We celebrated our second wedding anniversary on September 12th. We celebrated Jorge's birthday on the 20th. I passed the first part of my licensing exam, so we celebrated that, too. And Jorge was promoted to a supervisor position at work.
September was so busy that Jorge couldn't keep track of which dog needed shots for the dog license renewal. After getting to the vet with the baby and Charlie (and you can imagine how difficult it is to go out with a beagle and a one-year-old), he realized it was Ginger that needed the shots! Ginger is now fully vaccinated, but that took place on an entirely different day . . .
We decided to upgrade to a king-size bed (Cal King) so that we won't be falling off when Elena Rose decides to sleep sideways. We debated for awhile, and then when we realized that our queen mattress was sagging a bit and that we could feel some springs (plus we've been getting back-aches for the past year), we decided to go for it since we were going to have to buy a new mattress regardless. And we are LOVING our new bed! It's big, pretty, and the mattress is soooo comfortable. And even when Elena Rose sleeps sideways, we have room.
Elena Rose's hair is starting to curl in the back.
Elena loves to drink from a straw now. Such a big girl. She also loves to push buttons; she especially loves to turn the cable box on and off.
We were finally able to paint some shelves we've been wanting to put up in her room for a long time.
Putting stuff on the shelves left room on her dresser, so I put out some cute little bookends I got at a consignment sale a couple weeks ago. I love good bargains! And she has a lot of books.
I also got her a little Handy Manny talking toolbox at the consignment sale. She loves this toolbox. She dances to the music and for some reason she likes to carry it behind the couch and leave it there. Now she can work on the house just like Daddy!
And some other cute things Elena did this month: She went up to the different animals on the walls in her playroom, giving them all kisses; she mimics us whenever we cough; when you ask her where her belly-button, nose, mouth, eyes, hands, toes, and some other body parts are, she will point to them; she had her first bubble bath, and she was amused, but not thoroughly impressed.
And (nothing new here), she loves her daddy.
Especially when he's silly with her.
They're two little peas in a pod. And he calls her his little sweetpea.
