Eleven Month Eloise

The problem with not recording life as it happens is that it seems you almost instantly forget it.  It's been nearly six months since I took these "Eleven Month Photos" and I've already forgotten what eleven month Eloise was like.  She didn't walk til 14 months, but I'm sure she was already standing and cruising.  Probably already babbling too.... and that certainly hasn't stopped.  One thing is for sure.  She was happy happy happy and full of tons of personality.  She is our joy.

Busy-Bug In Action

Last weekend Clara took five or six steps on her own!  Several times!  And since then we've gotten three or four.  So, I've kept the video camera nearby and have been trying desperately to catch it on film all week long to share with you.  Of course, every time I press "record" she stops.  So, instead I have a lot of random videos of Clara doing what Clara does all day long.  Take a look and you'll see why we call her "busy-bug."

This one is long, but my FAVORITE part is at the end.  So, hang in there!

We'll keep trying to get video of our girl taking wobbly steps on her own!
