The new seating arrangement

Miss E is rockin' the new chair and I would say she is enjoying it. The seating arrangement is working for everyone. :-) Eleanore loves to be sitting up high, playing with toys and chewing on carrot sticks (with supervision I might add). I would not have thought of this expect for my girlfriend Krisanne mentioned her little guy is doing this and I thought, why not E. I would say it does keep her busy.

Food is going to wait until after the holidays, stay tune to see what goes well and what comes back out.

We also had a 6 mo. check up. She is weighing in at 16.3, 26.5" long and her head is in the 50th percentile. She is doing well! :-)

The girls...

1st in a long time of just the girls. I always have the camera making sure shots are being taken hence I am not in very many. So, I said, Jim was are all sitting here, take a couple.

Sage was lucky to get in on the shot too.

O Christmas Tree

Yep, this is our Christmas tree for 2010.

This cute little craftiness sitting in the corner was made up by my auntie. And since it kills me to go buy a tree for mega bucks and it doesn't even look nice and I can't go cut it myself. This year i decided that this one suits us nicely.

Eleanore got to sit and watch as Claire and I put on the lights and added ribbon.

As you can tell, Sage has enjoyed the tree too.

And we shall call her...

Sage! A farm kitty from down the road and she was just to cute to give up. She came with the name 'Princess' but i didn't think i could live with a cat by that name for 20 years and since i have only named 1 cat in my life, it wasn't so easy for me. But i think Sage suites her, if i'm wrong then you better make a comment with a name suggestion. :-}

Yes I am crazy for getting into this but all this kitty stage shall pass, right?

The scratching, leg climbing, kitty playing with baby toys instead of her own, jumping into the bath tub full of water and so on. It will all pass and she will be grown and loved by all of us.

The one good thing, she tolerates Eleanore and her crazy kitty petting hands.

Baby E at 22 weeks!

December 2nd, (22 wks).

Eleanore is getting so strong, sitting up more on her own

likes to sit in the baby rocking chair

the exer-saucer is beginning to be used

Still sleeping well but she does tend to be a night owl

She is grabbing more and loves to watch Claire and Claire loves to be goofy and make E laugh.

Eleanore continues to be a wonderful baby, giggling, smiling, and love-able!

She's passing up the sister...

Eleanore at 16 weeks.

18 weeks.

I should do better at taking pictures at the same distance but I guess a few weeks apart isn't that much change. I took E into the Tender Transition at the hospital and she weighed in at 16 lbs. 1 oz. Her sister CMW didn't weigh this until she was passed the 6 mos. mark. She is doing great!! A good eater and sleeper. As always, a joy to us!

Fabric for a baby gift? Really?

Yes, really! I was given some pretty neat fat quarters as my baby gift to use in my quilting adventures and baby making gifts. I would have to say my girlfriend Paula does know how to give gifts! And they were from the quilt shop in Perham, the one that is 'to die for' with amazing flannels, snuggle fabric and cotton prints. And as one girlfriend puts it, they are all designer fabrics which makes it all that much neater to have! It isn't the run of the mill Joannes which I will admit that is where I make 90% of my purchases.

So I will just have to say 'Waa-hoo' for a great friend and great gifts and great visitors.

Paula and her girls came out to visit since they were in the F/M area for a couple of days. It was such a good time! Our older girl are 6 weeks apart and our younger girls are 3 months apart, but you wouldn't be able to tell by size, Miss E is pretty large for being 3 months. It was fun to catch up and see how big the girls are getting. And what's neater is Paula moved closer to the F/M area so it will be easier to visit more often and we are both excited about this!
