These are pictures from July 2nd or so when we went to Gymboree open gym. I have a few of Desmond and a bunch of Eloise. In fact there are enough of them that I am going to split them into 2 posts. The pictures maybe a bit blurry since I took them on the smaller point and shoot camera and not on the good camera. Anyways here is Desmond playing and Eloise looking cute.

I love this picture of her just looking right at the camera!

On the 5th we went to the wedding of a good family friend. Desmond and Eloise were invited as well and both of them had fun. My whole family was there as well, since the groom’s mother is my Mom’s best friend and we grew up with the groom and his sister. Both in Boston and in Atlanta. It was a lot of fun, even though I did miss most of the ceremony due to chasing a 2 year old who had no interest in sitting still to watch the ceremony. He had a lot of fun at the wedding though on the dance floor! Here are some pictures of Desmond with me, Dan, Nonnie and one of Eloise and Nonnie as well.

So on Father’s Day we went out to the pick your own farm. We were going to get blueberries, strawberries and raspberries. We got some cherries because the two short ones were asleep when we got there so I went out picking while they napped in the car with Dan. The strawberries were rather weak so we decided to skip them. The raspberry fields were still closed, but we got a bunch of blueberries. Desmond loves blueberries. Here are all the pictures of Desmond picking blueberries. We should be going back this weekend to get more blueberries and some raspberries as well.

And here are me and Eloise picking some blueberries

I have a bunch of pictures to put up stretching from Father’s Day to yesterday. I also have a bunch of posts to make. We’ve been busy, went to a wedding on the 5th and then down to Atlanta for the week. We had a lot of fun at both. I’ve declared Desmond unpotty trained, he stopped showing any interest in going, so he is back in diapers for the moment. It is too bad since he was basically fully trained before he decided he was no longer interested.

Eloise is 4 months old and can sit, sort of for about a minute or two, it is more of a tripod sit, with her hands supporting her, then a full sit, but it is still cute. Desmond is talking a ton, he just decided he was ready to talk while we were in Atlanta so he started too. He still doesn’t always talk, but he says a lot more now then he was 2 weeks ago. Best line from him recently was at the lake house my Mom was making him eggs with cheese, and he looked at the eggs and said, “Not enough cheese!”.

Anyways here are a couple of teaser pictures, I have a ton to post, I’ll try to get some up this evening/tomorrow.

So yesterday we did a bunch of things for father’s day, including blueberry picking, of which pictures I’ll get up when I get the camera out of the car. One of the many things we did though was get Eloise’s 3 month pictures done. We really wanted a nice picture of Desmond and Eloise together, we failed, we got an okay one, but Desmond wasn’t in a cooperative mood when it was time for pictures. Hopefully we’ll get a nice one eventually. Anyways here are Eloise’s 3 month pictures, she looks so big and non-newbornish now!

And finally the two of them!

Here are some more pictures of Eloise from yesterday when she was doing tummy time.

I love the look on her face in this picture

So Eloise is now 3 months old. She turned 3 months old yesterday, so I got a bunch of pictures of her. She is so alert now it is amazing, she has her own personality and she seems so much more like a little person now, then just a baby. She is happiest when she has someone holding her or at least talking to her, but she is okay on the floor or alone for 10 to 15 minutes sometimes. Here are a bunch of pictures I took yesterday on her 3 month birthday.

We bought a big bowl at Target last night, because we need it for washing wool diaper covers. Desmond thinks it makes a nice hat, for both him and Eloise!

Saturday we ran some errands and then stopped by my in-law’s house. They didn’t have the kiddie pool set up since the weather was calling for thunderstorms, so Desmond was a bit disapointed. Desmond and Eloise had fun anyways though and I got a couple of cute pictures of Eloise with her Dadi (Grandmother) and just alone.

And here are the last of the pictures of Eloise. Doesn’t she look so big and alert. It is kind of a shock to think she is 3 months old on Sunday. It has gone by fast.
