ONE!!!

As of one year and one day old, Eleanor had the following statistics:


Weight: 17lbs 15 ounces (5-10%)
Height: 28 inches (10-25%)

Head Circumference: 43cm (5-10%)


She's a bit on the smaller side but very healthy. She got a clean bill of health from our pediatrician who thinks Eleanor is doing and looking great. Her birthday was a fun day, and we celebrated with family on Saturday. Here are the pictures...


First thing in the morning on her big day - my happy girl!

So excited to have us all there.

In her birthday tutu and "I'm the birthday girl" shirt.

We had lunch at Eleanor's favorite restaurant in town, Prasino.

Sitting with Grandma after she got a little freaked out by the candle on her cake.

My mom gave her this Leap Frog birthday cake - pretty cute, but Ethan has already claimed it.
It's my birthday!

Opening a present from us - the Melissa and Doug pantry food for her new kitchen.

I made bolognese sauce with orrechiette for her birthday dinner - one of her favorites, if you couldn't tell.

And she had a cupcake for dessert. She got a bit scared of the candle again, but once she calmed down, she enjoyed the cake.

Here's Ethan on Friday, the day of his royal feast at school. They were supposed to dress up, and since I don't have any kind of knight or king costume, I just put him in his Christmas outfit. He looked a little silly at our pediatrician's visit later. :)

Ready for her party.

I loved this dress, but the picture doesn't do it justice.

My mom made this great cupcake creation to match my flower theme.

"Walkin'"
Here are some of the decorations I put up in the kitchen.
And here is the flower garland in the living from...and some family.
I am in love with this banner. Not sure when I'll take it down.

Yeehaw
See ya!
Aunt Courtney and baby Emme, who's birthday is this week!
Tables in the basement, which is oh so nice to have for parties now.

Hangin' with Aunt SandyBest family pic we have.
Cake time. Still not a fan of candles but did better with the cupcake this day. No big show, though, with face full of cake and such. :(
Playing with cousin Emily.
This is my favorite picture from the day. Baby Emily was crying and Eleanor started fake crying right when I snapped this picture. Pretty realistic, huh?
Morning after party fun. Eleanor goes bananas for these balloons.
We had dinner at our good friends' house Sunday night, as we often do. The babies had a chance to catch up.
Best Buds - When we arrived and Derek saw Ethan in this shirt, he ran upstairs to put his on.
