Tom, Jess & Eloise: Baby Photo Face Off #2

The latest comparison, Eloise versus Mom at 3 months old. I keep hearing that she looks like me and so far I think she still does. This is much to Tom's dismay as he really wants Eloise to look like him (I'm not currently taking this as an insult, he married me so I'm assuming he likes the way I look and that it is more of a dad/daughter thing, right honey???). She still might end up looking like Tom as she gets older...

Eloise was able to spend some time with her great grandma sylvia who recently turned 90 and is one special lady. We were trying to figure out what # great grandchild Eloise is and I think we came up with #14 - wow!

I have a hunch that Eloise might be an early talker. She has been so vocal since only a month or so old. Now I can't even talk while feeding her. If I do she stops to look at me and tries to have a conversation! It's extremely adorable but makes the feeding process even more of a process. This is one of the photos from her 3 month old group I took the other week, but it's so funny to me because she is trying to have a convo with the teddy bear.

I discovered a new way to make tummy time enjoyable but it involves me making a fool of myself. Basically I play a baby tunes cd, sing along to the songs in a very out of tune way and do really crazy dance moves that don't even fall into the category of "dance" but I'm not sure how else to describe them. All of this foolishness makes Eloise smile and laugh and forget that she's in the dreaded tummy time position. Anything for the little one! I couldn't really dance around because I had to hold the camera somewhat steady but you can listen to my really bad singing and see Ellie's reaction.

Eloise is excited about her first Valentine's day. Of course Abuela and Grandpa had to give her some gifts to celebrate. Her favorite? A new little book called "mama do you love me". A few more books under her belt and she'll be ready to join book club (we are a very intense group).
