Eloise

Eloise is now 13 months old and is running around getting into anything she can get her hands on. She also has quite the vocabulary. She says dada, mama, doggy, yucky, and stinky. She says peez for please. She will hand me things and say tankdoo for thank you. She says boppy for blanky, bah-fie for butterfly, bown beh for brown bear, tucky for turkey, she loves to say hi to everyone. She always says mah-mah-mah-mah when she wants more or when she wants some of whatever your having. Nana for banana, meh for milk, dat for that.
She also loves to make animal noises. She woofs when she sees a dog, meows when she sees a cat, moos for a cow, bahs for a sheep, roars for a lion and a bear, she also makes a monkey sound and an elephant sound.
She has discovered her belly button and sticks out her tongue when you ask her where her tongue is.
She also marches in place to music or when you say "stomp, stomp, stomp."
She loves to have books read to her.

I am constantly chasing her around when I dress or undress her. It is just too difficult for her to hold still and she takes off running any chance she gets.

Happy First Birthday!

Eloise had two birthday parties this year. While we were in Utah, she had a combined party with her cousin, Alice, which was very fun and as you will see, she thoroughly enjoyed making a mess of her birthday cake. We also had a small party for her in Williamsburg on her actual birthday with a few friends.
This past year has been a complete delight. I can't believe our little one is already one. Eloise has been and continues to be a sweet, happy baby and we feel so blessed to have such an outstanding little girl. We love her so much!

Williamsburg Party. She had her first brownie and enjoyed every bite!
