Well Eleanor sits. At this point she CAN stay upright for a long period of time...but it doesn't always happen that way! She is much too busy checking out the world around her to keep her attention focused on staying balanced. She does brace herself with her arms or a toy but can sit up without any support. For now we'll keep the padding and pillows close by!
Things are busy and fun in our house. Jason is recovering well from his surgery and anxiously awaiting a pair of new glasses with the correct prescription (he has to wait 6 weeks while the vision stabilizes). His last day at IBM was on Friday and he has this week off. Ellie will have some extra daddy time and he'll have a little break before he starts his new job next Monday.
We've gone to "Baby Time" at the library two weeks in a row and Ellie loves it! "Zoom, zoom, zoom we're going to the moon..." We are learning all of the songs and rhymes and having fun seeing all the other babies. After the organized session many people stay and let the babies play (or stare at each other :) on the carpet. We're trying to find more opportunities for Ellie to see other babies since she doesn't go to daycare. It is difficult to find fun things like this on the weekend and it is great that it is free!
Eleanor is super fun. Her latest trick is spitting. Yes....spitting. It is kind of unfortunate but she finds it very amusing and will spit for many minutes at a time. She soaks herself and anyone who is holding her. It is pretty gross. We're hoping she grows out of it by her teenage years! Grandma Sue has been working on "How big is the baby? Soooo big!" and she is actually getting it. After about 3 demonstrations she stretches her arms out. She so far hasn't gotten them up above her head but it is adorable even to the sides. We have to get a video.
