Day 59: Happy Baby

How cute is this picture?!?! You have to admit, you just LOVE the drool!

Day 58: My Toesies

Eliza has just discovered her toes and now she LOVES them. Sometimes when she isn't really trying her toes will go straight up in the air and then she is surprised and just has to touch them. We try to make her suck on the big toesies but she doesn't really like it. Surprise, surprise!

Day 57: Mirror Image

Eliza loves her activity mat... especially the mirror!

Day 56: Thanks

Until I had Eliza I never realized how generous my friends and ward members were. I never really understood making a meal for someone. I didn't know why you did it or how you would even know to do it. When I had Eliza our ward brought meals for a week after we got home from the hospital. And when I got pnemonia my friend Ronnie insisted on bringing dinner. At first you don't think you need it but then you realize that it sure is nice.

I was talking with my friend Jenny about receiving meals and we both decided that we would like to have meals delivered to us EVERY day!

Well when one of my other friends asked to bring her son over because her husband had to go into the hospital for an emergency out patient surgery I said, "Totally!"  As her son was hanging out with Eliza, Ellie and myself the thought finally came to my mind "I need to make them dinner!" As I scrambled through my cupboards I located 5 very unrelated items (at least in my mind) and decided to call my mom. Of course my mom made a delicious meal out of those 5 ingredients and I delived it later that night. At first my friend said she didn't need it but by the time I brought it over she couldn't have been happier at the sight of the meal.

That is the day it finally clicked for me. That is what womanhood is all about, and what Relief Society is about. Now I am always looking for a reason to make someone dinner or have someone over!

Day 55: Modeling a new bow

My aunt asked me if I could make a bow for her to give to a girlfriend of hers and of course I was happy to make one for her! I love making bows and just wish I knew more about the different types of bows. One can learn I suppose...

Well, I decided to try out the finished product on Eliza and she gave me this ADORABLE smile... what a CHEESER!

Day 54: Best of Friends

Ellie and Eliza are definitely just that... the best of friends!

It is so cute to watch these two interact with one another. When Ellie licks Eliza's hands, she giggles uncontrollably and when Eliza tries to pet Ellie which really means pulling her hair, Ellie is so gentle and kind. Hopefully these two sweet girls will ALWAYS be best friends!

Day 53: Happy 5 Months Eliza!

 

Can Eliza already be 5 months old! That is half of a pregnancy. It's kind of weird how you measure EVERYthing to the length of a pregnancy after you have a baby. What could I ever have compared time to before?? 

Anyway, Eliza is starting to sit, well trying to sit. She can do it for a few seconds and then topples over. We are working on it though. And the weird thing about it is that she hasn't rolled over yet. Don't worry though from everything I have read, it is pretty normal. 

Well, Miss Pretty you sure are becoming your own little personality!
