But we all sleep now. A lot. And that's a good thing, because it takes a lot of energy to keep with our Elena.
So, the specifics: she's now an active, fast walking soon to be 15 month old little girl. She loves people and dogs, and most foods (actually prefers what we're eating to "baby" food). She sleeps about 12 hours at night, like she has for a long time... and finally mastered the art of the midday nap a couple of months ago. Sometimes one long nap of 3 hours, sometimes two 60-90 minute naps.
No discernible words yet, but a tremendous amount of gibberish baby talk... things that sound like she thinks they make sense. She knows major body parts -- head, nose, ears, mouth, tongue, toes, hair, eyes. She knows everyone around her. Only a couple of bottles of whole milk, and only half ones at that, in a day.
And...most importantly... she's our favorite thing in the world.
