Eleanor’s first egg sandwich, and she’s eating it as a sandwich! (as opposed to grilled cheese, where she eats via later- pinching off the top layer of bread, followed by pinching and eating all the cheese off, then…)
“Footsie pajamas!” (her absolute favorite)
Des giving it a spin during the world’s longest game of Chutes & Ladders

“IT SNOW!”
Eleanor getting all bundled up for her first time playing in the snow as a toddler
The family that shovels together…
“COLD!” -Ella, reporting on scene that the snow is also bright
It was enough snow for short legs to need an extra hand
After a while she settle into her own little routine of effectively walking laps around the front yard through the snow. Mom and dad aren’t sure quite what’s going on, but she certainly had a mission in mind
Meanwhile Des is more than busy redistributing snow around the yard
Toddling in a Winter Wonderland
After a few laps with dad, she’s decided to go once solo…
Ella gets in on the clearing snow action
Yes, he’s shoveling the front yard. And clearly making a “snow mountain”
