my weekend in pictures.

{I am working with eloise on her utensil skills. my friend told me she puts almond (or peanut) butter on a spoon & gives it to her daughter to help her learn about how to use a spoon. I tried it with eloise this weekend & it works so well – genius!}

{this is my new favorite thing eloise does these days: she likes to read a magazine while I change her diaper!}

{eloise is also learning how to share & has started giving people things, like this Xbox game. thanks eloise!}

{eloise reading a pile of books with her friends at a birthday party this weekend.}

{I picked up these long-sleeved Ikea bibs last week & they are fantastic. easy to clean & I don’t have to strip eloise down to a diaper at mealtime!}

{eloise rode her first John Deere tractor this afternoon at a friend’s birthday party. I had to snap a picture & send it to her grandpa! also, doesn’t she look so old? a toddler already. sigh.}

{a sewing project that I have been working on for SO long is hopefully coming to an end this week. a very belated present for eloise that I will be sure to share once it is finished!}

we hit the first birthday party circuit again this weekend which is hilarious & so fun! I just can’t believe eloise & all of her friends are one. we didn’t have much else planned this weekend & were able to get a few things on the never-ending to-do list checked off (yard work for aaron & crafting projects for me). even without a jam-packed weekend, the two days still flew by! how was your weekend?
