First Easter

Eleanor spent her first Easter at Grandma and Grandpa’s house – and what a full house it was!  Mackenzie, Jack, Ben, Mahlia and Brooke were all there too!  She was super excited to meet Mahlia and Brooke for the first time – and Aunt Kristen and Uncle Michael too!   Grandma and Grandpa had a standing table that was the perfect height for Eleanor – and she got lots of practice standing and even trying to pull herself up from sitting.  She also got to try a ride-on toy for the first time, with mixed results.  We need to work on the balance a bit more :)   Eleanor did well with her first picture with the Easter Bunny – no crying but also no smiles.   She also adjusted well to being one of six kids in the house – quite a change (and quite a lot more head rubbing) from the only child quiet of home.  Oh yeah, and on Monday night Eleanor sat up all by herself in her crib!  Time to lower the mattress again :)
