Eleanor and Henry had a great last week of 2011 – and Henry was up at midnight to mark the start of 2012 (Eleanor, thankfully, was fast asleep).\u00a0\u00a0 Henry was introduced to d-vi-sol and tummy time this week – neither of which were his favorite.\u00a0 He is quite strong with his neck and back muscles, and can lift both legs off the ground and\u00a0switch\u00a0his head from side to side while doing tummy time. \u00a0 Beyond that, he is mostly concentrating on eating, sleeping, and training Mom and Dad as to which needs to be done when.\u00a0 Eleanor is adjusting to life with a brother – mostly quite well.\u00a0 She has been enjoying the extra time with Dad, Mimi and Aunt Lary over the last few weeks, but she still misses all the one on one time she used to have with Mom.\u00a0 She got a suprise late in the week when Mom came home from the store with a potty for her!\u00a0 So far, it is just a chair with a fun compartment for her toys – but hopefully over the next few months, she will learn to utilize it.\u00a0 The whole family broke out the double stroller for its maiden voyage this week – marking Henry’s first stroll and first trip to the grocery store, and Eleanor’s first stroll with a co-pilot.\u00a0\u00a0 Eleanor also had a food first – sneaking some popcorn out of Mom’s bag.\u00a0 After taking her first one, she headed off to the slide for more playtime –\u00a0 but before she made it (it was only a few steps away) she decided she needed another kernel.\u00a0 She repeated that process a few times – I think she will be a popcorn fan!<\/p>\n
