For the first few years of her life my mom lived in Germany while my grandpa was stationed there in the Army. Her nanny was a lady named Frau Jaeger. Frau Jaeger made (crocheted or knitted—I never know the difference) four or five darling outfits for my mom. This is one of them.

6 months!
Can you believe a half of a year has past since this sweet little lady joined our family?!
At 6 months, Elna:
-is “talking” more than ever. Every day she seems to come up with a new sound—so much fun!
-loves interacting with almost anyone. She tries to get people’s attention and once she does she starts “talking” to them.
-is sitting up all by herself.
-is eating some solids kind of. She doesn’t ingest that much, but she sure likes to chomp and suck on pears, cucumbers, oranges, and sweet potato.
-has 2 full bottom teeth!
-does not like being on her hands and knees to do rocka rocka (however, 3 days into her 7 month she is almost crawling. It happens so fast!)
-is not the world’s best sleeper. (last night she woke up every 2-3 hours)
-has night terrors every night between 10-12 p.m. It’s so sad. (any ideas on what to do about these?)
-loves sitting in her bumbo on the counter while I cook or do dishes. She’s happiest with a few plastic lids or measuring spoons.
-has the most charming personality and smile. She has even started smiling for the camera—a toothy, wide smile with cute squinty eyes.
Elna is 19.12 lbs. (97%), 27 1/4” tall (93%) with a head circumference of 43 1/2 cm (79%)
We are in love!

Thanksgiving 2011.
Playing with her Auntie Annie—this was their first time meeting each other.
Pretty girl!
Ready to go to church to hear Annie’s homecoming talk
Elna & Grandpa Clark
On one of the days we were home my friend, Rachel Terry, flew into SF to visit her aunt. We spent several hours together at Chipotle so Brian and Elna could meet her. Rachel is one of my favorite people!
Elna rarely snuggles or falls asleep on my shoulder—she must have been exhausted!
I love how her lip curls down when she’s sleeping. She’s as sweet as they come!
On Thanksgiving we went to a fancy restaurant for a yummy buffet meal with my Grandpa Clark and other extended Clark family members that I didn’t know.
Brian, Elna, Lucy, Grandpa Clark, Annie, Samuel
