eloise: happy, spunky, strong-willed, feisty, smart, loving, silly, energetic, brave, beautiful and colorful. I see these traits in you on a daily basis. You, my dear, are all of this and so much more.

eloise: I had several other pictures picked out for this week. Ones that were a little more relevant to you doing things (a few of you looking a little rosy-cheeked from catching another cold), but this one kept popping back up in my head. A photo we took for your 19 month shoot. You were eager to smile for the camera and every single one of these photos makes me smile, myself, just to see them. Nineteen months of joy, spunk, challenge, smarts, beauty and fun. We love our little Ellie Boo.

eloise: lately, I just can’t stop taking pictures of you and that adorable toddler face ( and I don’t think you mind)… you were making this really serious face at me during lunch one day and after I grabbed the camera to capture it, you started making all sorts of silly faces and saying, “cheese” (which sounds much more like “t-eee”).
here’s a couple more shots, because I can’t help myself…

eloise: I didn’t take many photos at all this week. You came down with the worst cough and cold you’ve ever had. It’s been a very rough fews days and nights. This photo was one I took for your 18 month shoot. You can see the cold already creeping up in your glassy eyes and rosy cheeks. Get better soon little one.

eloise: An action shot for this week’s portrait (because it’s getting harder and harder to catch just your face these days). We were back at the beach this week. It was cooler this time around, finally feeling a bit like January. These days you have been very busy, very sensitive and needing to be very close to Mama at all times. Except when I take you to the beach. You run carefree. Your face lights up as you chase the birds and run down to the waters edge. You squish your toes in the sand and exclaim, “more, more, more!”

eloise: An afternoon at the park. It’s a joy watching you explore and play day after day.

eloise: We are having a heat wave in the middle of winter. This week it got up to 90 degrees in our little beach town! We made the best of the dry heat and went to the beach- twice! You are really enjoying the beach these days. You grab handfuls of sand and run around wanting me to chase you. You are cautious by the water and I am thankful you haven’t wanted to get in yet. Just before sunset you sat down, breathed it all in and gave me a knowing smile. Now if only we can get Daddy to like the beach?

eloise: Run free wild child! The Santa Ana winds make you giggle and a day out with your grandparents is always a day full of joy for you!
