HOOD

My dad said that when Elinor sees me this is what she sees...

I can't hold her close to me without her frantically signing milk. She is not a snuggly baby. The only time I get to hold her for more than a second is when I'm nursing her. But I wouldn't change it for anything.

The name of the boat behind us is Eleanor

Happy Birthday

Today is Grandmom Eleanor's birthday! Ellie was really excited to take this picture for her.

We love you and hope you had a great day!

names

Elinor is named after her Grandmother Eleanor

Dave is one of 3 boys and his Dad has all brothers. Ellie is the first girl after a long line of boys. I loved the name Eleanor and with it being Dave's moms name we thought it would be special if we named her after her grandmom.

My Moms middle name is Marie which we liked but we wanted something a little different. After trying to come up with a middle name forever we found Meira, a variant of Marie.

So here is our little Elinor Meira
