This week Eleanor travelled to Aspen for her first ski week!\u00a0 Well, she didn’t actually go skiing, but maybe next year ?\u00a0 Eleanor travelled like a champ, without really any crying at all, and slept for most of the flight.\u00a0 She received numerous complements on her “Future Ski Bunny” travelling outfit.\u00a0\u00a0 Eleanor and Dad tried to have a fun lunch in the park \u2013 but there were no tables that the portable high chair could clip on to, and there wasn’t enough shade to take her out of the car seat, so we ended up just having lunch back at the house.\u00a0 Eleanor did make it to Johnny McGuires \u2013 for what I\u2019m sure will be the first of many trips ?<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Besides vacation, Eleanor has been focused on a few new skills this week.\u00a0 Most exciting is that she can now make a sound when she claps.\u00a0 She surprised herself with that little trick, and has since been clapping up a storm.\u00a0 She also has developed a preference for eating her “puffs” in two to three stages.\u00a0 Stage one includes holding the puff in her mouth while she bites off about half.\u00a0 Stage two sometimes further divides the remaining puff in two, and other times finishes off the puff.\u00a0 Stage three involves trying to eat the remaining \u00bc puff \u2013 with a 50% success rate (it\u2019s really small by then, and hard to grab).\u00a0 Eleanor is also starting to show some interest in crawling \u2013 we haven\u2019t had any actual forward motion yet, but she is enjoying rolling and being on her tummy more now, and every now and then will perform a swimming stroke with her arms that I think is the precursor to an “army crawl”.<\/div>\n
