Happy Birthday Post

Eleanor is proud to say that she can put her socks on her hands.

Eleanor wanted to wish Grammy and Uncle Paul Happy Birthday! We're a little late in doing so, but we hope the following pictures of Eleanor eating snow will make up for it.

Daddy introduces Eleanor to her first taste of freshly fallen snow.

 'Well, this is rather good,' thinks Eleanor.

 Eleanor eats more snow.

 Eleanor didn't want to walk in the snow or play with it, she just wanted to eat it.

 Eleanor ate snow until it was time to come in. 

 Eleanor flirts with the camera.

Eleanor and her chunky legs pick out books.

Eleanor's First Haircut

 Before

Eleanor's hair was growing and growing, everywhere but the sides of her head. She had an impressive baby mullet, so we decided to give her a new 'do.' Mommy cut her hair while daddy watched and fretted. All went well except that it got a little shorter than we intended...

During

 And during... And how did we get a toddler to stay still...? ELMO DVD!

After

 She's warming up to it!

Eleanor loves her new hair, and decided to paint about it.

 "Art," says Eleanor.

The Big Party

Things got really wild last night for Daddy's birthday party. We ate popcorn and watched Toy Story 3 with crazy hats on our heads. THEN, we ate dinner while we watched the movie, and we even had CAKE! Then we all ran around throwing balloons way past bedtime. Eleanor will be talking about this one for a long time.

 Eleanor and I made the hats and placemats just for Daddy!

 And we had BALLOOOONS (have we mentioned that??)!

 Eleanor helps open gifts (fashionably dressed as Woody)

 Eleanor gave daddy "art."

 CAKE! Eleanor ate all the frosting off of her piece and didn't touch the cake.

 'Heavenly' thinks Eleanor... Both Daddy and Eleanor were in a state of Nirvana by the end of the night.

. Last night as she was going to bed we talked about the day to come. She asked "Dvd? Cake? Popcorn?" 

Happy Birthday Daddy!!

We're so lucky to have you in our lives!!!!
