Eleanor turned one month old this week, and we celebrated with a Labor Day cookout. Brian, Breanne, Sarah, Jay and Laura all came over with tons of food, and Jay cooked it all up. Yummy! We also had some self portraits, and a bath. How about that for a celebration!
Grandma and Grandpa Littleton stopped by for a quick visit, Grandpa was in town for a golf tournament, which went well. As for the visit, he reported “Eleanor cried when I held her, I went to see Zapatita and she hissed at me. Amy was fine though”. One for three isn’t bad.
Eleanor had lots of fun this week on her playmat, kicking and swatting up a storm, and even giving Mom a few smiles. She also seems to love hanging out on her changing pad. Not sure why, but we do get lots of good smiles and dancing there.
Cousins Paula, Tom and Chris stopped in to meet Eleanor for the first time. Unfortunately, she was a bit fussy and needed the pacifier for the photos. The good news is that apparently 6 weeks of age is the peak of fussiness for most babies – and it is clear sailing from then on (until the terrible twos, that is). I’ll let you know how that works out.
Our biggest first this week was Aunt Lary’s first time babysitting alone. Amy and I went to the Lions game (or Bears game, depending on who you ask) and Lary and Eleanor had a good five hours of bonding time. Highlights included lots of napping, two bottle feedings and one soiled changing pad cover. The game, you ask? Hmmm, I can’t remember who won….but this one time, at a Lions Bears game in 2005, I met this girl…

What a great update, thanks for the pics and the laughs. Bears won at the last couple of minutes as I heard. Lary must have done a good job, I didn’t get reactions otherwise, but glad E could bond. Go Auntie’s.
