Walking...its official!

On s'amuse!

Eloise passe 2 jours par semaine avec Anais, sa charmante babysitteuse originaire de Montpellier. En toute evidence, elles ne s'enuient pas!

The meeting of the minds

A few weeks ago, Eloise got to meet some of her cousins, both current and future! She met Severine (a whooping 4 months younger), and met her Aunt Sheila's belly, which contains a boy cousin due in February!

Let's go Sounders!

Okay, so the Seattle Sounders didn't make the MLS finals...but Eloise is showing her spirit nonetheless!

Some of the highlights of last month: Eloise learned to push herself on her little horsey, and is now performing at Flamenco shows worldwide!

A Halloween Birthday!

This afternoon, we had what is destined to become a yearly tradition: The Taylor-Beasley Halloween Birthday Party! As a kangaroo, Eloise officially began walking (I think her tail helped her with balance), had cake for the first time, and became fascinated with wrapping paper. Thanks to everyone who came and made it a great time - and mark your calendars for next year!
(and thanks to Bill for the great decorations and snacks!)

Almost walking!

Pumpkin Time!

(I have been remiss in uploading photos...my apologies!)
Today we went to Eloise's first pumpkin patch! Well...technically, she had been there before - almost exactly a year ago, when Adam and I went 2 days AFTER she was due!

We had a great time picking out pumpkins and admiring the alpacas with Caoimhe. Last year, Adam took pictures of me (pregnant) among the pumpkins...this year, we put Eloise in the pumpkin patch - she didn't seem to mind at all!
