Elaina is 16 months old!!

Nov 6th - Elaina is 16 months old today. She is really doing lots of new things. She is signing very well these days. They teach signing at her school so it helps to reinforce what we are trying to teach her at home. She signs "all finished," "milk," "more," "eat," and "diaper." She also has started saying "byyyyyeeeee" and waving when people leave. She really drags out the word "bye" just to be sure that whoever is leaving hears her. Pretty funny. She also will blow kisses when you leave - usually without being prompted. It is very sweet.

Also, one of her favorite thing to do lately is growl like a tiger. She will point to a tiger in a book and growl. It's pretty cute. I'll have to record her doing it. Sometimes we wake up to the sound of her growling in her crib. Her second favorite thing to do is stand in chairs (as evidenced below).

This is pretty much her normal thing lately - standing in chairs... can't keep her out of them.
