New and Improved Nursery





We have revamped Eleanors room to make it more baby friendly. It used to be John's office / baby's room. We like it much better this way. I still have to put things on the wall. The girls love it. The girls also enjoy playing in the crib together.

Sharing




Eleanor and Linnea are getting more aggressive lately over toys. I am trying to teach them to take turns...but I don't feel like we are getting anywhere. Anyone have any ideas? She seems to have a bit of a temper. Also new this week, if you say flower Eleanor will sniff. She also learned to say cookie and girl. She just traded Linnea her headband for a John Deere Tractor.

Back To "Normal"






We are trying to get back on a schedule since our long journey to the South and back. Eleanor and Linnea now enjoy playing dress up (well for about 5 min) and can hold hands. Eleanor is at that stage where she absorbs new information and does something new each day. One of her favorite games to play is running around blindly with something covering her eyes (a hat, blanket, my underware...). This is dangerouse because she always runs into something and she has the bruises to prove it. Just tonight she gave John a "kiss" while he was watching the Patriots play the Chargers. At first we were not sure that she wasn't trying to bite his face, but it turns out she was giving a big wet kiss. Two new words this week have been diaper, "piper" and fish, "feesh".
