Blessing

We had Eleanor's baby blessing on December 7th. Janet and her three boys and Aaron's parents came to the blessing. It was sure nice to have them there. Janet and John picked out Eleanor's dress for me. Too cute.

The blessing itself was kind of funny. Aaron was up blessing the sacrament, so when they said they were going to bless Eleanor, Aaron just went over and stood waiting for the other men to come up. I was sitting in the back row with the family and I said to myself "Aaron, you need the baby." Aaron's mom replied "He'll figure it out." About 10 seconds later Aaron looked up at me, kind of blushed and started walking to the back to get Eleanor. It was cute and he did a great job on the blessing. Some of the ladies in the ward commented later on how cute it was that Aaron forgot the baby.

Pictures

We had some pictures taken of our girls, so I thought I would post a few.

One Month Old

Eleanor is 1 month old today. She had some trouble gaining weight the first two weeks of her life, but now that we added formula to our feeding routine she is gaining weight and she is so much more content. She has started smiling and I wish I could get it on film because it would just melt your heart. We are blessing her on the 7th and wish that family could come see our beautiful babe, but it is a bad time of year for travelling, so pictures will have to do for now. Hope you are all having a wonderful holiday season.
Even though she doesn't get much sustenance from me, Eleanor loves to breastfeed, and occasionally Dad's arm will do. :)
