Just For Fun

You were sporting your Valentine's Day outfit today, and you looked so cute I had to take pictures of you.  So these are just for fun!  Your smiles and laughter brighten our lives...there's a reason Eleanore means "ray of sun." We love you, our little sunshine!

Quite the Pair

Things you have spit up on:
  • The carpet
  • Lots of blankets
  • Mommy's lap
  • Yourself
  • The bathroom sink (thank you)
  • The Moby wrap
  • The couch (all of them)
  • Daddy's face (hee hee)
  • Aunt Melinda's scrap book (sorry!)
  • Carter's store floor (thankfully no clothing was harmed)
Things Rockne has eaten:
  • Most of his toys
  • Five out of five of his beds
  • The furniture
  • The carpet
  • A roll of stamps (THAT was expensive)
  • Our rosebush (yes, the whole thing)
  • The grill cover
  • My pin cushion (thankfully all pins are accounted for)
  • Way too many Hershey Kisses (took him to the vet to throw up)
  • Ellie's socks (most have been salvaged)
  • Ellie's spit up (gross but helpful!)
You two definitely make for some good story-telling!

Flip or Fluke?

You did it!  Great job Eleanore!  After lots of the very unpopular tummy time, you've learned how to flip yourself over!  Well, I'm not sure it's completely on purpose yet, but you're learning!  Mommy and Daddy are so proud of you.  You're growing up so fast!

Chit Chat

Eleanore, you've obviously been watching and listening to Mommy and Daddy talking to one another, chatting on Skype and on the phone.  You're catching on pretty quickly!  Here's a clip of one of our chats together.  Unfortunately Mommy didn't realize that the mirror behind you was catching all of her facial expressions, but your story is too cute not to share.
