Adopting Elizabeth or better yet, Adopting Mommy!
I am adding to this post, not removing the original content. And I'd like to say that it has been a beautiful journey to be Elizabeth's Mom and to be part of her life. I hope Eli, that one day you can go over this blog that I've created for you and that you will cherish our lives together. I'd like to title this blog" Adopting Mommy" instead. You've taken me, accepted me and made me a better person.
Original Post from 2008 when I created this blog: Some of the pics were taken at the foster home where she has lived since she was born. We have received these photos on a monthly basis together with her medical reports.
Adiciono a este parrafo, sin quitar el contenido original escrito en el 2008 cuando inicie este blog. Ha sido una experiencia fundamental en mi vida el ser madre y especialmente, madre de Eli. Y espero que un dia no muy lejano, puedas revisar cada comentario escrito, cada detalle de este blog y te llenes de alegria recordando cada viaje, anecdota, situacion, dia, evento, vividos juntas. Deseo llamar este blog " Adoptando a Mami" porque me has acogido, aceptado y moldeado para ser la persona que hoy soy.
Parrafo original:
Esta es nuestra Eli. Algunas de las
fotos han sido tomadas en la casa de familia donde ha vivido desde que nacio y
que recibimos junto con un reporte mensual medico.

Foot and Hand prints / Huellas de pies y manos
Finalmente sacamos el tiempo para tomarle a Eli las huellas de pies y manos y ponerlas en su album the recuerdos. De todos los lindos regalos y obsequios que Elizabeth recibio a su llegada a casa, ninguno incluyo un libro de memorias o recuerdos. Asi que a finales de Diciembre le compre uno, el cual ya estamos llenando con todos sus daticos y fechas especiales.






If we had waited a little longer, her feet and hands wouldn't have fit the page.




Washing shoes / Lavando zapatos
Eli enjoyed helping me with this and took her job very seriously until the very last pair of shoes were ready to dry.
Eli y yo nos pusimos a la tarea de lavar todos los zapatos que ya no le quedan buenos a ella, antes de darselos a alguien que los pueda usar. A Eli le gusta mucho ayudar en los quehaceres de la casa, asi que estuvo muy juiciosa lavando sus zapatos.

The Brooklyn Children's Museum
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.
