Preparing to be a big sister

Tonight Brian and I were highly entertained by Eleanor reading a book to Marley. It was so sweet. Eleanor kept getting frustrated, though, because Marley wouldn't hold still and look at the pictures. It made me realize how sweet she's going to be as a big sister. Just a few more weeks and she'll be able to read to her baby brother. :)

Warm fall day

As soon as I type this, we'll be waking up Eleanor from her nap...scary, I know. We're going to head to the park to enjoy the beautiful weather, play in the leaves, and hopefully get some cute pics!

Quick update

I'm so embarrassed that I haven't posted in months. My new goal is to do at least a post a week, if not more.

The biggest news is that Eleanor is going to be a big sister! Her baby brother will be arriving sometime by mid-January, and we all could not be more excited! She talks about baby brother, and even "hits baby brother" in her words when she lightly hits my belly. Yikes! Hopefully it isn't really foreshadowing of what is to come. Although she talks about baby brother and knows where he is, I can't imagine she has any idea what's coming.

Eleanor has become quite the talker lately. There isn't anything she can't and won't say. Luckily there isn't much that Brian and I say that shouldn't be repeated, but we still have to watch what we say sometimes.

Some of her favorite things right now are baby dolls (the littler the better), dinosaurs, Dora, Diego, Little Einsteins, the Toy Story movies, chalk, soccer, and playing with her friends.

More to come soon...I promise.
