Pits!

In the last month during bath time, I've taught Elinore where her armpits are.  We talk about them as we make sure we wash and rinse them.  She's a big fan of the rinsing part!  Now when you ask her where her armpits are, she put both her arms way in the air and yells "pits!"

Baby Haynes - Week 13

May 23, 2014

This week I most remember that I was finally starting to feel a little better.  Not great, but better!

Mother's Day 2014

I know I'm late, but I just found this photo and loved it.  I was very blessed this year for mother's day with lots of flowers from the kiddos! 

Ponytail

Back in May, Elinore finally started letting us put a ponytail in her hair!  Granted it rarely stays for long, but sometimes, it's there for awhile!

Nephew's Letter

My mother-in-law had decided we needed to take another old set of encyclopedias from her old place when she moved.  (This was maybe the 3rd set!)  We were looking through them as we were boxing them up to be donated and we found this gem of a note from our nephew Brennan. 

Babies

At just under 2 weeks shy of her second birthday, Elinore is very interested in playing with her baby dolls now.  It's just started in the last week, but she's got them all over the family room now.  Since she's been playing with them so much I brought the wooden cradle, that was mine when I was a little girl, out of her room and into the family room for her and she's loving it.  She has blankets for them and a pillow and clothes.  She really likes to put them to sleep and say "baby seeping" and tell everyone to "shhh!"  I even got yelled at earlier this week for being too noisy when the baby was sleeping.  I hope she learns something from this for when she's a big sister later this year! 

Baby on Board

During Elinore's pregnancy I wrote regularly here about our adventures in pregnancy.  Which right now I'm thinking would be nice to go a reread.  But that wasn't my point here, my point was that this time around, I haven't.  I sure with I'd do it, but getting the time and being motivated has been hard!  We're still working on house projects and it's summer with the kiddos and we're busy folks.  I have done a decent job at writing in my pregnancy journal though.  I'm glad we'll at least have that!  I did the same with Elinore, so it's nice to have that again.  Maybe soon I'll write a little about this pregnancy with some snipets from my handwritten pregnancy book for baby too.
