    KANSAS!  This week brought Eleanor’s (and Mike’s) first trip to Kansas and her first chance to meet Great Grandma Geneva, Great Grandma Adams, along with lots of Aunts, Grandaunts, Great Grandaunts, Cousins, Great Cousins, and every other relation you can think of :)  We had our first airplane ride, our first visit to a “Farm”, and…

    We had lots of fun this week, including our official Two Month Old photo.  Side by side you can really notice quite a difference from the Official One Month Old photo.  A few firsts this week: full length Pj’s, and holding a toy in our hand (a monkey, or as Amy would say, a frog).  [Editor’s note: please…

    Well, it took me quite a long time, and several computers, but I finally finished the video highlights from Eleanor’s Arrival.   It only covers the first four days or so – which means I’m already way behind with all the other great video we have.  At this rate, I’ll finish video highlights of her first…

    It’s been a really fun week with Ellie.  She is really starting to smile a lot, each day she seems to have more fun during playtime than the last.  We had a super fun weekend with Papa John and Mimi Sheri!  They each got to feed her a bottle, and we took lots of fall…

    We took a week off from visitors and as a result didn’t take nearly as many pictures.  It did give Aunt Lary and Uncle B a chance for some good one on one time with Ellie.  We should get back on track at the end of next week when Papa John and Mimi Sheri come to…

    This week brought lots of visitors to see Eleanor.  Gramski came up for a week long visit, which included some shopping on Michigan Avenue (and our first trip actually into a store…..GAP, of course), and lunch al fresco.  Gramski also had the chance to give Ellie a bottle.  Actually, we had quite a few folks…

    Eleanor turned one month old this week, and we celebrated with a Labor Day cookout.  Brian, Breanne, Sarah, Jay and Laura all came over with tons of food, and Jay cooked it all up.  Yummy!  We also had some self portraits, and a bath.  How about that for a celebration! Grandma and Grandpa Littleton stopped by for a…

  • First Smile?

    The doctors tell us that newborns can’t smile until 6 weeks or so, and anything that looks like a smile prior to that is just gas.  However, Amy believes that she has captured Eleanor’s first smile on video.  I’m inclined to agree.  I’ll let you decide for yourself.  :)

    It’s hard to believe that we’ve had four weeks with little Eleanor.  Highlights this week included a visit from Aunt Ann (Littleton) and a trip to Uncle B’s house for BBQ and football.  We also had our first bottle feeding, our first big girl book with no pictures (although as you will see, both Amy…

    It was a busy week of firsts for little Eleanor.  She hosted her first cookout party and her first overnight visitor, as well as had her first lunch out and first trip to Starbucks.  A big thanks to everyone who brought us dinners – Breanne with the yummy lasagna, Sarah and (mostly) Jay for the…
