OK. Maybe Eleanor wasn’t that into the Modern Wing of the Art Institute, but I made it up to her by letting her splash around for half an hour in Millennium Park’s Crown Fountain. Now, for purely selfish reasons (I’m San Francisco bound and I’ll be missing her), I’m posting footage of Eleanor having a grand ole time.

She’s absolutely adorable!!! In love with her outfit, what a sweet fashionista! She’s too cute!
I absolutely love her outfit! You dress her so adorable. And the fountain is of course as beautiful.
I love how she is pulling a Marilyn Monroe when the wind is blowing up her dress. Too cute! AND, I am very jealous that you are going to SF. I just came back from there and wish I had never left!
I must thank you once again for sharing Eleanor with us. Just being able to watch her there, almost seeing her mind racing as she experiences the water – how precious.
she is too cute.
your little lady is sooo cute. Love to watch kids when they’re discovering new stuff. And love your web too!
Too cute. My kids love that fountain too. Although I’ve never seen it that empty. We have to bring bathing suits now for every trip downtown.
So many things I LOVE about this video! Her outfit is too cute. I am in love with the music you selected & not sure where to find it. Also love how she was so amazed with the water and kept trying to drink it. Too cute! I can’t wait for my little guy to get to that stage. So amazing!!!
Oh my goodness, I want to pinch her little cheeks! She is just the cutest, and that little dress on her is so great.
You’re killing me, Balch.
I love the way Elanor patted water on her feet before stepping in, so cute! Love the outfit! Sweet baby!
Oh dear…she is so incredibly adorable! And that outfit! I love it with her beautiful little gold shoes! And I love so much when they first start walking like that….it is the best.

So cute! Millenium Park is the best. You should take her for ice skating in the Winter once she get’s older.
Ps. Does that outfit come in adult size? (Shoes included).
It’s so sweet the way she kind of tests the water at all levels–hand wet, feet wet–and then just has fun.
I love this.
Love the metallic kicks… your child, alright!
She’s so sweet! I too am ga-ga over her shoes. Her entire outfit is eye-catching, but what I love about it is that you still notice HER, and aren’t overwhelmed with all the crappe that tends to be all over a lot of children’s clothing. I too love to dress my kiddos cutely, but plainly, so that their own cuteness shines through.

Could you add a link to the Halloween mask contest? I need reminding and I’m sure I’m not alone.
Darling video, too!
I love her outfit! Gold baby shoes?! Fantastic!
I’ve only been to Chicago once, but I loved Crown Fountain!
sweet-baby-jesus! how CUTE!!!!!! i want her outfit ;)
I love how she looks at her shoes wondering if they are already wet and when she realizes they are, she steps in!
adorable!
Soooo cute!! It is such a nice age to see them exploring everything!
She is so beautiful. What is it about toddlers and water that makes them just that happy? Great shoes.
Oh Crown Fountain is our fave!!!

i love the ending:) splish splash splish plash. there she goes.
She is amazing.
You can practically see her little mind working- looking at her reflection & her amazement at having wet hands and feet! Love her dainty walk and how she holds her wet hands out in front of her- too cute.
she’s a real cutie! it’s been fun watching her grow. :-)
Like everyone else, I love her!
So sweet, so adorable. To the ninth degree.
oh my goodness, how sweet. and of course the outfit is awesome…what a little sweetie.
I love E’s little cloth diapered bum. We are BumGenius fans what brand do you all use?
So chic and so cute!
