Happy Birthday Dan, I hope you have a great day!

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!

So we were watching the credits on one of Desmond’s dvds and a preview for Busy Town came up. I mentioned it was based on Richard Scarry’s work, and Dan goes who is Richard Scarry? I thought everyone knew Richard Scarry! Seriously I am amazed he missed reading any Richard Scarry books as a child. Scarry and Seuss are like the two children authors I remember best.

No accidents so far today. Not even a poop one yet, though I am still expecting that one, and I am still declaring him potty trained even with him not going poop in the potty yet. We went out this morning to the playground in his undies and no accident, and he is now napping and I expect when he wakes for him to be dry as well. So I think that this is officially the end of diapers except for night time and plane rides now, for Desmond.

Yay Desmond!

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!

Desmond wants you to know he has stinky feet. See he is even smelling them himself! And saying Peeyew! He wants you to smell them too, so he is holding them out so you can.

We went out strawberry picking on Sunday. Unfortunately it rained a lot of last week, so there were a lot of rotten strawberries. In the time it took us to go through half a row and get 10 pounds of strawberries last time, we waded through 2 rows and got about 2 and a half pounds of strawberries before giving up. They were small strawberries as well all the big ones were rotten, and a number of them were very very very ripe.

I did take a few pictures of Desmond while the strawberry picking happened though. So here he is.

Desmond is sitting here telling us he is done now.

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.
