Keep Away

Here is a fun little game that Eleanor and Reggie like to play with his kong. (She kept this up for 10 minutes!)

9 Months

9 months brought around ear infection number three (yay). We were actually relieved that it was only an ear infection because she was sent home from daycare for what they thought was pink eye. Here are the stats for 9 months:

Head - 17.75 in. (82%)

Weight - 21lb. 14 oz. (93%)

Height - 28.5 in. (82%)

She is crawling backwards everywhere...no officially crawling forward (she does a weird half-crawling motion to move forward). She loves to eat and is eating just about everything we eat and prefers to feed herself (she likes to swat at the spoon when we try to feed her, which results in food flying everywhere). Reggie has discovered a new spot in the house...directly under the high chair and gladly eats anything that falls his way. Here he is after some extra high-chair food:



Eleanor also celebrated St. Patrick's Day -- she's a big fan:

8 Months

Somewhere between 7 and 8 months, Eleanor's second tooth came in. She now has two bottom teeth, and she loves to bite on everything! She pulled up during the same time and that is pretty much all she wants to do ALL the time. She also started scooting around this month -- not crawling yet -- but definitely not stationary.

Her monthly pictures crack me up -- here was the sequence during our little photo shoot:





















She is a little dare devil and loves being thrown around:
