Happy Eleanor Gracie playing with Grandpa
Practicing her downward dog!

Eleanor is now 8 months old! She is still her happy, smiling self who is still not the perfect sleeper, but we have made MUCH progress! She now wakes up at about 5am, wants a bottle and then will fall back to sleep for about another hour/hour and a half. She has been rocking back and forth on her hands and knees trying to crawl for a little over 2 weeks. She is really determined and has has been getting pretty frustrated that she has not taken off yet.  She especially wants to try to get to where Caroline is playing. She has also started babbling more, too. Instead of just say, "ahhhh" she now says, "dadadada", "babababa", and dehdehdehdeh". Her favorite foods are pureed peas and butternut squash. She is not a big fan of many of the fruits, but does like the oatmeal cereal, a lot better than the rice cereal. Our little sunshine is also continuing to teeth. It has been a long road waiting for this tooth to break through! Hopefully, it will pass soon!
