The Eliana Express

I have really enjoyed...no, that's  not quite right.  I have had a lot of fun watching Eliana's expressions surface and develop over the last year.  She is 14 months and sometimes I can't believe what her face looks like, because she's still so little.  But there's so much there!  The latest expression she makes, and frequently, is one of my favorites.  I can't explain why, but I think it has something to do with her age in contrast to how old the expression makes her look.  She is now able to express with her face and not just her voice her frustration or exasperation with something (or someone).  She looks so insulted!

Can you see what I mean?   How old does she look?  I think it's hysterical, and seriously, I laugh out loud when I see this face.  She does things that are bound to frustrate her (like stick the pencil in the hole in the chair and try to bend it) and then looks at me with this,"Can you believe this is happening to me, what's up with that?" face.  Hilarious.  It doesn't even look like her.

I think it's really interesting that this is a new face, that she is figuring out how to communicate her feelings in this way, and so clearly!  Here are a couple more pictures of her that I was able to capture-thwarted!

Even though tiny she can get a point across, eh?

Avery makes that same scowl with the furrowed brow. It's just her nature and it cracks us up, as well.

Eliana is getting so big. I can't believe she is already over 1. Last February seems like yesterday.

Now, I'm swimming in the fog of a 4 month old who is already teething!!!
