eloise: the magic of this season seems to already have had an effect on you. You are loving the Christmas tunes playing all day long. You’re eager to help Daddy cook soups and other wintery goodness and the tree has been an exciting addition to the house. You regularly pull the ornaments off and put them back on. My little Christmas elf!

eloise: I’m watching you grow and explore. You are doing so many neat, little girl things these days, it’s hard to capture every magical moment. But, I’m trying, so that I may remember that sparkle in your eye when you discover something new for the very first time.

eloise: you woke up from your nap wanting a little more “milkamilk”, then you crawled over to the end of the bed and started smiling and being silly, as if you wanted me to grab the camera and snap away. The little bit of afternoon light coming in through the window kept shining on your face and making you giggle. Sun-kissed and adorable, I can’t help but love you a little more every day.

eloise: there were so many great photos from this week it was very difficult to choose. I kept coming back to this happy close-up of you though and just knew I had to make it a portrait. You have a cold this week but it hasn’t slowed you down. You are getting into everything all of a sudden, drawers are being rummaged through, couches and chairs are being climbed and you want to be outside as often as you can to run around. You are keeping me on my toes!

eloise: when I ask you to smile for the camera, I am getting a lot of this “smile”. I think you are already ready for a life on stage my darling girl!

eloise: My energizer bunny. You go, go, go all the time. Constantly exploring, constantly moving, constantly on the go. You keep your Mama on her toes.

eloise: you’re funny, you’re smart, you’re beautiful. You like to dance and push strollers around and walk as far as your little legs can carry you. You give me kisses on my lips because you see me do it that way to Daddy. I never liked the idea of kissing babies on the lips, but you insist and now, it tickles me to no end. You love to laugh and sign “more” when I tickle you. You sign “more” when I sing you songs. You sign “more” when I read you books. You love animals, especially foxes, elephants, cats and your puppy dogs. You like picking things up. Rocks, shells, pokey seed pods. The world has suddenly opened up and you are exploring every inch of it. And, I, your Mama am loving being your guide.

eloise: it was so difficult choosing a picture this week. I took a few of you in the beautiful glow of the afternoon sun and of course the first one I took, that doesn’t show much sunlight glow was the one that struck me as the one. When I asked your Daddy and Grandparents, they said the same thing. So, here it is- this week’s portrait. You are at your new table that I found at the antique market this week. It’s been fun setting out new things for you to explore and I think you are enjoying a table, all your own.
