Another month gone so fast

Even though I was miserably sick for most of January and laying in bed hoping that it would end, I didn't realize that it would end so soon. Lame, I know. Now I'm hoping that February or my morning sickness ends just as fast, hopefully my morning sickness will end sooner. Like hopefully by February 14th when I'm scheduled to go the Florida.

Anyways, today is February 1st and that means that Eleanor is 19 whole months old. When people ask me how old she is, I want to say 2 because she just seems so much older but she's just a year and a half, well a year and 7 months and that just seems so young to me. I think I wrote in December how worried I was that she wasn't talking as fast as her "age" group and although I don't really care about how fast she progresses, I am very aware of her progress. But in the last couple of months, she has learned so much and even taught herself a thing or two which I'm still kinda floored by. For instance, she blows kisses goodbye. I never taught her that. I've never seen anyone really blow her kisses, yet in the past couple of weeks, whenever she leaves, she'll blow a kiss goodbye. And can I say it's the most cutest thing in the world.

She also pretty much understands everything we say to her and everything I say to her in Korean. When she wants to go to bed, I'll get in bed, tell her to close the door, help her turn off the light, and tell her to lay down next to me and she doesn't even hesitate for a second. Pretty much when it comes to her wanting to nurse, she seems to understand me perfectly. Little stinker!!

She's also been really awesome at sleeping through the night, she'll have some nights where she wakes up a couple of times and if I happened to have fallen asleep in her room next to her, she'll want to nurse but if I'm not, she'll just whine a little and go right back to sleep. Then she wakes up around 4-5am and runs to the door and tries to open it, crying for a few minutes and if she doesn't hear us coming, she'll go back to sleep. HOWEVER, the little smarty pants learned to open the door this week by herself so she just gets up, no crying, opens the door, comes to our door, opens that up, and hops on top of me and wants to nurse. I thought it was cute for like a day and then went out and bought door knob covers today. I wonder what she'll do tonight when she can't open the door. I'm a little sad for her because I do get really proud of her for figuring things out like opening the door and turning off the television and such.

We had a shitload of things to get together today because A-man's parents are leaving first thing in the morning to Florida by car and they're going to take pretty much all our stuff with them. So we had to go buy a swim suit, diapers, and sandals for baby and then come home, do some laundry, pack (I just realized I forgot something, damn) and send it off with A-man tonight. It wouldn't have taken so long but I really can't move that fast so it took all day.

Since we were so busy today, I didn't get to take a bunch of pictures all day long like I try to do every month on the first so here's some I took tonight before I sent off the camera with his parents. I really didn't want to because what they did to me on Elle's b-day but I had to. A-man would have flipped if I didn't, but I really wanted to "forget" something really important.
