Toddling Thru

While Mom & Dad were off having fun in the sun last week, Eloise spent the week with Grandma Karen & Grandpa Kevin.  She had a great time and kept them on their toes.  While she was there, Auntie Lo stopped by with a fun craft project for Eloise - handmade ornaments for Mom & Dad!  She made the dough, helped Eloise make the imprints, and painted the final project. Thanks for the special gift Eloise & Auntie Lo. 

Over the past few weeks, Eloise has developed some new "tricks" too.  She has mastered pointing to some body parts on command - eyes, ear, nose, mouth, & belly.  She laughs when you ask her where her belly is because she promptly pulls up her shirt and gives her a belly a few taps.  After playing with Grandma's nativity scene all last week, she has mastered the sound of a sheep - a very low, almost growl-like BAAAAAAAAAAAAA.  Her favorite new trick is eating with a spoon or fork.

You know how kids love boxes? Well, Eloise seems to have a thing for reusable grocery bags. She put herself in this bag & wanted to be carried around in it.  

When we tried to take her out, she had a meltdown so we let her stay in it a little while longer...
