Eloise is working on her complex strategy skills. Here she has found a way to reach the Legos. We are happy she hasn't yet tried to climb over the couch and into the corner.

For the past month naps have been more common. We are very grateful (Jan 27)

Eloise likes blankets to drag around the house and she likes her cape from Grandma

Eloise is lugging around a 5 lb weight from her dad's excercise equipment. She likes to wear her helmet, because it means we will get her tricycle out. She can't quite reach the pedals, but she likes trying. It protects her when she tries walking through walls too.

We visited with Aunt Becca while she was out our way for a conference. We all enjoyed an afternoon on the beach. Eloise loves her sand toys, we just had to make sure she was positioned so the sand didn't blow in her face when she dumped it on her head.
