Ellie's first steps!

Little Miss Eleanor has taken her first tentative steps this morning! She is now fifteen months and three days old. We didn't catch the very first steps on video, but she took two more moments later, so we've got a video to share with you. Enjoy!

Happy first birthday, Eleanor!

Happy first birthday to our wonderful Eleanor! She made us a family of four one year ago today and was a perfect birthday present for her big sister who turned four the day after Ellie's birth! Here's a photo review of Ellie's first year:

 Little Miss Ellie loves books!

 She loves to stand with support from furniture and we expect her to start walking within the next couple of months. The next photo shows Ellie in her new birthday dress, I'm continuing the ugly birthday dress tradition that I started with Sophia.

 Ellie loves to be next to her big sister.

Can you believe I'm one already?

Lots of snoozing going on

I think newborns are a natural sedative. They should be prescribed if you're having trouble sleeping. Ahh...
