Milestones...do I like them?

Well, Eowyn has found her feet, and likes to grab her toes while she's being changed. She is grabbing and holding on to things much more, and with greater control. Yesterday she was in a lounging position, and pulled herself to a sitting position...she promptly flopped to the side, but still, she pulled herself up! She seemed to realize this was a great accomplishment and is happy to try again whenever given the chance. She's not crawling, but she can push herself up from a flat on her belly position, with her hands, but her knees don't quite make it...she does seem to realize that is what needs to happen next. I'm not sure I like this...everyone said that they grow up very fast, and I knew they were probably right...but wow!

Happy Thanksgiving!

We had a great holiday! I hope you did too. We went to Christopher's parents house. His brother and his wife recently moved out of town, and were home for the holiday. It was great to see them! Eowyn was sporting a very cute "1st Thanksgiving" Bib, compliments of Christopher's Parents. She had a great time being passed around and playing with everyone! Check out those bright blue eyes!! I can't believe she's 3 1/2 months old!!

First Play Date

Julie and I were in the same birthing class and then we were in the same New Mom's group. Here little girl, Josie, is only a little younger then Eowyn. The other day Julie and I took the girls along on a lunch date, then back to Julie's for some "play time"...which at this point consists of the babies laying on a blanket next to each other. They looked at each other a little,
then their hands brushed up against each other while they were flailing them around. They grabbed hands and were sort of holding each other...then Little Josie found her hand had migrated to a very happy Eowyn's mouth!! I'm telling you EVERYTHING is going in that mouth right now...Josie was very gracious, and we had a nice time... Here are some pics of the girls.

Just another manic monday...

That song makes me think of working and that has been what I've been doing this week and last...going to the office. I am training a new employee so I've needed to go to work and not bring Eowyn (unlike my usual working from home while I hang out with her). Well, her grandmother's have been very happy to help watch her while I work, which has been great! Grammy Ouellette loves to take pics and has gotten some really fabulous shots...but is there really a bad picture of such a cute baby...hehehe...

Grammy McGuyver...

We left Eowyn alone with Grammy Waterhouse for the first time on October 15th. We were going to a town meeting (nothing fun by the way) and were in a hurry. We go to my parents most nights so there was very little instruction necessary so we dropped of the baby and her stuff (or so we thought) and ran off to the meeting. Well, upon returning my mother informed me that we did not leave a diaper bag...so I could not complain about the baby's diaper... Grammy had fashioned a clean diaper by wrapping a hand towel (she even used a pretty one that said "joy" on it) on like a good ole' fashioned cloth diaper. .

Then she needed "rubber pants", and the light bulb went on and a Market Basket shopping bag fit the bill. The Sweet Baby Girl loved her makeshift undergarments...everytime she wiggled her butt crinkled and she'd grin

First Concert

Eowyn went to her first concert on October 21st. We went to see Mitch McVicker. It was a free concert in town so it was the perfect way to find out how Eowyn would do at a concert...if she didn't like it we weren't out anything. About 5 songs in the power went out, so they continued accoustically. Eowyn enjoyed it, and she looked so adorable in her Johnny Cash onsie, with the black offset by her cute pink and white tutu...Here she is dancing in her daddy's arms.
