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.

Here's what we've been up to lately

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

The Big Sis

The proud big sister is doing great! Eloise's first trip to see Margot was a little rocky, but the next day went MUCH smoother. Her Auntie Dawn gave her a new baby doll with all the needed babydoll gear including handmade bedding. Grandma says that Eloise is becoming quite the little 'mommy' and playing with the baby much of the day. She's even asking grandma to put bibs on the baby and then putting her in her own high chair. Thanks so much Dawn and Grandma!






Since Eloise is so into hats, she and grandma made this special farm animal hat. What a cutie!

Welcome Margot!
