Here are a bunch of pictures from the playground on Labor Day. I know it is such a descriptive post, isn’t it? Anyways here is Desmond having fun at the playground.

These are two of my favorite pictures of the ones I have taken recently of Desmond and Eloise.

First we have Desmond coming out of a tunnel at the playground.

Next we have Eloise trying to figure out if she can escape the family room.

One of the things that we have done with our bean box is played with Desmond’s cars in it. He has enjoyed this, he likes running the cars through the beans. It keeps him entertained for 10 to 15 minutes at a time, which is always a good thing.

A week or two ago I looked up and saw the following. It is amusing to see what Desmond does to amuse himself sometimes.

A couple of weeks ago we were at Costco. Their shopping carts has space for 2 children, so we put both Eloise and Desmond in it. Here they are out in the parking lot. Desmond was very nice to his sister when she was next to him.

We have started giving Eloise a cup to play with at dinner time. That was when we get around to putting something in it she might have an idea of what to do with it. Here are a few pictures of her playing with her cup.

Hi! Yep Eloise has said hi a couple of times at the right point in time. Only a 2 months earlier then her brother, seriously child try to be a baby for at least a few more months! On the other hand if she is anything like her brother, she might be able to speak, but she won’t much for then next year and a half. Of course she might talk a lot unlike her brother.

Today Eloise is 6 months old. It is weird how fast the time went, I remember bringing her home from the hospital. Wondering when she would roll, hoping she won’t move as fast as Desmond (false hope, she went mobile earlier then him), watching her sleep, watching her move, smile, laugh and cry.

We went to Kiddie Kandids and got her pictures done today, Desmond was actually cooperative, so I got a good one of the two of them together. Eloise wasn’t thrilled with the picture taking though, we got some cute pictures but she was not happy with us and it took a lot of work. Here she is at 6 months.

Eloise and Desmond, Desmond is wearing his I’m a big brother shirt to go along with Eloise’s little sister shirt.

I love this picture, she looks like she has just paused right before she is about to take off moving.

and sometimes we spin in circles. The first video here is from yesterday morning too. Desmond was going into the pantry where he has two cars stashed, I don’t ask why he’s 2 that is the best answer I’ve got, I asked him if he was going to give the car to Eloise to play with, so he went back to the pantry to put the toy away so she couldn’t have it. Such a caring brother *grin*.

The second video is from last night. Desmond decided to run and spin in circles for 30 minutes or so. It made me tired just watching it. I did tape him though since it was amusing to watch if a bit tiring.

Here are two videos from yesterday morning. The first one is the two of them playing together. In the second one, Desmond went into the bathroom to get a cloth to wipe off Eloise’s face. He is such a nice big brother!
