E is for....

E is the first letter of many words & many names. In fact today, Charlotte & I went shopping and purchased this to add to the decor of the girls room at the Valentine home:

this E stands for ELOISE

It's official! Baby Valentine #2 has a name & we love it : ) Robby actually picked the name Eloise when we were on vacation early last summer & it took some time for me to agree that it was adorable. We feel like it has the same sweet, charming & antique sound as Charlotte does.

Eloise means multiple things as any of you who have looked at baby name meanings know information doesn't always match.....

Here are a couple we found:

• 
  
  famous warrior



• 
  
  healthy & wide

We find it humorous that Charlotte means petite & womanly which seems like the opposite of Eloise ; ) Also humorous, Charlotte is definitely not petite at this point in her life, but is a healthy little girl!

We are still discussing possibilities for a middle name but think we have it narrowed down to a few.

Eloise is getting bigger and crazier with her movement throughout the day but mostly during the night. She wakes me up around 5 with her morning exercise routine..... it is absolutely amazing. She is loved dearly by her big sister who is more interested each day with the growing bump. Charlotte has attempted to say "Eloise" a few times. It has come out as "eee-ooo-sss" & "ee-oos." Can't wait to hear it when she says it to her for the first time when she is out of my belly : ) Speaking of that growing belly, I feel like I am starting to waddle a little bit, but I like waddling so that is great!

Eloise Valentine, what a sweet name you have. We can't wait to meet you this summer & will continue praying that God grows your body healthy & strong.....and wide ; ) We love you.
