The Choir

When Elena was a couple of months old (and super-colicky), we realized that whenever Elias met someone he would introduce his sister like this "This is Baby 'Lena- she's a cryer." Except his version of "cryer" came out "choir". She later outgrew the colic and we found out about some food allergies she has, so she really is a much happier baby now and not a "choir" at all, but it is still funny to revisit that memory.

Elena is 10 months old now and changing SO fast! Last week she began crawling on her hands and knees (she was an army crawler for the past couple of months and we thought she would never get that belly up off the ground!) and she cut her fifth tooth. She has so much of her brother's personality coming out in the last month- she has his laugh and recently has adopted his shyness when boys talk to her. It has been incredible to see her little personality come to life and watch the physical changes happen so fast. I can't believe she is almost a year old! She is such a gift from God- I can't imagine life without her!
