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.

The Dress

Eleanor has received so many wonderful gifts to celebrate her entrance into this world. Cindy Sager, my second mother, made this dress and bonnet for Eleanor. The pictures are in reverse order, as you can probably imagine. She didn't love the bonnet:)

First Sunday visiting the nursery

We recently joined Canterbury Methodist Church, and Eleanor visited the church nursery for the first time last Sunday. She was just getting too loud for the service. Bob and I will begin teaching 1st grade Sunday School in a few Sundays. Should be interesting!!!!

Ok, so I have not been so good with this blog thing.  But I am going to get better!  Bob bought me a Mac for my birthday, so I have no excuses!!!!

On to what's important....Eleanor!!!!  What a cute baby, who is quite fussy.  It's hard to imagine how much you will love your child before she arrives.  Now we understand.  Live has changed drastically.  No more Blue Monkey jokes from my husband.  All we want to do is sleep on the weekends, and of course hang out with our new daughter.  We are a happy family.
