Eight Months

Eleanor turned eight months old on April 5th!

She's not yet crawling, but she's always on the move and rolling all over the place! We're sure she'll be getting into everything and causing trouble in no time. She babbles "dada dada" frequently (she still needs to work on those M's!) and she has even started clapping her hands!

Our big excitement this month was traveling to Seattle to meet her new cousin, Elijah, and see her Auntie Charity and Uncle Paul! It was a little terrifying traveling with her by myself, and yes she cried on the plane, but it wasn't so bad and we made it there and back in one piece. Heck, she even napped on the plane ride home and I got to read a book for the first time in a very long time!

We spent a week in Seattle and had a great time. Most days we hung out with Auntie and Elijah, did some walking around Ballard, ate some good food, played with Charlie, visited with Charity's friends, and my friend Melany came up from Portland to meet the babies!

Grandma's trip to see Charity and Elijah overlapped with ours so she could get some quality time in with her grand babies!

Eleanor and I flew home on Easter morning, but that didn't stop us from having a little Easter photo shoot at a park the day before! Here are some of my favorites.

Here are a few more pictures from this month, plus a video of Eleanor at eight months.
