Happy half birthday Eloise


She's always got a smile, she's sweet, patient and always wants to snuggle. Her bright blue stare captures our hearts and pulls us in, but makes us feel, more importantly, lucky to be ourselves. While she brings us just as much love and joy as her sister she couldn't be more different than our Dalia.

Eloise is clearly saying mamamama when she wants me and is practicing her da. I think she weighs about 16 pounds and just started sitting at the table with us. She couldn't be happier about this. She likes sweet potato, apple and avocado and it seems she'll have her sister's appetite. While she doesn't sleep as well as before, she's so easy to settle and can even settle herself (honestly did not believe that was possible).

I am still carrying her around mostly in the Ergo instead of putting her in the stroller, and can't seem to believe she doesn't fit in her 3 month clothes anymore. We're so excited about who she is becoming, but we're savoring every last bit of her babyhood.

So happy half birthday, Lovely Eloise. You've made us feel complete. We love you so much.
