Candid Eleanor

Let's just say Eleanor likes to "dress up".....

Patti-Cake

Please ignore the crazy voice on the video.....in my childhood, this is how we sang Patti-Cake....I know the real version now:)

Where's the TP?

We are counting down the days until she can actually use the the toilet.......

Christmas with ALL the Fam....

Obviously, I have an extended family, and love all of them very much. Here's a sneak of all of our Christmas celebrations.

O Christmas Tree!

Shopping for a Christmas tree was such an adventure for Eleanor. She loved to feel every branch of every tree.

Thankful to Be in NYC

The Dabals traveled to NYC and NJ during Thanksgiving to visit Bob's family. Eleanor had so many fun experiences during this trip and met lots of her family for the first time.

Eleanor's first subway ride...she lost one of those socks during the ride.

Visit at Poppy's

Eleanor and her Poppy on the front porch during a visit. They both look quite content.

Eleanor's First Halloween

Eleanor went trick-or-treating as a little cow for Halloween. She looked just like the Chick-fil-a cows.....with a pink bow.

Eleanor eats Carrots!

Eleanor had her first carrots in October. She likes them....now.

Eleanor at the Pumpkin Patch

Eleanor visited the pumpkin patch this October and enjoyed picking out her very own pumpkin.

Roll Tide

Such a special picture for me. Our family ALL wearing Bama gear. It doesn't get much better than this:)

Boy Meets Girl

Well, Eleanor met her first potential husband.....You Never Know!!!!!

FIrst Rice Cereal

Contrary to all the peer pressure we received to give Eleanor rice cereal, this is her FIRST taste of the yummy paste. She loves this stuff, in her tummy and all over her clothes.

Jeanna's house

Eleanor was SOOO excited to see Jeanna's apartment!!!

Eleanor with her maternal great-grandparents, Nanny Jo and Papa Jerry. How sweet!!!!

Visit from CLT

Jenna, Chris, and Buddy came to visit the Dabals and we had a blast. Buddy loved Eleanor, and Eleanor was quite interested in Buddy. Maybe Daddy will decide to get Eleanor a dog:)

Play Time

Now that Eleanor can actually fit in her excer-saucer, she loves to play! This was a fabulous gift from the Laws (Kim and John) who are expecting Baby Girl Law in November.

Is this the Gerber Baby????

Obviously not, but she sure is cute here. Bob took this picture during her "nighttime routine". She is always happy after her bath.

TV

We have learned that Eleanor loves TV.......and we also have learned that if you have the TV on......Eleanor is going to break her neck to watch whatever is on.

So tired.....

Bob has been working ridiculous hours, and this is a great example of how he feels.......Eleanor is always willing to cuddle up with Mom or Dad for a nap.
