An update on Eli's progress: She is now talking more and understands both English and Spanish. I speak to her in Spanish all the time and for different things she knows the names in both languages. Yesterday while riding in the car on the way to work Elizabeth said to me: mama dos. I turned around and looked at her and she had two fingers up and the rest down. She was so proud of it and of course I made a big deal out of it and we both celebrated the achievement. The struggle of the fingers up was over!
Last week I taught Eli what her Dad's and Mom's names were. So this week I asked her to tell me our names and she remembered both of them! I was amazed, we had only worked on the names once and that was about 5 days go. She has very good memory.
Elizabeth ate pretty well this week. She loves fish. She also likes avocado, soups, rice, fruits, chicken, pasta, etc, etc. She likes some crackers that I bought the other day. They have brown rice, quinoa, flax seeds and sesame seeds. Very healthy and crispy but very strong in flavor and pretty ugly for my taste and Greg's taste. This girl likes them very much and the other day I even gave her the option of choosing between two kinds of crackers being the other kind less healthy and more tasty and she chose the strong ones! I keep them in the car and Eli can easily eat 4 or 5 of them during our daily rides.
Eli likes to wear my high heel shoes and walk with them from our room to her room. And she does a pretty good job!
Well, I seem to forget many things that I would want to write about Eli. I'm going to have to keep a piece of paper with me as my memory aid. For now, these are the pics from the second part of our trip to the big apple.
