Elle's new toy

She pefers to hold our hands and walk to crawling. So we decided to get her a new toy. She can't get enough of it!! We filmed her first try.

New Year (Chinese), New Tricks

Elle had a great Chinese New Year visiting Chinatown in Flushing, Queens. She also learned to say mama!






Elle is learning to recycle!
The moms at the library group. So much fun each week!!
The bubbles, the bubbles, the bubbles...


Elle invited her friends over to her house for lunch. Here she is with Lily.
On the train to Flushing. Complete winter comfort.
Dragon? Where?!
Elle attended her very first concert! She attended the Modigliano Quartet (from Paris!) at the Port Washington Public Library. She got the "Oh boy, here we go" look from some people, but proved them wrong by making it through the entire concert with just a few minor coos. The cellist gave Eleanor one of his bow hairs as a memento, which we're going to frame for her. Eleanor preferred the Ravel piece over the Beethoven, although, in her humble opinion, the Wolf piece was quite delightful.
