Eloise went on her third hike a week ago with our play group and it was the first time she tolerated being in the backpack carrier for the whole time! I don't know what it was, maybe because she could see all her baby friends. We went to Oxbow Park and it was a really nice day.
I prefer to look at the river
Then, last Wednesday we were in the kitchen and I look over and Eloise is standing in the middle of the floor! Didn't pull herself up on anything, not holding onto anything, just stood right up. I cheered and she looked really excited and pleased with herself. She squatted back down, crawled a couple feet to the right, and stood up again. That's the one I caught in a photo:
Ahhhhhh! This is awesome!
Since last Wednesday she has stood up like this a few times every day. I'm wondering if she'll take her first steps before her first birthday!
I'm solo standing. NBD.
Father's Day was Sunday and Evan requested we spend the first part of the day getting garden starts from Portland Nursery and planting them, and then head to Salem an hour South of Portland to have dinner with his family. Eloise liked looking at all of the plants at the garden center.

In other news, Eloise continues to add more dance moves to her repertoire:
And finally, a few weeks ago I introduced a bunny "lovey" to Eloise's crib as a transitional object to help her self-soothe at night and during naps. Sometimes she lays her hand on it, she almost always plays with it when she wakes up, and when she's irritated she throws it overboard.
Mom, you didn't get in here fast enough after I woke up. Bunny overboard!
Peaceful snooze with the bunny
