Eleanor!

We got together with Marilyn, Eleanor and Wesley again and this time they made the trip up to our house for the day. The girls were so cute together again. Eleanor is always happy and smiling, very friendly little girl. I think they remember each other pretty well because they warmed up and started playing together not long after they arrived. Olivia is still a couple inches taller than Eleanor and weighs a couple pounds more. They are so different in many ways but so much the same in more ways. Eleanor can say her ABC's and count to 10 just like Olivia and they both know the same songs. The difference is Olivia learns these things at home and Eleanor goes to day care and learns a lot of things. They do look a lot different though with Eleanor's black, very straight hair and Olivia's wavy brownish-blackish hair.

Grandma Manning came over to visit too and when we asked Eleanor a question she started off her answer exactly like Olivia with "Uumm" and then her answer. It was so funny. Both girls are so well behaved.
Usually each one sits in a high chair for meals but we had Wesley in Olivia's high chair for lunch and I tried the girls at Olivia's little table. They sat there so good, shoveling in the chicken nuggets, peas, bread and of course cheese. After they ate they both chose ice cream over cookies for dessert. I let the video recorder sit and run on them while they ate. They are going to love watching these videos when they are older. They are both so cute and funny. They are both very well mannered, neat and tidy, especially when eating.

After they filled their bellies to the top with ice cream there was more time for playing before we had to say goodbye again and they had to head for home for a much needed nap for everyone. We spent a little time watching what was videotaped and you can see it playing in the background of this picture.

It's always fun to get together with them and see how Eleanor and her baby brother Wes are growing and changing. We can't wait to see them again soon!
