It was a fun packed week with St. Patrick\u2019s day, Henry\u2019s three month old birthday and a sudden influx of summer weather.\u00a0\u00a0 Attire at the park went from hat and vest to t-shirts \u2013 and we broke out the water table and played in the sandbox in the back yard.\u00a0 \u00a0On Saturday we went out for breakfast, and then saw the Chicago River dyed green.\u00a0 Eleanor mostly enjoyed running around the riverwalk, while Henry enjoyed a nice nap in the 75 degree weather.\u00a0 We took lots of pictures in their matching green outfits, which gave Eleanor and Henry lots of quality time sitting next to each other.\u00a0 Eleanor loves to give and get kisses from Henry \u2013 and she likes hugging him so much that we have to make sure she doesn’t smother him!\u00a0 She got a bit over excited attempting one hug during Henry\u2019s play time on the mat, and tripped and fell right on his head.<\/p>\n

Eleanor is becoming more and more independent at the park, especially when it is just Mom and Henry with her \u2013 this week she completed a full circuit including ramp, steps and slide all by herself! \u00a0She can also now go down the stairs at home all by herself too.\u00a0 Verbally, she perfected the name of the little boy who lives next door, and finalized on \u201cGa\u201d and \u201cPa\u201d for Grandma and Grandpa.\u00a0 She also put two words together to form new meaning \u2013 saying \u201cMama egg\u201d when she wanted a piece of Mama\u2019s egg instead of her own.<\/p>\n

Henry has been napping much better \u2013 which is mostly nice for Mom and Dad \u2013 but has definitely reduced the amount of crying as well.\u00a0 He noticed the mirror while he was getting a bath for this first time this week, surprised to find another baby also getting a bath :)\u00a0 His head tracking is also getting much better \u2013 he will follow you with his eyes if you get up and walk away.<\/p>\n

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!<\/p>\n
