Floor Time Revisited

Eowyn's new favorite toy is what used to be her wet bag dispenser (before the disposable wet bags got used up). She loves it, especially sticking it in her mouth as much as possible. Sometimes she'll even try spitting with it in her mouth!

Faces for Daddy

Éowyn woke up happy and very animated this morning. From the moment I heard her playing happily in her crib and got a huge grin at seeing me, she's been full of fun expressions! Here are some I got between the early church service and Sunday school:

And my favorite...

In Her Church Clothes

Éowyn's stuffy nose kept her out of nursery this week, so we kept her with us in Children's Sunday School (which we often do anyway, just because the poor nursery workers are so swamped down there, and she doesn't disturb anyone with us). She played happily and cutely in the back... until she bonked her head on the baseboard and from that point on decided the only safe place was in Mommy's arms. Daddy wouldn't even cut it!

Derby Day!

Every Louisvillian Lady must have a Derby hat... Éowyn's was supplied by my friend Katy, who came down from Cinci for the day to visit & meet li'l E. She was the cutie of the party, that's for sure!

Upended Sleeper

See which end is "up?" :) We just can't resist sleepin-baby pictures.

Poor Baby

This was even funnier from the front, because you could see her lips pooched around the wrong-side-in pacifier!

Cuddling with Daddy

Poor Éowyn woke up with a fever, and wasn't herself all day-- though she still made every effort to be sweet and smile at everyone.

EDIT: the fever was short-lived, and gone by the following afternoon. Did the garlic oil help?

Double Fistin' It

Happy to See Daddy Again!

Asleep on the way over- and she pulled the toys onto herself

We had a day together as a family between our trips apart, company coming, and Ryan leaving again. We did a lot of cleaning, and spent the afternoon over in St. Matthews, eating at Chick Fil'A, walking around the mall, getting ice cream at Cold Stone Creamery (yum!), and perusing Half-Price Books until we absolutely HAD to leave. :) As usual, we got stopped by many people admiring our daughter...once we even had stopped just to look at her ourselves!

I love this little outfit, a gift from Grandpa Rob & Grandma Joanna-- I was afraid she wouldn't get to wear it much with the weather in the 80s like it was for a while, but we've had enough chilly and/or rainy days that she's getting some good use out of it after all! I'm so glad, because the blue and the brown together are my FAVORITE combination on her!! Brings out those enormous blue eyes of hers!

She's such a sweet, smily baby!

Oh... and face-plants are still pretty classic for her at this point.
