Can't think of a good title, sorry...

Eleanora's new favorite spot by the back door became about 100x more fun when she realized that Kirby is often on the other side,



Thursday night we went on a family date to Cheesecake Factory. A couple shots before we left since her outfit + hairdo was so adorable,






(this is such a Nora face, I love it!)


Eleanora & daddy waiting for a table...in the same spot Bryce and I sat waiting for a table on our 3rd date 4 years ago (well, 3 weeks shy of 4 years ago exactly)



She has started to become agitated by watching other people eat with nothing to eat herself, so we bring along Puffs (for those of you w/o babies they are like little pieces of flavored cereal that melts in her mouth). She has almost mastered getting them in her mouth all by herself. That's not to say we don't often leave a mountain of Puffs behind on the floor of restaurants, but she's getting really good! See....?





Checking out the cheesecake selection...



and of course daddy playing Nora's favorite "pick up menus" game,



Showing off her style before leaving for Grandma Kate's,



We've done a lot of snoozing in the recliner this week. Eleanora, Kirby & I,



And Eleanora & daddy after he got home from work on Friday,



And lastly, Eleanora loves this foam letter puzzle piece...I think it's probably because the "K" is bright orange, but I like to think it's because she knows it's her last initial. Either way, this is what she was doing the other night,
