Eloise! Oh girlfriend, you’re almost one. ALMOST ONE YEARS OLD.
I could literally bawl when I think about how insanely fast this year has gone by + how in love I am with her. Eloise Belle is such a bright light.
Sis took her first steps on January 10th–a few real steps towards daddy. I don’t think I’ve ever been so emotional about it all. She is the most beautifully sweet soul and is the noisiest girl! She is a chatterbox especially when she wants what is in my hands or she sees food. Ha, my girl.
After a week of practising her walking, Eloise is a walking machine!! She is toddling around + doing so incredibly well. She loves to eat everything, shake her head no, clap, dance to music, and giggle + shriek loudly.
Sis is literally such a hilarious girl + is so much fun. I love how her personality just keeps shining through and through and we are all sooooo in love with her.
Eloise gifted me the very best gift when she turned eleven months–she decided that she finally liked the car + will fall asleep when I’m driving!!!!!! Y’all. This was like such a big moment for me. I CRIED. For those of you who had or have babies that were not huge fans of the car, you’ll know what I’m talking about here. It is so wonderful that I can plan our days a bit better knowing that she can take her naps in the car! And y’all it definitely gives me a nice break too because my babies LOVE to nap on me! So helloooo Starbucks trio and work stuff packed in my bag so I can easily get some writing or work done while she sleeps–and beautiful, GBB will nap in the car too. So basically, I feel like we’re in a sweet spot right now.
Sis is wearing 12m clothes, size 4 diapers, has her bottom molars and 4 top teeth + 3 bottom ones. She is in desperate need of a hair cut but I’m hopeful that the hair on the top of her head catches up soon LOL.
Her eyelashes are out of this world amazing and I love the way her little hand always rests on my chest. Oh and the way her sweet little dimples hand will wrap around my fingers when she needs that extra help walking. Omggggg I could bawl.
Eloise, my sweet girl, you LOVE: nursing w mama; cuddles with daddy–basically everything to do with daddy!!!; playing with your brother + your most favourite thing is to climb into the hot wheels bin and help put duplo LEGO away; the cat + you’re starting to point at him and say “meow meow” which I find very impressive!; all solid food–I literally can’t feed you fast enough; being outside; music + dancing; giving kisses; and walking everywhere!
Sis, my darling, you DO NOT LOVE: having your diaper changed; having something taken away from you; waiting for food or nummies (mama milk LOL); or when I won’t let you eat the random stuff off the floor.
I am absolutely obsessed with you Eloise. You have enriched my life more than I could ever put into words. And I never knew I needed a daughter until you arrived + you have literally made my mama dreams come true. I am so grateful to be you + your brother’s mama. It is such a pleasure and the most important hat I will ever wear.
I love you so much and I am so excited to see what you do with this life because I see BIG things for you boo. BIG THINGS. You’re incredible.
Happy 11 months my beauty. I’m so proud of you.
