Snit for Snot

Yes, Elinor has been a cute little pain these days. We think she is doing some more teething, and with Caitlin working full-time (on a schedule that opposes mine) we don't spend too much time together as a family, so Elinor has all sorts of things to complain about... and complain she does! Loudly. On the good side, she still basically sleeps 10-11 hours through the night and has a nap everyday, so we feel blessed with that! She is getting lots of time with Grandma Ginny, as she watches her three times a week now. It still feels funny to have Elinor with someone aside from Caitlin or I (and my mother keeps getting Elinor those horrible, noise-making plastic toys that she loves so) but it seems to be working out well for everyone.



And on the foot front, walking is her primarily mode of transportation now. Very little crawling is to be seen, she only drops to the floor now when she wants to accentuate her complaining. Hopefully this next tooth/teeth will arrive soon and she can return to the pain free normalcy that we know and love. But she is getting quite good at walking and with her natural freedom from fear and love of people and dogs, we now have to keep an eye out for her just trotting off without telling us...



Speaking of that, on Sunday Elinor went to her first sporting event. A Powell's Books versus Willamette Week softball game. She didn't seem to really get the interest, since there were people and dogs to try and get to, but she kept me on my toes and it was nice to get out so I think we'll start going every week.
