Happy Two-Month Birthday (two days ago).


Dear Eloise, 


Two days ago you turned two months old!  I just can't believe it..the past few months have flown by!  It seems like we were just waiting and waiting for you to arrive.  At this point you weigh a little over eleven pounds...that means you've gained almost four pounds since birth!  You wear 0-3 month clothing (you can squeeeeeze into newborn, barely) and you're quite long.  Maybe you have a chance of being a little taller than your mama.  :)  When you were first born, I didn't know if I could enjoy anything more than I did at that moment, staring at you and cuddling you.  But, as each day passes, I enjoy your company even more.  In the past few weeks you've started smiling in response to us.  It started out every once in a while, but now you smile every day, mostly in the mornings after you wake up.  You love sticking out your tongue at people, especially if someone does it to you first!  You have a ton of faces and you often look suspicious of something.  You also love looking around and observing...your absolute first love is your crib bedding, though.  You could stare at it forever, and I often find you talking to it and batting at it.  Your talking is adorable, with little babbles and coos here and there.  You mostly just make them when you're happy and you'll coo at us and try to have a "conversation."   At night you sleep pretty well...the past two nights you slept seven hours in a row.  During the day you do fight it, but we seem to have figured out more of a routine now and you're able to nap.  Otherwise, you're quite alert and you enjoy being read to.  You smile the most when I read Moo, Baa, La La La and A Color of His Own.  Walks are a fun time for us to spend together and you seem to like them as well.  It usually means a little nap for you, although today you enjoyed the scenery and the sun.  Your dad and I enjoy all these things about you.


Eloise, you are such a delight to us.  We can't wait to see your personality come out even more over the next few months and years. 


Love, 
Your mom

Another Chewbeads Giveaway - Open until 6/11.

YAY!   Another Chewbeads Necklace Giveaway – the Turquoise Hudson !   Giveaway will close on Monday, 6/11 at 10pm – winner will be announced by Wednesday evening. So, this go around, the necklace is a gift from me as a thank you for reading or visiting this tiny little blog.  Also, because it’s really fun to give stuff away.   So, I’ll be giving away one specific necklace, the Turquoise Hudson , since it seemed to be the overall favorite last time!   Chewbeads have actually even improved since the last giveaway - they're now lighter weight and don't snag on long hair! You all know I’m a little obsessed with them , and I still wear them, even with E at 16 months.   Actually, she was just chewing on them the other day (same day as the pic above– I swear she chews on them, I just never catch it).   And – she cries for the Charles bangles when I wear them.   She’s convinced they are hers, I assume.   So...Who can enter? Anyone – Old readers, new

Land of Nod Giveaway!!! (CLOSED)

Giveaway is CLOSED. Giveaway, it's a giveaway!!! $50 Land of Nod Gift Card! I'm obsessed with The Land of Nod .  I'm sure this is no surprise.  As you know, a whole lot of Eloise's room came from there.  And we continue to loooove, love, love their products.  SO, just recently, they came out with some amazing and adorable new products .  I can't get over how cute the new beddings are...these would have seriously been in the running for EA had they existed then.  And the blue Jenny Lind bed is the perfect shade of aqua, all funky and polished at the same time.  In love.  And, if you happen to like poufs, too, a faux leather (and somewhat cheaper) version of one for kids (or adults).  Oh, yes, and the rugs...seriously amazing...  I need to stop.   Anyways, these sweet people at the Land of Nod have offered to give one lucky reader a 50 dollar gift card .  Yep, that's right.  I'm pretty stinking excited.  I kind of wish I could enter!  For details,
