Here are some more pictures of her, I took a lot, so I decided to split it into 3 posts.

Eloise came with us to Gymboree as well. We decided to take the carrier if we wanted to put her up or if she wanted up, but to let her hang out on the floor and explore if she was interested. She was. She looks so big now at almost 3 months. She is really alert and is working hard on catching up to her big brother, she wants to move, move, move!

Here are a bunch of pictures of her hanging out in one of the rings that they had there.

Here are a couple of pictures of Desmond and Eloise together when we were in Atlanta.

Oh look it is Eloise!

Maybe I’ll kiss her or hug her, or smoosh her!

Well that didn’t work quite right, but she is still here so maybe I’ll try again.

Hmm she doesn’t seem to want a kiss!

That’s okay I’ll kiss her anyways!

Okay I’m done now, bye bye! Hope you got pictures, because I am done.

I still have some pictures to post. My Grandfather died the Tuesday after Memorial day and we went down to Atlanta for the funeral. I have a post to do for him, with pictures of him and Desmond and Eloise. I also have some pictures of Desmond and Eloise from Atlanta, that are cute, including one of Desmond kissing Eloise.

As for other updates, everything is going well at the moment in our lives, we have a couple of free weekends, which is nice. We’re going back to Atlanta on July 5th, and going down to the lake which should be great. We saw Laura and Miles and Noah and Clare on Saturday at Noah and Clare’s place. Laura and Miles had just gotten back from a cruise that left out of the port of Baltimore. It was nice to see everyone and Eloise went into a pool for the first time, though she didn’t get much more then her legs wet, because the water was freezing.

Desmond is potty training, he refuses to wear diapers anymore, so it is either potty train him or do a lot of consistent cleaning of accidents, so potty training it is. He is actually doing fairly well at it. Yesterday he only had one accident where he didn’t make it to the potty. Today he’s only had one accident so far, so hopefully we can keep it to the one.

Eloise is rolling over quite well and working on crawling. She can move if she wants to, it is just a lot of work for her. I was kind of hoping she would be slightly less mobile then Desmond, not more. Then again, everything is pretty baby proofed so if she wants to start army crawling it isn’t a huge deal either. She is growing well, and is in mainly 3-6 month sized clothing, which are still a bit big, but a lot of her 0-3 stuff is to small, so too big it is. It is really hard to believe she will be 3 months on Sunday, she is really active and awake a lot now. She still loves to be held and doesn’t like to be put down, but she will spend 10 to 15 minutes entertaining herself in her co-sleeper or on the floor (when it is safe to put her there), which is nice.

That is really all that is going on right now, it is pretty quiet here which is nice.

So Eloise was on my back for the strawberry picking, so we didn’t get any pictures of her, then again all you would have seen was a little foot sticking out. I did get a few picture of her later in the day at my in-law’s house though. So here they are.

This morning while Dan was changing her diaper Eloise rolled over from back to front! It was nice to know she can roll over, since it was one of the few milestones she hadn’t hit on the doctor’s chart on Wednesday, and since Desmond rolled over from about 10 days on.

Oh and I have a bunch of pictures of both her and Desmond to put up from this weekend. I’ll try to get some up at nap time tomorrow.

Here are the rest of the pictures of Eloise.

Here are some of miss Eloise.

For mother’s day we went to the lake across the street, I wanted to get some pictures of Desmond and Eloise, preferably together. I failed in the together part, but I got a bunch of pictures of each of them individually. Desmond’s are mainly him eating and peeing oranges, he quite enjoyed that. Eloise’s are mainly her just looking cute, she is good at that. There are a bunch of pictures so I’ll post then in a couple of separate posts. Here are some that are not really categorized to start with.

On May 2nd we drove down to Richmond for a ceremony for my Grandfather, everyone got to see the bench my Grandmother had chosen and they put his ashes in his spot in the bench. Unfortunately it decided to rain right as we started, and with Desmond there too, we didn’t get to hear or see much of the ceremony. It was nice though. After that we went back to Mommom’s house and everyone spent some time together. The next morning before we left to drive home, we stopped by Mommom’s again and got some pictures of Eloise and Desmond with Mommom, so here they are.
