This week brought\u00a0a few inches of snow on the ground, and we took the opportunity to bundle Eleanor up and take her out into the backyard (Sorry Henry – You’ll have to wait until next year…)\u00a0 It took about 15 minutes to get her all dressed up into her winter finest, and about 3 minutes outside before she’d had enough and wanted to come back inside.\u00a0 We did get a few cute pictures though.\u00a0 Henry had a few firsts this week, including taking a bottle and using a pacifier.\u00a0 The bottle was highly successful, the pacifier only lasted a few minutes.\u00a0 Both Eleanor and Henry went to their first birthday party for a “friend” – Zach our neighbor.\u00a0 He hosted the party at a play gym that Eleanor loved.\u00a0 Henry slept for a bit, and then cried for the rest.<\/p>\n

Eleanor is picking up new words everyday it seems, adding “melt”, “rough” for example.\u00a0 I was pretty sure I heard her say “bye”, but Mom disagreed.\u00a0 Henry has been working on his sleep, and it is getting a bit more regular.\u00a0 He has given us a few 6-7 hour stretches at night, but other nights he is up every few hours.\u00a0 This weekend, I believe that Dad and Henry logged a total of about 8 hours sleeping on the gray couch –\u00a0 it’s a tough job, but I believe Dads should be actively involved in sleep training :)<\/p>\n
