We have been on vacation, but I have been keeping track of the funny things that Eliana says. 

I drove from Florida to North Carolina.  I had the three girls in my car (no, we did not acquire an extra daughter along the way, and lose Christian...the third girl is my niece), and Eliana was in the seat directly behind mine.  She reached her bare foot up at one point and poked and scrinched her toes on my arm.  I said,"Don't kick me!" with a smile.  She said,"I'm toes-ing you!"

Wendy gave the kids Oreos the other day after dinner, and Eliana was the last one to finish.  She was savoring her cookies like it was her job.  As she sat there licking the last of the icing off of one of the chocolate sides Wendy said,"She's milkin' it!"  Eliana added,"I do like to put it in my milk!"

Wendy's son (Christian's age) had a net in the ocean, trying to catch fish.  It was the kind that has weights around the bottom, you turn in a circle, and then raise and throw the net out in the water.  He had worked hard to get all that right, and had caught a couple of small fish, too.  At one point he had it bunched up in a funky way, and Wendy said,"What is he doing with that net?!"  Eliana, sitting near us playing in the sand told her,"He's fishing!"
