November

I appologize, I have not been very good on updating lately. We have been busy working and shopping for christmas and enjoying our toddler. Eleanor is very much a toddler now... she has a new dance move where she stomps one foot and spins around. I tried to post a video but it wasn't working for me. she is "talking" a lot. not much is understandable though. She loves to be silly and try to make you laugh. She is just a riot and so much fun!

wednesday before thanksgiving, Eleanor came down with strep but we got her in and got antibiotics right away so she was back to normal pretty fast. Seth and Eleanor went to his aunt and uncle's house for Thanksgiving dinner, I had to work, so it didn't feel much like a holiday to me. but saturday, my dad and Joanie and my sister's family came to our house and we celebrated an early Christmas. so that was a lot of fun.

"Hi"

Eleanor has learned a new word. and we are hearing a lot of it these days. she says "Hi" when you walk in her room in the morning, when she sees you, when she wants something, to get your attention and for just about any other reason you can think of! it sure is cute though!

for Halloween, Eleanor was a dragon. we just went out to Seth's parents' house and then she needed a nap and didn't want to be in her costume anymore and then Seth had to work so we just stayed home and passed out candy. the next day we dressed her up one more time and brought her to Seth's grandparents house.

For Seth's birthday, we went out to Country Kitchen and Eleanor was very well behaved. She was delighted with the slap hand, crayons and balloon.
