We had a great trip to California to see the Eisenberg side of the family. This picture shows all six grandchildren, plus 3 parents. Others not pictured are Daniel, Sarah, Louis, David, Oma (Helene) and Opa (Robert). Eve and Ella were giddy around their cousins, just like they were in Pennsylvania over Thanksgiving. Eve has been taking her pretend play to a new level of sophistication. She especially likes to be the parent figure. A funny example: she created a scenario where she was the mommy and Oma was the baby, and when Oma said something, she scolded Oma, "No, babies can't talk!" Eve clearly likes to be in charge most of the time, although she also enjoys playing the baby role at times (undoubtedly as a result of seeing the attention Ella often gets). Meanwhile, Ella is still on the cusp of walking--she has taken a couple shuffle steps, and she can stand for 30+ seconds. Ella has also started saying more distinct things, especially "Ma-ma-ma-ma," which is usually in the context of wanting Mommy and/or food, "Da-dee" (can reject the null hypothesis that this is uncorrelated with the presence of Daddy at p=0.08), and "ba-ba-ba" (cannot reject the null hypothesis that this is completely random).
