Dear Eleanor,
You are just so so so much fun. I can't help but smile whenever I think of you these days! The way you greet everyone with a big "HIIIIiiii" and the Tony Soprano "Oh!". The way you are ALWAYS grinning and literally SCREAMING with pure joy, eyes closed and head thrown back, just laughing your head off. Watching you teeter around is the cutest. Your walking is improving each day, and now I think it is your preferred mode of transportation. Time to get you some shoes!
Your favorite foods seem to be pretzel sticks, chicken/meat in general, anything with lots of FLAVOR, sweet potatoes, salmon, and fruits like grapes and clementines. Oh and I can't forget the PBJs. You are a great eater, and hopefully you continue to love good food.
Your love to play with your Sesame Street kitchen and you still love pushing around your walker. Nothing can top pushing the buttons on the DVD player, speaker, XBOX, cable box, and Wii, though, as your favorite past time.
Your hair is a crazy curly mullet and I love it. I have not given you a haircut yet! You still have six teeth, but one more on the bottom is about to come in.
I am so proud of your confidence and your love of other people. You have complete trust that everyone just loves you and that you are THE BEST! You have scared two other little babies with your aggressive love (I am kind of proud of this, too). On our plane rides, you would stand up on your seat and say "HIIIiii" to all of the people sitting around us - especially the little baby on the way to Florida! You are a joy to me always.
I try to only focus on all of the wonderful (frequently new) things that you do and learn daily, and do my best to keep the sad thoughts away. The thoughts of your babyhood almost coming to an end, and your toddlerhood gearing up in full force! I will ALWAYS love just snuggling with you and taking care of you. I could never have enough of you napping in my arms. As of now, you still humor me with this. Every night, before bed, I spend as much time as possible with you laying on my chest, resting your little head on me and talking to me with your sweet coos.
There is so much more fun to come, though! You are giving me laugh lines because you make me smile soooo much.
Love,
Mama
