eleanor is 4 months

eleanor turned four months old yesterday

 eleanor is the most ideal baby ever
(other than her allergies, i suppose)

 she is so easy going, always happy, and such a smiler

 she is really strong and rolling all the time

she loves to suck her thumb and eat her hands

 it was a really hard adjustment to switch her to formula 

and while she still had blood in her stool for about a week

i worried i'd made a huge mistake switching her

but once that got out of her system, she's been fine

she seems to be super healthy now

and it turns out formula is pretty convenient

she is up to 11 straight hours of sleep a night

and just to remember this

here is a picture of eleanor's corner saloon in uniontown, wa 

which we never went to and is now out of business

but definitely inspired me to name eleanor

i am an admirer of eleanor roosevelt

and because of this sign i realized i liked the way it looked in writing, too

we love our little eleanor
