Hello Again

So life has been insane lately. I am going through a divorce which has taken a lot of my time and obviously not put me in the mood to write. Plus school is keeping me busy. Just trying to focus on Elena right now. Elena is two and a half now and amazes me every day. I still find it hard to believe that's it's been that long already. She is growing so fast and doing so many wonderful things.

Her biggest accomplishment has got to be to be that she started walking. It happened right around Halloween. I was so excited. All the therapists and parents were right, she just decided to start walking, just like that. I couldn't believe my eyes! I have some video on my phone that I will post if I ever figure out how to get it off the phone. She now loves going on walks and going up and down stairs. She goes through little phases of wanting to hold my hand while walking and not wanting to hold my hand. Elena has also started standing by herself without support. It's so cool to see. She's also going through phases, though, of not wanting to. I guess that's just how kids are.

She's started talking a lot more and I wonder now if she even needs a speech therapist anymore. She's FINALLY pronouncing her P's, B's and sometimes her M's. It's so cute to little to her talk. You can understand most of what she says and she says it with that cute baby voice that makes you just laugh. Can you tell I like how she talks? lol. She sounds more and more grown up every day.
