I love my boots!

Eloise is so in love with shoes and boots that she often wears them to bed at night and for naps lately. This picture is just after she woke up and had her diaper changed, but she refused to a. take her pjs off and get dressed and b. put her pjs back on the bottom half. Just lovely, isn't she?

Happy Easter!

We had a wonderful Easter celebration! After church, we went to Grandma and Pop's house with the rest of my family for hunting eggs, playing in the really warm sunshine, eating dinner and bunny cake.

5 1/2 weeks!

We had to sing the "clean up" song to get Eloise to pick up the eggs and put them in her basket. She finally caught on after her 4th egg hunt.

it's been a slow adjustment...

So far, Eloise only likes to say, "baby" and "gargo" when she hears Margo squeaking or crying and she likes to point our her nose and tete (head in french). That's the extent of it! Eloise gave us a swift "no no" and jumped off the couch when we tried to place Margot on her lap for a photo. However, the past couple of days Eloise has started playing the big sister roll a bit more.

Quite the little Frenchie

She loves wearing my scarf and would keep it on all day if we let her.

Eloise often walks around the house with various toys (not just babydolls) on her shoulder, patting them.
