Hand and Knee Crawling

September 25th, 2009

Eloise is now officially hand and knee crawling rather then leap frog crawling. The leap frog crawl was so cute, I’m going to miss it! She is really fast on her hands and knees though!

Chocolate Milk in a container

September 24th, 2009

The other day Desmond found a container in the dining room, I had taken it out so he could pour paints in it to paint, and decided to pour his chocolate milk into it instead and drink from it. I figured it was entertaining him and keeping him quiet and he wasn’t making a big mess, so I let him do it. He liked drinking his milk from the container.

Pulling Up

September 24th, 2009

Eloise has been able to pull up for a few weeks now. I caught some pictures of her pulling up on the chair rather then a lower cushion though, on September 8th, and it was neat, I knew she could pull up to stand at the time, but I didn’t realize she could do it using a chair, rather then something lower and more stable.

Two of my favorite recent pictures of the small ones

September 23rd, 2009

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.

Scottish Action Figure

September 23rd, 2009

When we went to RenFest we got Eloise a doll, Desmond really liked it so we got him one too. The lady selling them mentioned they called them Scottish Action Figures for the boys. The name just amused Dan and me, so we have been calling Eloise’s Scottish Action Figure or Scottish Action Man. So here she is playing with her Scottish Action Figure.

On the computer

September 23rd, 2009

Two weeks or so, Dan got home from work and moved his laptop to the floor so he could play with the laptop and Eloise at the same time. Eloise had other ideas and decided to play with the laptop instead!
