Eleanor and Henry enjoyed a week with lots of outdoor time.\u00a0 It started with a birthday party for Eleanos and one of Eleanor\u2019s friends at the park, and continued right through Sunday afternoon when we donned Eleanor\u2019s new rain boots and braved some rain to stomp in a few puddles.\u00a0 \u00a0Both Henry and Eleanor enjoyed a visit from Uncle B and Breanne on Saturday \u2013 it took a little while but Eleanor warmed up and was very impressed with Uncle B\u2019s bubble blowing abilities.\u00a0\u00a0 Eleanor has really been enjoying a few new books that she picked out on a trip to Barnes and Nobel with Mom and Henry, especially \u201cWacky Wednesday\u201d, \u201cPut me in the Zoo\u201d and \u201cOne Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish\u201d.\u00a0 One afternoon after nap, she even asked to read a story to Henry.<\/p>\n

Henry\u2019s top teeth are really filling in, there are now four that you can see clearly, and maybe one more starting to pop.\u00a0 He is really getting a hang of rolling and scooting on the ground, although he prefers to do it when no one is watching.\u00a0 Both Mom and Dad have been surprised to find him in a different place and position than we left him.\u00a0 We\u2019ve been slowly adding some more solid foods to his diet, but so far he hasn\u2019t loved any of them.\u00a0 This week he tried some chopped up mac and cheese and some apple, as well as eating some of Eleanor\u2019s yogurt for the first time (sneaky guy).\u00a0 His favorite thing to do is stand while hanging on to either Eleanor\u2019s crib or the walls of the playpen in the front room.\u00a0 He has also really taken to Eleanor\u2019s racecars, and loves to sit and watch them spin around.<\/p>\n
