Elinor's day/Topsfield Fair

A couple of weeks ago we had planned to go with Lynn, Garvey, Jesse and Mike to Topsfield Fair. I had been slacking on sending pictures of Elinor to Dave so as soon as she woke up I took a picture of (almost) everything we did. Here is a day in the life of Elinor...

waking me up and cuddling a koala and foam O

Potty time and breakfast

Favorite thing to do, pulling books off the shelves. Getting dressed, every time I put her on her table she points and dances until I sing ABC's to her while pointing every letter out.

Dressed and ready

but first nap time and I finally shower and get ready

oh hi big girl

taking the trash out and running to the post office

another favorite thing to do, pulling all the snacks out

Lunch time and drooling like crazy

Stuffing fresh diapers while she plays

nap time before we leave for the fair

Eating a pop cake on the way. Topsfield!

Watching a man singing children's songs and kids dancing while we wait for our friends. She loved it

Lynn and Elinor. Sandcastles

Mama and baby

more Lynn and Elinor. Looking at bunnies

Lynn found a nursing trailer. Inside there was a sign to please take a homemade bear. She picked a flowery pink one. Huge pumpkin!

She couldn't believe the rides

She was asleep for the dogs jumping into water but woke up for the practice round. She couldn't believe it!

leaving the fair and friends

Back home for a quick dinner of grapes and leftover pizza, while still holding a toy. 

Goonight Moon and sleep!

I wish Dave could have been there with us. I know he loved seeing this many pictures of Ellie through out the day. I hope everyone else does too! 

sleeping baby

I barely open my computer anymore. Good thing I got an iphone. I can check other blogs (sometime), instagram, and other little things to pass the time. Also taking pictures with my phone has been so much easier than taking the camera out. So pretty much I always have baby in one hand and my phone in the other.

She was sleeping pretty good only waking up 2, 5 and 8. Then the last two nights she wants to party all night. But she is the cutest when she is awake so it is easy to wake up and talk and sing to her at 3am.

We ran out of newborn diapers and the size 1s seemed too big still so I tried out her cloth diapers. They fit and she wore one for about a hour before exploding. They made Dave a little nervous because her tiny little legs had some space and he thought she was going to pee on him. 

Tomorrow morning we go pick my sister up from the airport so she can meet Elinor. Also she is babysitting for us that night so we can go to this

I'm so sad about leaving her for a night but I know my sister will cuddle her all night and Ellie will probably think it's me anyway...we kind of look alike.  It's going to be such an exciting day/night for the both of us!
