We Miss You Erin!

We miss you Erin! Thank you so much for making the long trip to Texas to see us! Well, Elodie has advanced leaps and bounds. You can ask her to do things or to go and get you objects and she does it. She knows how to hold the phone to talk. You can say "hello" and she puts the phone to her ear. She knows most of her body parts. When I ask her if she is hungry and would like to eat she runs to the highchair. When you ask her if she want to take a bath she runs to the bathtub. She repeats many of the words you say to her and gets pretty close to a good pronunciation for an 11 month old anyway. Her favorite word of the week is UhOh! She says it even when mama makes a loud noise or drops something UhOh! She knows people in pictures you show her. If you ask Elodie to get you the picture of Nana...she will bring you the picture of Nana! She picked up a scrub brush the other day and I asked her.."Elodie...are you carrying a brush?" she then started to brush her hair with it. I could fill an entire page of all the fun cute things she is doing now but I won't. I guess you can tell I am a bit proud to be Elodie's mom. Don't you just love her new back pack? She starts school (Mother's Day Out) in a few weeks and I thought she needed her first school bag. I had it made by a very talented mother and grandmother who sells her talent of sewing on ETSY.COM (my new favorite site). I will attach the link for those you are interested.
