Eleanor had a very busy week this week – especially the end of the week.  We started the week celebrating Valentine’s day in a fun outfit, and eating blueberries for the first time (messy!).  On Thursday we discovered the much delayed top tooth finally coming through.  On Friday, Dad played hookie and went along to baby…

We purchased Eleanor a high chair this week to aid in her new found love of food.  She has been branching out into crazy food combinations like “Pears, Peas and Broccoli” and “Peach Oatmeal Banana”.  Her favorite still seems to be single fruits, especially pears and mangoes.  Amazingly, we still don’t have any progress to…

Eleanor celebrated her half birthday by throwing the 2011 Super Bowl Chili Cookoff – her first party.  She did an excellent job hosting, although she did have to go to bed before the guests left.  It was great fun meeting lots of new people all at once.

Eleanor turned five months old this week.  She bookended the week with a couple of firsts.  Early Monday morning I went in to check on her (what’s all the fussing about?) and found her lying on her tummy in her crib.  Her first back to tummy roll over!  We even got an action shot of…

Ellie had her first taste of solid (although it is hard to call the mush that was rice cereal solid) food yesterday.  Enjoy!
