Exercise is for the birds...

Ok, so I thought it would be a wonderful idea to go for a walk with Eleanor yesterday. The weather in Salem has been so nice and warm, I waited for the sun to start to go down (too cool off a bit) and we packed up and headed out for our walk. Just as I shut the garage, I felt a rain drop. ARE YOU KIDDING ME???? It has not rained for like 24 days according to the news and when I decide to go enjoy the outdoors with my daughter it rains???? I did not want to give up so Ele and I kept walking. Yes, it started to pour.....NO MORE WALKS! Here is pictures of Eleanor all wet, poor girl.

First peanut butter and jelly sandwich

Now that Eleanor is 1, she was given the OK by her pediatrician to have kind of food she would like. I gave her her first PB&J and she loved it. I am so happy she is not allergic to peanuts.

Gettin BIG!

Cannot believe she is almost 13 months....Her teeth look big and she is not our baby anymore, she is our BIG girl!

Fun in the sun!

It has been so HOT in Salem. We have reached a high temp of 104! WOW! News people say this is a record that we have not reached since the 1980's. Eleanor is enjoying the heat in style. She has 2 pools and a very cute cherry printed swim suit. I loaded the sunscreen on and we went outside to enjoy the hot weather. We only lasted about 30 minutes before we needed to go inside to cool off (thank the Lord for AC). Eleanor is drinking about 8 glasses of water a day. We have been changing diapers like mad.

Happy 28th Birthday Bestie!
