14 months

Eleanor is such an easy going girl, which is a good trait to have at the moment since our house and schedule is chaotic. She has been playing amongst boxes and bubble wrap as we pack our house up for the big move. She has been eating boring (easy to make) meals sitting on one of our laps instead of in her high chair (which was put away for staging purposes). Most of her toys have been packed up...and she is dealing with exhausted over worked parents. What a trooper. Both Eleanor and Evelyn have been great through all of this change and have kept us grounded and focused on days that we might have otherwise come unglued.

At 14 months, Eleanor...

climbs stairs very quickly.

loves baby dolls.

finally says "mama!"
enjoys going down the slide with her sister at the playground.
flops down in frustration when something doesn't go her way.
thinks ice cream is the best.
drools constantly...maybe tooth #3 will arrive soon?
helps to pick out her shoes for the day.

Here she is playing her favorite game (climbing the stairs) with her favorite baby doll.
