37 weeks old: grilling, piano playing, park swinging, and Mi Patio

Eloise has spent the last week enjoying the sun and warmth of Arizona. Saturday her aunts Teresa and Jill and her cousins Emily, Drew, Cory, Mateja, and Aidan all came over to grill and hang out. Eloise went down for a 2 hour nap soon after they arrived and I didn't get any pictures of them with Eloise before they had to leave. Boo! Only Teresa and Emily were left when Eloise woke up. The photo above was taken by Emily on the patio just after Eloise woke up from her nap. A couple more pictures from the day:

Grandma has a player piano and one day she let Eloise play it. Perfect timing because she is really into banging these days. Grandma says we should have dressed her in a recital dress.

On Sunday we met up with Jill, Mateja, and Aidan at a nearby park to spend some time together. Eloise loved watching her cousins on the playground equipment. At one point Mateja got in the bucket swing next to Eloise and she couldn't take her eyes off of her.
Someone is a little big for these swings

I don't feel like smiling

Yesterday was my birthday and we went to one of my favorite Mexican restaurants for dinner, Mi Patio. It has become a regular spot for my family over the years. Eloise made the rounds being held. She has a healthy dose of stranger anxiety so her time in others' arms is always limited, aside from Grandma. And Krin, who is apparently a baby whisperer.
