Uncle Mac's last day

On Uncle Mac's last day on our block, William got in a little time in his truck bed pretending to be a manly man. I don't really know what to point out first in this picture because there is so much odd here. 

Nang's hat looks a tad...small? Eleanor's overdressed in her fancy smocked bib, and William's rocking his Vietnam flip flops like any good Texas cowboy. 

What's El doing this week?

Eleanor's mobile. She's rolling across rooms to get where she wants, and she cannot be stopped. She simply goes around, under, or through any obstacle in her desired path. She's getting up on all fours swiftly and easily, and rocking back and forth getting ready to crawl and really wreak some havoc around here. She also crawfishes, and I find her stuck under stools and chairs either completely proud of herself and babbling away about her accomplishment or crying her eyes out because she cannot get where she wants to go. 

Brother Sister

Sometimes I walk in on something that I wish would last longer.  William is helping Eleanor learn to work her wrist rattles. 

First time in shorts

Eleanor rocked her first day in shorts by posing like a swimsuit model...over and over. 

Big girl stroller

Mimi discovered that Eleanor can handle the big girl stroller. She looks like she's thoroughly enjoying herself, yes?

First haircut

I gave El her first haircut, and it involved darting my hand around with scissors to take a few awkward snips. This was a second attempt at straightening out the previous chops. Hopefully this will eliminate the greasy, forehead plastered bangs that have been happening by he afternoon.

What's Eleanor doing now?

She's crawfishing like a pro and getting stuck under everything. Go, Eleanor, go!
