Eleanor is 19 months old!

Here's what she's up to:

Reading nonfiction children's books on topics like the moon or how bees make honey. Seriously. She doesn't want to read anything that's not related to science. She has now added to her reading vocabulary words like lava, volcanoes, Earth, full moon, half moon, roots, seeds, honey, and wax. I'm pretty sure she's going to be smarter than me in like six weeks.


Eating a much wider variety of foods. Thank goodness!! We discovered that if we give her what we're eating and a fork, she'll eat almost anything. Who knew a utensil could make such a difference?!


Talking like crazy. Here are a few of my favorite Eleanor sayings.



  • She's really into looking for things. So, she stills says, "_______, ah you?" all the time. And it's now followed by, "Tet-is!" (There it is!)

  • When I ask her if she wants something, she says, "No!......Otay." She also says "otay" when she's getting ready to do something, like read a book.

  • When she wants a kiss- "Piss, pease." And when she's eating corn- "Mmm...porn." Hilarious.

  • "Daddy, ah you? Daddy WORT!" (work) and "Mimi, ah you? Mimi Tet-sas." (Texas)

  • She has the sweetest little "thank you" ever and uses it at all the right times...like when someone gives her something or at the store when we check-out or when someone pays her a compliment. She even thanks me for washing her bottom in the bathtub.

  • "Help, pease."

  • "Ho high!" (so high)

  • "I sit down." Then, after she sits, "Otay!!"

  • "Weed books!" (read books)

  • "Words, pease" when she wants to look at flashcards.

I had to read to my husband the "piss, please" and "mmm...porn" after I started laughing out loud. Eleanor is so cute. Get that girl her own blog so she can teach us about moon phases and honey making! :-)
