The weekend so far...

• It makes me kind of sad all the little things I miss out on because Eleanor rarely has my sole attention. For instance, last night when I was giving her her bath, I saw that she was sticking the rag back in the water after sucking all of the water out. She did this about three times before I wouldn't let her anymore but it was cool to see her purposefully doing something sort of complicated (for a baby). She also knows a few words--like milk. If I say that word she looks directly at the source, or if we are lying down and I say "milk?" she knows exactly what to do and she nudges up to me and opens her mouth really wide, like a baby birdie.
• Eleanor weighs 18 lbs. I sat her on our scale. Not completely accurate but close enough I'm sure.
• I forgot how boring it can be to be alone with a baby hour after hour. There are rare moments of boredom when Henry is here and I always have someone to talk to. It is a little lonely but I am getting a lot done. I've practically detailed the back of the house. E just watches and plays with toys. She's clean, well rested, fed and happy. When I was one on one with Henry back in the day I literally sat on the floor with him allllllll day and played with him. I didn't cook or clean. I barely showered. I just played with him. Like he would fall to pieces if he didn't have me two inches from him. I don't know how I did that.
