Dear Eleanor-

Mommy cannot believe you are 9 months old!

You are crawling around on your hands and knees with no problems! You are pulling yourself up to standing and when you are channeling you inner daredevil, you even let go!!

Your smile and laughter is infectious! You love to giggle as mommy and daddy sing to you and bounce you around. You are clapping when we say "Yay" and are even waving "bye bye". You never cease to amazxe me with what you learn on a daily basis!

Love, Mommy


18 months

Dear Miss Eleanor-

You are now a big 18 months! I can hardly believe how much you have grown! You are a walking, talking machine!!! You're favorite character is Elmo, and every night before you go to bed, we read your Elmo book. You even laugh like the Count from Sesame street!  You like to watch a couple minutes of Elmo when we get home from school at night while Mommy frantically tries to get dinner together. :)

You have lots of favorite words! You say Mine, Mama, Dada, Bye bye, night night, book, More, Please, Thank you, Apple, Bobo (for Tanner), and so many more!  Everyday you say and imitate so many new words. You even say your name! It melts my heart every time!!!

You are so inquisitive! You love to garden outside with mommy and Grammy. You love daddy to chase you around the house and flip you upside down. You like to draw with sidewalk chalk and go on walks. You never cease to amaze me. I love watching you explore the world and learn about the things around you.

At Daycare, you seem to have made a new friend, Bradly! Daddy's not too pleased about the daycare boyfriend, but he is happy that you no longer cling to him and cry when he has to say goodbye.

You love to draw and color with crayons, and you love to say everything is Blue!

You love to sing, and we even catch you singing "Twinkle Twinkle". You also like "No more Monkeys Jumping on the bed!"

I love watch you grow into a sweet, caring, intelligent little girl!!

Love,
Mommy
