Feliz cumpleanos a Eleanor!

We've been "bad" for a few weeks now, but the reign of terror officially began one year ago today. One year ago we drove to the hospital while the Bengals were getting the crap kicked out of them on Monday Night Football. One year ago we were up all night waiting for our little visitor to make an appearance. One year ago Emily had to fight to stay awake when she was giving birth. One year ago I got to walk into the waiting room and announce to our families that we had a little girl. It hasn't always been the easiest year or the most fun year, but it's easily the best year of our lives. Eleanor is without a doubt the best person we have ever met. Much better than you, that's for sure.

Here is a collection of pictures from the 2nd of each month of her life. If we didn't take a picture on that day, I tried to get the next closest one. It's not the best collection of pictures, but it's a year in the life of Eleanor. Enjoy...a-holes.
