Fun around the house!

Wyatt came over to play last week. This picture makes me laugh because it looks like Cohen and Wyatt are having a staring contest!

My sweets!

Wyatt and Eleanor didn't really know what to think of one another at first!

But Wyatt eventually made himself at home!

They had fun playing with one another!

Mmm...lunch time!

This girl has got some crazy hair these days!

The window in our living room gives off a beautiful natural light in the late afternoon and as Eleanor was climbing all over me, I caught this picture of her sweet face. Both of my babies (and Wyatt, too, actually) all have the most beautiful eyelashes!

This is the result of cradle cap treatment that will NOT wash out. Even after two shampoos! Poor thing! That's some wild hair!

Eleanor's first Build A Bear Workshop experience!

Checking out the fluff!

Cohen was in charge of the stuffing!

Happy girl!

Giving her new bear sweet hugs...

...and patting him so soft!

Build A Bear Workshop debuted their Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Mr. Cohen just HAD to go and make one, so when Melinda was in town a few weeks ago, she (we) took the kids to let Cohen "build" one. When we got there, Miss Eleanor went all goo-goo eyed over all the bears and puppies - well and all the softness in general! We decided she should probably go ahead and make one, too! She picked a big fluffy, velvety bear and we got in line to stuff him. Cohen was in charge of stuffing both his Ninja Turtle and her bear and then the girl sewed them up and handed them over. Cohen was excited, don't get me wrong, but what happened next was THE sweetest thing I've ever seen! Eleanor hugged that bear like she had been waiting all of her life for him - hugged him so tight and then started patting his back like he was her long-lost best friend! It was so innocent and sweet and definitely an experience I won't soon forget. Needless to say, she may sleep with her little pink bunny, but her big brown bear has also found a permanent place in her crib with her and there have been countless times I've checked in on her and seen her using him as a pillow!

Eleanor is 10 months old!

Swimming fun!

Floatin' around!

Swimming like an alligator!

Takin' a break!

"I'll get you, Momma!"

Getting tired of swimming so she needed me to hold her for a while!

Pondering his next swim stroke, I suppose!

Hello there!

Sportin' Aunt Sandy's cool shades!

Precious little flamingo!

We had so much fun swimming with Aunt Sandy and Wyatt...and Gigi, too, of course!!

Mommy's birthday dinner!

Love him so much!

My two beautiful babies!

I had such a happy birthday! We went to Cheesecake Factory for dinner and had a great time! I am such a lucky girl to have such a beautiful, loving family!

A little dose of ridiculousness!

We have an "app" on our computer called Photo Booth. It provides some good giggles and laughs and results in some very silly pictures! Fun times!

Eleanor 9 months!

Bathtime fun!

Look at all those curls!

Such a doll! She was just helping me with the laundry!

I had been trying for-e-ver to capture a picture of this! When she wants to take something from one place to another, she puts it in her mouth like a puppy dog! Whatever work, I suppose!

Wild hair!!
