Recently...

Since Oliver has decided to claim all territories in the house as his own, there was a small altercation between Ellie and Oliver last week. It happened in the Moses basket. He had been napping there quietly, minding his own business, when suddenly as Ellie came downstairs, she felt desperate to confront him to express her desires to have him vacate her downstairs sleeping quarters.

Upon her entry to the Moses basket, tears were shed, and a paw/footshake was exchanged. Oliver did agree to leave for that moment, but he has been seen sneaking back there for a quick nap or two since then.


Also in the news: at the library during story time last week, a patron pulled my mother, the librarian aside to give her a homemade gift for her new grand daughter. Upon showing me the gift, we immediately decided to test out this new hat (there is also a matching blanket) to show off the attractiveness of her new gift. Perhaps we should have waited until after she had completely woken up from her nap first?


Lastly, here is a glimpse and an attempt to capture Ellie'e kicking feet on film. Though a little blurry, this is the best that I can do. It is crazy to me that she already has all of the makings of a big person's foot shrunk down into baby size. Little toes, little distinct foot lines, little nails...
