11 months going on 14 years old, here we are! anchor dress from this brand | milestone cards | similar chair This month I know I said Eleanor was BUSY in her 10 month update... What's a stronger word for "busy"? E is on the move, crawling quickly and then pulling herself up on everything. I finally put cabinet locks on everything at her level.
