new toys

Eloise is enjoying her new doorway jumper. She can jump. She can bounce. She can twirl. But her favorite is to just chew on it.

vacation

We just got back from a really nice vacation. We drove up to Oregon for a visit and camped on the way up and back. By the way - THANK YOU to Kate for letting us take her BRAND NEW car and saving our vacation!

Here are a few highlights...

Eloise loves camping!

Eloise loves playing in the creek!

Eloise loves visiting with Grandpa, Grandma and Heidi!

Eloise loves making new friends. And I love seeing old friends. This is Katie and Brooke. Katie is a childhood friend of mine (I used to baby sit her!) and her baby Brooke is just a few weeks older than Eloise.

WOW!

A BIG thank you to Lizzie and Rosie (and good old Sam the dog) for what is probably the hugest birthday card I have ever received! Oh yeah, and another big thank you to Jim and Sandra for providing the truck. hee hee.

bed head

I love watching Eloise wake up from her nap. She goes through an entire routine that includes yawning, stretching, rubbing her eyes, blinking and (usually) eventually smiling.
