My crazy life in Ecuador

Ely’s almost a year old! She’s such a crazy little kid. She can crawl but she prefers to scoot around the house on her rear, and she loves walking with anyone who will hold her hands. It’s really cute. The last picture is my artichoke that is a little bigger than the photo. I can’t wait to eat it…

I haven’t been much of a blogger recently, but I think I want to get back into it. Little Ely (now not-so-little Ely, she’s growing SO fast!) doesn’t give me much typing time, but we’ll see what we can do =D Right now she’s 9 and a half months old and a very active, curious girl. She doesn’t say any recognizable words but understands the meaning of quite a few. If I say “Papi” she gets super excited and looks around for David, it’s really cute. She’s obsessed with our cat and our bunny. I’ll have to put up pictures of them later. Oooh, baby’s calling so my blog time is over, bye!

Rosa’s babies are growing up, they’re so much fun. They now eat hard food, use the litter box, and sometimes wander outside when we’re supervising them. I’m glad we have the fence to keep them protected. This little baby is “boots”, our nephew Andres has already claimed him. The other kitten, Princess, still hasn’t been claimed but I think my neighbors want her. So, one more month with our little kittens here at home to keep me company. Then they go off to their homes, and in another month baby Ely arrives ^__^ So fun.

I found a friend in Tulcan, Ecuador. He was showing off his belly, so I thought I would, too. 30 weeks along now, whoo hoo!
