What a Year....2009

Here it is...the last day of 2009. I'm always kinda sad when this day rolls around every year. I look back on what has happened in my life over the past year, and wish I could relive some of those moments. 2009 has brought us the best gift of all, our baby girl...who's quickly growing into a little girl. I'm planning her 1st birthday party already, and tears come to my eyes thinking about fast she's grown. I wish I could stop time....and keep her little forever. I have so many wonderful memories of this year and my life couldn't be any fuller than it is right now. We are so lucky to have our health, a home to keep us safe, and a beautiful daughter who makes us laugh hysterically :) 2009 you've been good to us! Can't wait to find out what life will be like in 2010. Happy New Year Everyone!!

We had a Merry 1st Christmas!

What a great Christmas this year! Eleanor got lots of cool new toys which she has been playing nonstop with :) And she also learned a little something new.....she stood by herself. She's getting too big! Judging by this recent development, we're thinking she'll probably be walking by her first birthday. Santa was very good to this little girl. And now Mommy & Daddy have to find room to put all the great new toys....giant ball pit....riding pony....and stuffed puppy. It's all good. Our house looks like a child lives here...and that's quite alright by me :)

9 months old & SNOW!

Her 9 month appt was great on Thursday. She's following her growth curve and is still in the 75-90th percentile for weight, length and head circumference. She's 29 inches long!! No wonder none of her pants fit :) We'll be getting some new clothes soon. She's quickly outgrowing everything we got this fall. It's so funny to think about where we were at this time last year. About to take our first birth class...and look at us know. We're old Pros :) Hahaha....not really...we just think we are :) Anywhooo....here's the latest video of her photos from this past month. I chose this Christmas song because I really "get" it this year. It's called Christmas Through Your Eyes by Gloria Estefan. Christmas means so much more to me this year, and I'm enjoying reliving my childhood with her and starting family traditions with her. Ones that she'll always remember like so many of the ones I have :) Merry Christmas!!

Oh...and it snowed here today. A. LOT. We're looking at almost 20 inches on the ground. Yippeee!! Pics of her playing in it tomorrow :)

Tickle me Eleanor :)

Here's some cute video of her saying what WE think is "tickle tickle tickle." We also think she's a genius baby...but I guess we're a little biased :) Enjoy!
