coming and going

We're all about teeth here these days. Eleanor's are coming in like a flood, and I expect by her first birthday- in a month- she'll have four new ones on the top. You can just barely see them peeking out in perfect hillbilly fashion.

On the other end of the spectrum, this girl smiles a little bigger so as to show off the gaping (at least in her mind) hole in her mouth. One Morning in Maine declares her a big girl now that she's lost this first tooth. I'd have to agree.

may 7: baby faces

I'm back, after a short break from my Every Day in May blogging challenge for a Sabbath rest. Ahh, it was a good rest day. This isn't the post I wanted to write, because I have a favorite thing I'm just dying to share.

However, today was Adeline's birthday party- a Spring theme, complete with an egg hunt, dirt cake, and lots of flowers. Only a year or two ago I gave birth to her, and now she is five. How did that happen?? It does seem like her birth just occurred, and yet considering all the other events that have taken place since she was born, she could be ten by now.

Anyway, this is sort of a cheater post because I need to nurse the baby and go to bed. The first pictures are of baby Adeline, the second group of Eleanor. My second baby girl may keep her dark hair after all, a thrilling thought for this former blonde/producer of pale blonde children. I do love how much babies change from day to day. One day, she looks JUST like my husband. Then my sister. Then her sister. Very weird. But so sweet!
