Some New Firsts

Eleanor had her first "big girl" haircut last Saturday.  A week before she went to the hairdressers with Mommy and MarMar to check the place out for a "Girl's Day".  Throughout the week she would comb her hair and say, "Haircut. Big Girl Saturday!"  Ashley did an excellent job of trimming her hair and Eleanor was in fact a "big girl" and did so, so well sitting still and staying calm!

Big girl!

Sitting still

and staying calm.

 

Checking out the end result.

Marshall's first was eating rice cereal.  He has been grabbing at our plates and bowls lately so it was time he had his own!

Already a pro with a spoon

Yummy!

Maybe not?

I just want Daddy to feed me!

All done!

Gimme that cloth!  I'm ready to eat something else...

 

New Snpafish Photos

Usually I just hit a button on snapfish and its does this for me, but for some reason tonight I'm having to share the link myself.  What's up technology?!?!

Anyway, these pictures are mostly from September, but some are from April/May when Marshall first came home!  (Can you believe that was almost 5 months ago?)

Big Girl Bed, part 2

Here's some video of Eleanor showing us how to get in and out of her bed.

Big Girl Bed

Eleanor was promoted to a "big girl bed" this weekend.  First she found all her tools so she could help Daddy.

You can see she was a very good helper.  (Marshall helped by sleeping soundly and Mommy was helping by documenting the event.)

The rail was successfully removed (verdict is still out on how successful the switch has been, but I think she's coming round...) and we have one happy big girl!

First night: she looks comfy, eh?
