Busy, busy, busy

There is only one word for living with a one year old! Busy!

Eleanor is so busy. So far walking is constrained to the limits of holding on to a finger or couch/table/baby gate/wall/(insert item here) but she can get around! We had to take down her "office" yesterday because she is totally done with being enclosed in a little area! She would pull herself up shake the gate and demand out. So we have taken down the gates and put her toys in baskets on the diaper table shelves. We moved her new garden activity center over to the other side of the room. The coffee table has a couple of book and toy bins as well as her drum full of musical instruments.

Elle's favorite activities this week: taking her animal magnets off of the fridge (Thanks Mike, Jesse, and Vera!!!) and putting them back on. When she gets them to stick she says one of her new words Yeeaay! and often claps.

It is too cute. Don't you think? She is also loving "discovering" toys in boxes. We can put anything into any box and it keeps her entertained for a good long while. She finds the toy, hides the toy, finds the toy, hides it, lets us find it, etc. So fun!

Sorry for the mass upload of posts tonight...I've had a bunch almost done that needed to be posted so happy to finally get it done. I also updated the links to the pictures on the upper left hand corner so you can check out life as a one year old!
