| Last fall and winter I had a maternity wardrobe and never got to wear my boots. As I was complaining to Craig that my boots were no where to be found, I walked back into the bedroom to see this sight! E wasn't sure what to think with those boots on! |
 |
| Good news! E had a great time at nursery during church this week! |
 |
| We all got up early Saturday morning as Craig participated in the Monumental 1/2 marathon! |
 |
| It was a chilly morning, perfect running weather. |
 |
| Start line |
 |
| Close to mile 3, running around monument circle |
 |
| Our friends Amanda and Ben also came to cheer Craig on! |
 |
| Yay! Craig did great! His only goal was to finish, but he kept a great consistent pace. |
 |
| Eleanor helped fold laundry this morning and wore daddy's race hat! |
 |
| Friday afternoons have been a lot of fun at our Music Together class! Eleanor has a blast with three other babies, their mommies, and the teacher. |
 |
| Eleanor really likes the noise making part! We got out the big drums this past Friday. E's favorite part was banging the bells onto the drum. |
 |
| Our neighbor's cat acts like he owns the neighborhood. He often visits our house and hunts around for food to play with. He also provides entertainment! |
 |
| Eleanor loved it! The cat also loves it and left plenty of fur all over the deck and window. |
 |
| Yesterday was a big day for Eleanor. We walked on stage at church and took vows to raise Eleanor in the church and to help her develop a relationship with Christ. After the dedication and service there was a reception and pictures. (Hopefully their pictures turned out better than the two I took!) |
 |
| Some days the only way that I get a shower is if Eleanor hangs out in the basket with toys! |
 |
| As she is working on her leaning and reaching, she has been upgraded to the larger basket. |
 |
| Eleanor also helps with laundry! |
 |
| She taste tests it to make sure it |
 |
| E had her 6 mo check-up yesterday, including more immunizations and a flu shot. She got a new book from the doctor and then a shopping spree at Barnes and Noble. Her pediatrician recommended a "face book" for Eleanor. Craig and I were laughing until we slowly realized that he meant: a book with babies faces. So we found "face book" book, plus several others that she is enjoying. We probably need to start going to the library! Eleanor is 27 1/4 inches long (90-95%), 19 lb 8 oz (95-97%), and 45 cm head circumference (95-97%). She loves: *blowing raspberries *being in the standing position *banging her toys to make loud noises *chewing on everything (one tooth has poked through the gum) *daddy's funny sounds *being squeezed by daddy *looking at herself in the mirror |

| An extra nap today after an eventful day yesterday. |
