Eleanor is 22 months old today! We've noticed that her vocabulary is increasing daily and she seems to communicate very well by just one word requests or comments.
I often find her in her room after having made quite a mess! She likes to pull out all things that are any way related to taking care of babies, i.e. diapers! I'll also find her trying to put diapers or pajamas on herself - shoes are a favorite too.
This is how we most often find her in her room - reading. She loves this book that we refer to as "the baby book." It's an Eloise Wilkin collection and there are quite a few stories about babies and the illustrations are very real looking. It's very old fashioned though as many of the images are 50's style - the man going to work and the mom at home with the apron by the stove!! I don't think she'll be seeing too many of those images in real life!Here's a video of her "reading."
We can't believe that her 2nd birthday will soon be here!! It's a precious time in Eleanor's development and we're really enjoying watching our "sponge!" :)

Happy 22 months, Eleanor! I can't believe you're almost 2 either! Such fun times!:)
Good to see you tonight, Brynn! :) Looking forward to this week!
Such a beauty -- and so grown up!
El likes putting on shoes? What a shock! There must be some Ebeling genes in there somewhere.
All I can say is that if she loves babies this much, you must have another! My Eleanor would rather have played with bunnies (:
We love seeing her "read" and "mother" her baby. Happy 22 months, dear Eleanor! Gramma K. and Great-Auntie Jan
We are looking forward to your visit. I hope Eleanor likes nature walks we have some neat things to see. LA
