My dear Elanor,
Today, you are two years old!
I typed that and immediately got a little teary. I can’t believe it’s been two whole years since you were born and became a part of our family. What a wild and wonderful two years it’s been!
There are not words to describe the depth of my love for [...]
I’ve got more posts coming up this week and next, including one about my recent creative and domestic endeavors, one about my current cooking rut (oh, it’s BAD), and one about the randomness that goes on around our house on a daily basis. So stay tuned!
I’ve been writing this letter for about a week now, [...]
A quick note to say that Brett’s French press post is written and awaiting my editing, so I hope to have it up within a week or so. Also, thanks to Jenn and Sara for de-lurking to comment on my last post! Jenn, I totally remember you and have seen your blog before, through Bree’s, [...]
Oh, my girl,
You are a whole year old! It seems like you’ve been with us forever, and yet it seems like just yesterday you were born.
You are such a little person now. I love seeing your personality — even when it manifests itself in willfullness and tantrums — emerging.
This past month has been full of [...]
Dear Elanor,
Today you are 11 months old! You have changed so dramatically in the past few weeks; your development has just exploded lately. I’m not even sure where to start.
You are not walking without support, although we are thinking more and more now that it’s coming any day. You will push various items around the [...]
Dear Elanor,
Today you are ten months old, and every day it seems you are more a toddler rather than a baby.
You are pulling up on everything, and cruising all over the house. Papa and I are waiting with bated breath for you to take your first steps. It’s coming, soon. You crawl like a pro; [...]
The results are in!
At her appointment on Friday, Elanor measured thusly:
28 inches long23 pounds, one ounce
Okay, if I’d thought this out better, I would have just had people guess on her size, because the chances are slim-to-none that anyone would guess both right on.
And, of course, no one did, so I guess I will have [...]
This is almost a week late, but better late than never, I guess. It’s been a busy and kind of crazy couple of weeks for us; I was sick again (ugh) and then the way life has gone lately, I haven’t had much spare time to sit down and write anything coherent. This is the [...]
Dear Elanor,
Today you are six months old — a whole half-year!
I was just looking back at the last monthly letter I wrote, and was confronted with a picture of you on our trip to Denver. You were so little, and despite how I thought you were so big, you were still such a little baby [...]
Sorry this is a few days late. I had it written but have had no time to post. Life’s a little chaotic with me being back at work; we’re in the midst of finding some balance but haven’t gotten there quite yet.
Sometime later this week, I’ll be posting the exciting news I referenced in a [...]
