Cousin time!

Hannah and Eleanor!

Both sticking their tongues out!

Hannah was showing Eleanor how to do this tummy time business!

Hannah showing Eleanor that you don't have to scream while laying on your tummy!

Aunt Sarah and Nana having conversations with Eleanor!

She fell asleep holding her ear, let go of it, and then found it again.

Big eyes

Eleanor has had a little more success lately with tummy time by using the boppy and lots of distractions around her.

She loves holding onto her little hippo blanket

Lately she likes to suck in her lower lip and let it out with a pop!  She makes a pretty funny face!

I LOVE snuggle time!

2 months

I tried to make Father's Day just as special for Craig as he made Mother's Day for me.  It started with breakfast in bed!  He probably would have been happy just to get coffee in bed!

I heart DAD!

And then we were off!  Eleanor and I got to join Craig on his work trip to Alabama!  It probably wasn't a great way to spend Father's Day on the road, but at least we all got to be together for the week!  

After bath time with a mohawk!

E loves to eat her hands, both at the same time if possible!

E had her 2 mo check-up on Monday along with immunizations!  She weighs 15lb 1oz, which is off the percentile charts!;  is 24.25 inches long (90-95%);  and head circumference is 41 cm (90%).  She scored well in all the milestone areas except for tummy time!  As you can see in the next picture, it is not something she enjoys!

She just face-plants and yells about it!  This picture also shows that she is losing a ton of hair and it is still out of control!

Happy June

If you look VERY carefully, you will see that this bird only has one leg!  We call it "pirate bird."  It loves to perch at the corner of our deck to scout out worms.

This is probably one of my favorite moments of all time:  Grayson and Eleanor meeting each other!  Eleanor "talked" at Grayson and he was very sweet and gentle with her!

Somehow Grayson is 2 years old!  He is so big!

Eleanor has a new trick!  

We were playing on the floor, one of E's favorite things to do!

This morning, before bath time!
Usually mid-morning is E's most happy, smiley time of the day!  She is just full of joy and it makes my heart SO happy!
