Happy Birthday Benjamin & Madyson!!

We spent the past weekend in Pine Island visiting Grandpa Gary and Grandma Margie. The weather was beautiful so we walked around the neighborhood and stopped to swing at the park. Eloise thought it was very sunny and wished she had some sunglasses. On Saturday night we partied till we dropped with our favorite five year old and soon to be eight year old. Uncle Jer smoked pork loin in his smoker (delicious) and we got two birthday treats (s'more cupcakes and rainbow layer cake). Eloise wore her unicorn party pants for the occasion. We also got to visit with Granny who (as always) was very excited to see Eloise.

7 months.....SEVEN!

It sure is hard to believe that our little sweet-tart is seven months already. She has really been working hard this last month to keep us on our toes! (Walter, too).

Some highlights of Eloise at 7 months:

  • Crawling everywhere!
  • Pulling herself up to stand. She loves standing up to play her piano and using the highchair to climb
  • Talking, talking, talking
  • Playing with her friends at the YMCA childwatch. They always want to keep Eloise because she is so good!
  • Not being in her car seat....who wants to be strapped down when they can be out playing???
  • Chasing after Walter
  • Dislikes sleeping....naps...bedtime....middle of the night. Who needs sleep, right?!
  • Snowdays with Daddy....in the past two weeks he's had two!
  • Trying new foods....she is a great eater! She even had her first cookie thanks to Aunt Donna (although Donna swears it was Aunt Barbie to gave her the cookie....)
  • No teeth, yet!
