Big Girl Lunch

There was nothing particularly special about Eleanor's lunch today. But, I just happen to be in the kitchen cleaning up when I looked over and thought, "Gosh, she's such a big girl now." I think Michael and I have been reflecting a lot on Eleanor lately because we know that we'll have a newborn in the house soon - which is a thrilling and scary thought all at the same time! Anyway, here is Eleanor eating her turkey & cheese sandwich, pineapple & some pretzels. She also likes her "movie milk" which is just milk from McDonald's that I refill for a couple of days. She thinks she getting a special treat and I find that she consumes more milk than with her regular sippy cup.

She's looking at the TV because I let her watch "How the Grinch Stole Christmas."

She actually smiles & "poses" for me now when asked. It's still not perfect, but she's getting the idea that I want to take a picture of her.

Hope everyone has a wonderful week! Also, Michael and I are struggling (somewhat) to come up with another girl name that we like. We're gladly taking suggestions! :)
