Baby dolls

Maddy's and Paige's Christmas dolls.  Eleanor provided for scale.

First Best Buy trip

William's been to Best Buy a few times, but he was too young to understand the pull it will have on his boy soul. We made a Saturday morning of his first trip and ate at Chik-fil-a beforehand and played on the playground a little bit before walking over to the store. I was a little bit shocked by how much he loved the place. We weren't even in the TV or video game section, and he was still gaga over the rows of boxes of Apple products, and he loved the headphone display. They were playing his favorite song - The Blackeyed Peas "Boom Boom Pow."

Surprise!

The iPhone camera flash is a little surprising to a two-month old. Who knew?

Two months old

Eleanor made two months today. We celebrated by visiting the pediatrician and getting three shots in her thighs. Sorry, baby! She weighs 10 pound 11 ounces, and my back thanks her for not being as beefy as William was at this age.
William grows daily in his role as big brother, and takes his job seriously. Every morning, he asks, "Mama, how's baby doin'?"
"She's doing great, William."
"Dat's great, Mama!"

Oh, happy day!

Eleanor now smiles during naps, in response to funny sounds (Papa Bob's seem to be her favorite), and when she sees a smile that tickles her fancy.

"Watching" football

Sunday football used to be Nang watching and me sleeping on the sofa. Someone has taken my place...
