The other night when dinner was over, Josh got up from the table. Eliana, who was still in her high chair, said (without any prompting) "Father, Don't leave me!" We all started laughing, so she started saying it over and over. Josh came back and took Eliana out of her chair and the two spent the evening together.
Eliana is becoming a Daddy's girl. She asks for something and he delivers. Last night, for example, Josh was putting her to bed. She didn't want to go to bed, she wanted to stay up with everyone else. So she started to cry. Josh tried to soothe her by reading books and playing puppet theater with her stuffed animals. That wasn't enough. Eliana didn't want to be left out. Josh finally asked her if she wanted him to stay. She said yes, stopped crying immediately, and Josh spent the next hour in her room.
I'm working on teaching Eliana to say "Father, would you please buy my mother some new clothes."

Love it. Her shorts are cute too. Apparently, one daughter with brothers has a strange power over their daddy (it is the same way with my sister's husband and their daughter).
Hahaha! Good luck with that last phrase you are teaching her!!
She is really adorable, Rachel!!
It is awesome that you are recording these things on here. I wish that I would have done more of that when my kids were small. Now they ask me for anecdotes from when they were kids and my mind is blank. I am going to have to call you to see what you can remember!! ;p)
Cute pics. I guess she's got her Daddy wrapped around her little finger...:). I think it's great that Josh has a little girl to love and enjoy. Good think you went for kid #4! I'm proud of Eliana for charming him early on. Maybe you should teach her even better phrases like...."Mommy needs diamonds. Mommy needs a really BIG house. Mommy needs a trip to HAWAII!!!" j/k
So cute!!!
hahaha rachel you crack me UP!
