The trip did make us realize that we could never go back to a queen-sized bed; I had Elena pressed up against my back all night. It was fun, but of course I forgot to take my camera to the actual wedding. It was beautiful, though, and we went to the lake before coming home. It was like taking a mini-vacation, and it was nice to get away to such a peaceful place.
I made a little fort for Elena Rose to put in her playroom. I saw it on pinterest, but realized when I had already cut a bunch of pieces for the top that the math in the tutorial wasn't working out right, so I started improvising and making adjustments as I went. It turned out pretty good. She calls it her "tent" or "house."
Elena refuses to eat vegetables, so I've resorted to using our juicer to make fruit and veggie juices, and using the juice to make popsicles. I wasn't sure if she would eat them, but she does ask for them and likes them a lot.
I also like the juice I've been able to make with it, and it helps me take in more veggies.
I've been feeling pretty good, but I am getting more tired. And this baby is moving around a lot inside. Elena actually felt him kick today, but she was pretty indifferent to it. I'm enjoying my last few months of having just one kid, and I do realize that Elena's pretty easy to take care of, even though of course there are moments of frustration. But I can take her to doctor appointments with me and she stays in her stroller, and Jorge and I had to go sign paperwork for 45 minutes the other day and she sat in our laps. Pretty good for a toddler. She's talking up a storm now, repeating a lot of the things I say. She likes to do things on her own, and if we're out and she doesn't want to hold my hand, she crosses her arms. She's becoming more strong-willed, but I like that she has a little spunk.
