Bye Bye Binkly
Elena,
Tonight we cut your binkies. Your New Years resolution, whether you like it or not, is to give up using a binky when you sleep. You immediately took the bink out of your mouth and started saying “Uh oh”, over an over because obviously the binky was broken and Daddy or Mommy needed to fix it. Well, we didn’t and we put you to bed and you screamed…a lot, but you...

Christmas Morning
Eat Your Grapes!
Elena,
This morning Mom gave you a grape while she was getting breakfast ready and you insisted that Olive needed to eat it. After Olive ran away you decided Gordie needed to eat the grape, Gordie also disagreed and ran off. I know you just want them to have a balanced diet but I think your delivery of running up shaking your fist and yelling at the pets might be scaring them a bit.
Love,
...

A Potty Story
Elena,
I know, I know talking about you on the potty is embarrassing but I have a feeling this is one of those stories we will be telling for many years.
So the day we where moving into our new house Mom got a call from daycare. They had good news and bad news. The good news was that you had pooped on the potty, quite a feat for a 17 month old. The bad news was that you got so excited you...

Lots of Changes
Hey Kiddo,
Yea, I call you Kiddo now. There have been a lot of changes in your life lately; moving to the basement of a new house, going to a new daycare, and all the new doggies to play with. It has been a lot of changes for Mommy and Daddy too. So that is the excuse I am using for not updating this thing very much lately, things have just been a little crazy. All these new things are good...

1st Birthday Party!!
Elena,
As I type this we are actually in Germany visiting Uncle Brandon and Aunt Erika, so obviously I am a little behind on updating you blog. Your first birthday was a quite the event. For starters you where sick but that didn’t stop you from chasing your balloons and fighting with Alister over your new car! You also got a watertable thing which of course was some assembly required....

Family Vacation
Elena,
This last week has been very eventful for you. You took your first plane trip to Emerald Isle, North Carolina. You saw and played in the ocean for the first time, which you enjoyed very much! You also got to meet a number of relative you have never met before. We spent four days in a beach house with a whole bunch of new people, in a new place, eating new foods and I am extremely...
