot like most kids her age - I get this newsletter from baby.com every week telling me her progress - sometimes she's spot on, sometimes she's a couple weeks ahead and sometimes she's a week or two behind.
Well I know she finds our floor slippery and hard to grip with feet on her pants/jumpsuits - it's winter and the house is cold but I try and give her some time without feet/socks to try and grip -- she's such a monkey - she uses the slippery floor to her advantage on her bottom. Yesterday I found her almost at the hallway - she'd gone looking for her dad.

Teegs - it's very annoying when you want to talk to a person that isn't online who suddenly pops up with a comment on your blog thus indicating they are in fact online!!!

Mig - Thanks Mig -- She's not much interested in the laptop - prefering the keyboard - and since we gave her her own keyboard that's not plugged in to bang on while she's sitting on Nick's lap -- I just lost that thought..... completely --- Oh I got Elana to write a little message - I'll post it now

Cosmos - I find it amusing that you liken children to dogs - Snoopy was a beagle so your dog would be in good company, I myself am not a big fan of pets and Elana's like a monkey somedays and a cat others -- Thankyou (in a round about way) I hope you ARE "attached" and more importantly that you just love and care for any child that happens to come your way -- and don't forget his/her mother.
