Back Home
Eleanor had a great time on vacation, but was also very glad to be home and back to her room and her non-inflatable crib. We were able to take our belated 8 Month photo with Zapa, and then have a nice relaxing week at home. Eleanor was very interested in the mirror this week…

8 Months
Eleanor turned eight months this week while in Aspen. Unfortunately, this means that the monthly family picture with Zapa will have to be delayed a few days (as Zapa doesn’t fly). Now that she is eight months old, Eleanor is doing a lot of new things. So many, in fact, that it was a bit…

Aspen!
This week Eleanor travelled to Aspen for her first ski week! Well, she didn’t actually go skiing, but maybe next year ?

Spring Arrives

St. Patrick’s Day festivities included getting all dressed up in green, and going out for a Shamrock Shake – and for spring we all went out on a nice walk (and stopped by the cupcake shop). Funny how holidays and tasty deserts…

Green River!
Eleanor went to see the annual Chicago River Dyeing in celebration of St. Patrick’s Day. It was a bit cold, so she didn’t get out of her cozy car seat, but we did get a few good pictures. If you look closely in the background, you can see that the cause of the green river…

Seven Months!
Eleanor turned seven months old this week, and celebrated with lots of smiles. Her two top teeth are really starting to show, and Amy has dubbed them her “hippo” teeth. With these new teeth, its really just a matter of time until the “Hi” pacifier becomes the ” ” pacifier. Eleanor got lots of Aunt Lary…

More Visitors
Papa John and Mimi Sheri came to visit this weekend – we had lots of fun hanging out and shopping. Papa John proved to be an expert with the spoon during Ellie’s Saturday lunch – as well as an excellent bedtime story reader. Mimi Sheri had fun pushing Eleanor around town on Friday, playing with the pinwheel, and taking…

Six Month Photo Shoot
We got some great shots of Eleanor during her six month photo shoot. Unfortunately, she wasn’t in the best of spirits when the photographer arrived, having missed the morning nap. We couldn’t get her to play with her toes, but had some fun standing instead. Enjoy!
