I'm learning lots of fun tricks these days. I've started playing "So Big," especially when I'm getting my diaper changed. Mommy likes that because it keeps my hands out of my dirty diaper and it's much better than the alligator roll. That, like a lot of my new tricks, are ones that Mommy doesn't like. Like jumping in my crib when I'm supposed to be going to sleep. Life is just too much fun for sleep. Daddy is best at snuggling me and getting me to go down. As William would say, "I like his feel." I do think it's fun to pretend to go to sleep, though. I lay down my head on a pillow or blanket and everyone says, "Night, night, Eliana." Then I smile and "wake up!" My other funny trick is to not eat my baby food. I decided the other day while we were in the baby food aisle at the store and I was watching Mommy pick out a bunch of new kinds for me to try. Ever since then, I refuse to eat off the spoon. Grandma Lanz gave Mommy a good idea of trying to sneak in bites while I'm chasing a cheerio around my tray or when I drop the pea that I was going to put in my mouth. Then I'm willing to take a few bites off the spoon. But even if it takes all day, I would much rather feed myself. Just like I took my pants off by myself the other day. I thought that was a great trick! Check out the latest pictures for more of my silliness. I'm always smiling and laughing about some crazy new adventure.
