Hello Eleanore!

5-21-12

Look at how quickly you are learning!  Every time we get in front of a mirror I'm waving to you and helping you wave back.  I think it's finally starting to sink in because look what you did when Daddy starting saying hi to you!

A Day at the Park

Eleanore, you enjoyed your time with Nonna and Ga this past week.  You had an especially good time today during our walk at the park.  We took you around the rose garden and were serenaded by a man playing a dulcimer.

I can't decide if your favorite part of the day was your first time on the swing:

Or your first "swim" in your new pool!  You loved chewing on your pool toys, and a-kick-kick-kicking in the water.  I think you're going to love your time at the lake this summer!

Your new pool

Look at those pearly-whites!

A-kick-kick-kicking!

7 Months And Counting

I can't believe you've been around for seven months already.  You have changed our lives in an incredible way, Eleanore.  We can't remember what we did when you weren't around!
On your 7 month birthday you are:

• the proud owner of two bottom teeth
• sitting up on your own
• attempting to feed yourself with a spoon (not entirely successful yet)
• chewing on your own toes
• scooting around, but not quite crawling yet
• making that raspberry noise that you enjoy so much
• squealing with excitement
• BEAUTIFUL

 We love you so much!
