Grandma helped Eloise and her cousins build wonderful tracks for the trains. Eloise is very fond of trains and talks about the fun she had with Grandma.

One of the first things Eloise wanted to do when she saw Grandma's backyard full of fluffy fresh snow was stick her tongue into it. This is the way she samples anything new... mommy's dinner usually, to see if it warrants further ingestion

The results of the taste test were positive

Chocolate has become on of Eloise's very clear and distinct words. This is the demise of a chocolate santa on Christmas Eve.

Here Eloise is making cookies with her cousins. Kyle and Cameron liked to get the flour on their fingers and make shapes in it. as for Eloise, did I mention her fondness for licking things?

Eloise was a bit bleary from a cold on Christmas. But Santa was good to her, there was a bottle waiting by her stocking.

It's that extra padding in the diaper... she can sit on anything and be happy
