So we went to Sears today to get Eloise’s one year pictures done since Kiddie Kandids is gone. I was impressed, we got a ton of pictures. I realized after the pictures were done that I wanted a few more of her in her first outfit, but I decided not to worry about it since the photographer had taken over 40 pictures of her. We got to chose which ones we liked from all of them. Which was a huge change from Kiddie Kandids where you get to chose from between 6 and 8. We got a lot of great photos of her and she looks really really cute. The only downside is they don’t print on site, so I have to wait till the 10th to get all my sheets of her pictures. On the plus side they burn the CD there and we got all the pictures plus all the enhancements they had done there and a release so we can print the pictures anywhere we want, which is nice. We were impressed with the service and all the great pictures. We plan to go back for Desmond’s 3 year pictures next month.

Here are a couple of teasers. I’ll post the rest of the ones I edited for the web tomorrow.

Here is a video from last week of Eloise taking a few steps at my parent’s lake house.

Last night at Mommom’s Eloise was playing with the cow puppet we have and she handed the puppet to my Mom and said, “Cow go moo.” So apparently my 10 1/2 month old is now speaking in sentences on occasion.

Later in the evening she took 3 steps when we could all see her do it too. She should be walking soon, maybe.
