Skills

• Eliana can sit. She is still wobbling and needs to be propped a little bit. But she has always preferred sitting up to laying in your arms like a baby. Now she will only lay down in your arms if you are feeding her; and even then, maybe not. Sit me up! 
• Solids. They are AMAZING! Eliana loves to eat. (not surprising) She loves green beans, squash, and sweet potatoes. I can't figure out how much I should be feeding her, because she wants to eat the entire container, every time!
• Eliana laughed for the first time this month. She was watching her cousins jump up and down and she thought it was hysterical. She has also laughed at Misty and Bones barking. 
• Rolling still happens. In both directions. Any time she wants.
