weeks eight and nine

I am woefully behind with my Eleanor pictures. The holidays just steam rolled over me and any time I had for picture editing before was completely wiped out with all things festive. I'm going to try and get caught up and since these pictures are so old (Thanksgiving-ish) and since Ellie looks way different now, I'm just going to combine weeks together as I get them done. The pictures below were taken while the baby and I were in California and the week after. This was the time that she really started smiling a lot! Her smile is still quite tentative in a lot of the pictures, but she is getting pretty good at it. There are a lot of nekkid baby pictures, but who doesn't love a nekkid baby?!?

I started calling her scar face
after the scratch she gave herself
