January's Activities

I just realized I haven't blogged about Miss E since her 6 month post....yikes! This past month Eloise has been working very diligently about getting herself around. She has mastered sitting up by herself, going from her belly to sitting and back to her belly, scooting around, rocking on her hands and knees and first attempts at pulling herself up onto her knees (the high chair is her favorite climbing assistant, followed by the crib). We've hit a bit of a challenge in the sleep department but I'm confident we have turned a corner...for now.

One highlight from the past few weeks is that in addition to going to the YMCA for swimming lessons, Eloise and I also go each morning. She spends about an hour at the Y child watch (which is a free perk for members!) and I work out or attend one of their drop-in classes. Eloise really enjoys playing there and the staff love having her come since she is such a good baby!

We've also been able to enjoy some quieter weekends at home. With Matt finally done coaching debate it has been great spending more time together as a family of three.

Here are some pictures from the past few weeks.
