so excited

yesterday my dad took eli for a while so i could get some "rest" (in " because how much rest can you really get with an eight month old:). but it does help a lot when eli is otherwise entertained. when they came back lyla could hardly contain herself. she kicked, she screamed, she flailed her hands in excitement. so happy to see crazy big brother. he's better entertainment than a sick mom, i'm sure.

later that evening eli took a shower and i gave lyla a bath in the sink. when eli was done he came running out toward the kitchen, feet pitter pattering on the wood. lyla could not yet see him, but she recognized the sound. so again, much flailing and screaming with anticipation of a "boo!" from eli.

she has changed so much these last few days. very interactive. very happy (no ear infection!!!). very vocal. i love it.
