8 months with Eloise.

To say Eloise has been on the move this month is definitely an understatement. Within the space of a few weeks, she has taught herself to sit, crawl with ease, stand and even dance. Our little baby girl can not resist a catchy tune and will sway back and forth as long as it is playing.

Meanwhile, Hugo's vocabulary is multiplying faster than mosquitoes on a hot night (which we are getting plenty of). His ability to express himself is improving in leaps and bounds at the moment. Hopefully this will continue to lead to less whinging from him, a habit that is becoming truly exhausting.

It is adorable of course to see Hugo delight in Eloise's daily improvements and ask to play with her. He laughs when she is being cheeky and cries out "Eloiiiiiise" when she is messing up his toys or chewing his shoes. She continues to think he is the very best thing since sliced bread, or in her case, mashed avocado.

I packed up my last market for the year yesterday which I am happy to say was a great success, turning my first profit as a craft-preneur. I am now giving myself a couple of months to decide how to continue on this adventure with a probably return to my market stall in March. I need to do a lot of thinking, designing and planning in the next few weeks.

Chris is almost done with work for the year as well. We'll be driving to Albury for Christmas on Wednesday at the crack of dawn. We are planning a super early departure to try and avoid traffic and hopefully have children sleeping in the back for the first few hours. We are both feeling nervous about the long car trip since Eloise is proving a rather unhappy passenger. We will see but in any case we are both looking forward to Chris' break.

At the same time my family festival continues with both Paul & Marc (+Sabina) joining us in Albury for a few days. It's just a shame we'll be farewelling Mothe + Lolo tomorrow after a four week stay that went by far too quickly.

Eloise's eight month and Hugo's 33rd was busy, fun and filled with family. Let's see what the next one brings...
