EMN 9 months old

Eleanor is NINE MONTHS OLD!



She is not a teeny squishy baby. She weighs 20+ lbs.  She is in the 95% for height and head, and 75-90% in weight. So a gigantic baby. She is super active and loves to chase her sister around.  She does not walk yet, but that is fine. She gets where she needs to be.


It was very hard to take her monthly shots because the rug isn't very wide.  I should have thought of that in month one.  Oh well.  Eleanor traveled with me to Atlanta and endured house hunting with the Chapmans.  She was such a fantastic baby. I leave her this week for 2 nights for a work trip.  Fingers crossed she doesn't reject the freezer stash…luckily her appetite for real food should make up for any caloric deficit she may encounter due to milk.



She still hasn't warmed to the extended family.  But I've been telling her that her aunties and nanas aren't going anywhere, so she needs to get used to them (in the sweetest way possible).  We love this big nug!

Happy Mother's Day!

Little Graces Graduation

Caroline and Eleanor attend Little Graces Playgroup with Nini here in the Palisades.  It is every morning and you can come and go as you please, since it is for the 6 month-3yr age group. This was the last week of official playgroup (summer camp starts in another week and both girls will go!) so today LG honored the littles who will be headed to preschool in the fall!  That includes Caroline.



The "graduates" all wore green and played outside before circle time, singing, and a video.





This is William.  He is C's BEST FRIEND at camp.  His mama happens to work with me.


Then there was a bouncy house.  And cake.




Eleanor will attend next fall as well.  She loves to play in the toy pit and crawl all around and sing and clap.  We're happy to be part of the Little Graces family!



p.s. we love our Nini :)
