Eleanor can sit on a ball. She is very proud of this (as are we). She can then multi-task and play some Yo Gabba Gabba tunes. Is she a genius or what?
Cool tricks, cool tricks!
This is an improved technique for her, by the way. Last week she was setting the ball down and then doing a whirl around hopefully-my-butt-will-land-on-the-ball move.

Anna
July 20, 2010 at 7:34 pmI love how unimpressed the dog is. “Puhlease, balls are so last year.”
And the clapping. Adorable.
Sarah

Jen
July 20, 2010 at 8:34 pmShe is so cute! Your dog has a great expression on his face like, “well, I guess this kid is staying. Oh well…”

July 20, 2010 at 8:38 pmOMG too cute! She’s so proud too. Just adorable :)
wanderluster
July 20, 2010 at 8:44 pmThat is too cute. She’s so genuinely happy that she finally made it.
I love seeing other babies my daughter’s age. They share so many mannerisms, even laugh the same.
Tammy
July 20, 2010 at 8:49 pmI love how proud she is! She looks like such a good combination of you and your husband. At first I thought, “she looks exactly like him!” Then I switched to, “or maybe just like her!”
Tara
July 20, 2010 at 9:00 pmShe always looks cute in her pictures, but this video was totally different. She has the most adorable face & expressions! The cute pictures don’t do her justice. If I saw her IRL I’d be drooling. I only have little, stinky boys so the girls make my heart pitter patter.
sarah (more olives please)
July 20, 2010 at 9:13 pmOh that little clap! Be still my heart! I have definitely not reached the parenting point in my life, but she makes me want a little one of my own right now.

July 20, 2010 at 9:43 pmShe is so adorable! What a beautiful little smile.
Your Mother
July 20, 2010 at 9:53 pmRoss asked if I think Eleanor is cuter than Francesca. LOADED question :)I asked him “why, do you?” and he said “a little”. Spoken like a true uncle, and as a brother to a 3 year old sister :)
Then his smile quickly turned to concern when he saw the Yo Gabba Gabba guitar and said “hey, what is that doing over there?” Once I assured him Francesca still has hers he was okay – so at least he has his little sisters’ “back” where Yo Gabba Gabba is concerned!

July 20, 2010 at 10:21 pmI’d love to see it but I can’t seem to get the page to load completely. I think one of the ads is screwing it up.
My daughter is a huge Yo Gabba Gabba fan. We even bought tix to Yo Gabba Gabba Live, because we’re apparently big suckers. ;) Aurora will love it though, and that’s all that’s important, right? IT’s the day after her birthday party, too.

July 20, 2010 at 11:32 pmOHMY! She is adorable. I agree with one previous poster. The pictures are cute, but this just made me lovey-dovey from all her cuteness :)
Laurie

That outfit is gorgeous!

Erika

Ashleigh
July 21, 2010 at 1:44 pmThat is too cute! Love the clapping part. My cousin is about to have a little girl, and this just makes me so excited. All of the young ones in our family are boys, and though I love them so, I can’t wait to have a little girl around

Fiona
July 21, 2010 at 3:21 pmShe is adorable. Such a pretty little face! I love kids. I swear I would have eight if money and age didn’t prevent me, but I guess I’ll settle for my one (who does NOT want a brother or sister, so it works).
Lori
July 22, 2010 at 12:22 amShe’s just too cute for words! Can’t help but smile while watching.

July 22, 2010 at 2:33 pmOMG…Sooooooooo insanely cute!!! And the dog in the background with his I’ve-seen-this-a-thousand-times face? Priceless.
Kelle Dame
July 22, 2010 at 3:14 pmSo cute! My daughter just gave your daughter a kiss!! She saw your little girl and had to watch the video. They have the same dress and she loves Yo Gabba Gabba too! Love your blog!
Viv
July 22, 2010 at 11:37 pmAdorable! She absolutely is a genius.
My son might be too. The other day he was naming colours and I haven’t started teaching them to him yet.*
But just when I start to think.. MENSA! … he tries to walk backwards through the house with his eyes closed and is surprised that he bumps into things.
* I think his grandmother has been teaching him.
