Rolling, rolling, rolling

Eloise is literally on a roll. She figured out how to be mobile and is exploring new places. Well, not really "new" but new to her. She's obviously been in the hallway outside of her room numerous times, but last week was the first time she rolled out the bedroom door and into the hallway. It's fun to think about how new things still are for her.

I'm not sure how she maneuvered under this chair!



It's been raining a lot recently so we've become more creative for playtime at home. Eloise is practicing her standing skills amongst some cushions. She loves this independence!


I realize I say this practically every post, but her legs are getting so strong! She is really good at holding herself up. This little video shows some of it (but not her best because that happened in the 10 minutes BEFORE I pulled out the camera) and it's also a little of her goofy laugh. It's confirmed, there is snorting in the laugh and it happens a lot. It's really darn cute for now but perhaps later on we'll work on encouraging the full out laugh versus the snort :)

Love how Parker is too cool for school.

Lately, Tom and I haven't been "getting ready" for a night out since the rare free nights we have are pretty casual. The other weekend we were able to break that cycle since we had a wedding to attend. Tom dresses very nicely for work every day but I, on the other hand, had to reach way deep into the closet for something a bit dressier than normal. We had a fun time at the Maruk wedding but realized about mid-way through that if we wanted to have a really fun time, then we should have gotten a babysitter for the next morning.


We have a busy week leading up to my first weekend away in a loooooooooooong time.
