1 Month Birthday Today!

Aunt Sarah's milestone is more significant, but one month ain't so bad either! Here's what we've been up to...

Got ourselves a new wrap making carrying Eliza around much easier. This of course coincided with the sun disappearing since apparently we moved to Seattle instead of Boston.

Trying to get more pics of Cam and her daughter. Naptime!

And bathtime. Eliza looks less like an old man in this picture in her robe than the first time we posted one.

Last weekend Dao came to visit which was lots of fun.

By the way, for the next two pictures, check out in #1 that we are using something called the snotsucker. And in #2, love her socks that look like shoes!

 Not only did Dao's visit mean Eliza got to have fun with Dao, but also we got to benefit from a) her extensive knowledge from nannying and b) her skills with the camera and touching up photos! So some of these will probably be among the better pics we've posted....it wasn't due to our artistic touch!

3 Week Old

Has it been that long already? Eliza and Dad wear brown outfits. Maybe it's just me but Dad looks tired. And like he hasn't showered in a while.

Finally, some sleep!

Mom needs to make more appearances in this blog!

Grammy came for another visit to help Dave make the transition back to the consulting world.

Always room for tummy time! Eliza seems better at it than her dad.

The littlest Jumbo...you know Eliza will be wearing this when she makes her next appearance on campus!

A visit from Belmont

Today we had a great visit from Gary, Hannah, and Isaac, who brought us our day's entertainment as well as some great baby goodies.

I think we can safely predict that starting only ~11 months behind, that Eliza will never ever ever be as tall as Isaac

Eliza got in some good tummy time as well in the afternoon. She's definitely getting stronger and focusing her eyes more. Unfortunately, Mom and Dad forgot to comb her hair after her bath giving her a sweet punk look.

Aunt Beth Comes To Say Hello

On our own just the 3 of us, we've still been lucky to have visitors to come meet Eliza. Today it was Dave's Aunt Beth!

Eliza also had her first chance to wear her own clothing line, courtesy of her Grandpa J.

Nice socks too! Later in the night after a long day we got her all swaddled up to watch baseball...and hopefully prepare for a good night's sleep!

The Rest of the Fam...and Her First Gentleman Caller

A couple of illnesses had kept some of the family from coming to visit until Eliza was 10 days old. When they could finally come for a visit, they were able to bring Uncle Shennell too! The Uncles were especially careful with the little one...

The next day, Tin and Ian came for a visit, and we had to make sure that Eliza was looking her best for Ian!

I think they are going to be friends for a long time!

Grammy Comes To Visit

After a couple days of fun alone, Grammy came to visit to make sure we were eating, and to give us some AM relief to catch up on sleep...much needed!

Also much needed was the bath that Grammy helped give Eliza...her hair was a shade lighter afterwards!

The fun continued, with a visit from Eliz, and a game of Go Fish

Eventually we won't have to swaddle her for her to enjoy her bouncy chair!
