I'm back, everyone!

Walking through the terminal at Sea-Tac, on the way home from Oakland...

A table!

Eloise had her first solid meal yesterday! "Meal" is maybe an exaggeration - it was hard to tell how much actually stayed in her mouth. She certainly seemed enthusiastic though! Hopefully this means she'll be a good eater!

















(The bib reads "My dad is the toughest!")

Il lui manque que le cognac!

Oakland

We spent a week in Oakland, CA, to visit family and friends. Eloise had a great time playing with Granddad and Mamine, and meeting her future BFF, Sabine and Christophe's daugther Mila. Sabine and I have been friends since we were 10, so extending that to our daughters was really fun! We also took Eloise 'swimming' for the first time! Not sure what she made of it, but she definitely liked hanging out naked in the shade after!
