Elinor's First First Birthday Party in Las Vegas

Round and Around

 

Elinor loves to play wherever she is.

Breaking News

Today was a big day for Elinor. She went to nursery! What?! You ask. Well here's how it happens. The second counselor in the Primary Presidency is over nursery and we got to know her well during our stint in nursery. She was playing with Elinor while I went to the bathroom to throw up. I ended up going home and she told me to leave Elinor (Brad was subbing in Primary). She decided to put Elinor in nursery because Elinor absolutely LOVES playing in there. (She asked Brad if it was OK). Apparently Elinor did great! When Brad got her after she had little teary eyes, but she just got a little sad at the very end. Elinor already has the perfect personality for nursery. She's not shy at all and she loves other kids. Too bad we still have 6 months until she can actually go! (Chasing Elinor during church while having a newborn for 2 months does NOT sound like fun!)

Crazy Month

This month has been crazy. Elinor got two bottom teeth and started walking. Now she has four teeth broken through and two more almost through. By next week Elinor should have 6 teeth! Crazy considering three weeks ago she had NONE! She is also going through a HUGE growth spurt. Her poor little legs hurt from growing so much. Between Elinor waking up and pregnancy bladder issues, I have been up several times a night. Needless to say it's been an insane, fussy (for mom and babe) month!
