Not walking but curious and happy

January 2016: Eloise continues to baffle us with her complete disregard for walking. However, she does seem to enjoy standing more than she used to so we're doing lots of play time while standing. Despite this little setback (which we don't actually consider much of a setback rather just the result of her being the 3rd child who spends a lot of time in her carseat or stroller), she's a very smart, curious and happy little kid who is growing up entirely too fast for both mommy and daddy.

 Pulling up on her bin so she can chew on it...

Sitting still for a few minutes and staring out the back door at the leaves blowing in the breeze.

Assume the crawling position... but no crawling.

She LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVES to play under the table (this is underneath our temporary kitchen table which is actually 2 folding tables pushed together).

Sitting on her doggie and scooting in place to cause it to rock it back and forth and squeak.

Mommy strategically positions toys to try to encourage her to move her feet to get from one to the other. So far it hasn't worked but one of these days it will.

Standing at the couch and reading a book to mommy.
