Stroller....weight limit?

So, Noni (my Mom) bought Eleanor this really cute baby with a stroller, car seat, diaper bag, and a crib thing for Christmas last year. She has just recently started to take an interest in holding her baby and playing with the set of baby stuff. Tonight I was putting clothes away in her room, and she came in there to play. I turned around and totally caught her sitting and then standing in the stroller. I swear the stroller was gasping for air. This poor stroller was trying to support her and it was about to break. She proceeded to laugh when I asked what she was doing. Our little angel......yeah right :)

Mom's Big Mistake!

Ok, so today I made a huge error. Eleanor has been using plastic bowls lately. I am teaching her how to keep the food in the bowl until she would like to eat some. She has been doing such a great job in her high chair that today I decided to give her some dried fruit pieces in our living room. WHAT WAS I THINKING????? First chance she got, she dumped them all over the floor. Then she proceeded to step on them....yes, mashing them into our carpet. This was a big error on my part. Never again!

The last picture shows a piece of dried strawberry stuck to her chin...look closely.

Out in the front yard with the dogs

Eleanor is walking all over now. It is hard for me to think of when she couldnt walk. She has just learned how to walk down hill. Most of us dont think about how gravity fights your body when you walk down hill, but watching Eleanor reminded me. She is SO independent. She doesnt like to be held by anyone including Mom and Dad. She wants to do everything herself. She now says: no, thank you, please, tickle tickel, Dada, Pop, bah bah (means Momma). Temper tantrums are daily now. She is only 13 months and the terrible two's have started, my Mom and Dad remind me daily that she is just like me. Oh great, boy am I in for it.
