Merry Christmas

Fourth Month

16-17 Weeks Old:

I can't believe Eliza is almost 4 months old. She started sleeping through the night when she was about 3 months old and most nights are good. The last week or so she kept waking up and wouldn't go back to sleep, even if I put her pacifier in. I started giving her an extra bottle in between dinner and bed and she has been sleeping through the night again. She is SUCH a big eater!

Here are some poses of our happy girl.

One night after running an errand, I came home and lifted up the blanket covering Eliza's car seat, and the blanket that I usually have folded in a tube to cushion her head had come a little unfolded and looked like this. She reminded me of a little Cleopatra and I had to take a picture. She's giving me her lopsided grin here.

15-16 Weeks Old:

Here is our little girl in the morning.
She is always so happy to see me when I come in to get her.
She is playing with her little lion toy here.

She loves to stretch, too.

She's ready for her nap.

14-15 Weeks Old:

Josh and I celebrated our 8th Anniversary November 10th. When we got married, I had a plan to take an anniversary picture each year because I thought it would be so fun to see how our kids changed each year. We finally got to take a picture with a kid in it! :-D

This was one of my baby outfits.
It shows Eliza's chunky little legs pretty good.

She is such a beautiful, happy baby.

I never pose her hands like this...
it's just one of the ways she likes to hold her hands.

13-14 Weeks Old:

Our little princess smiles all the time now.

Morning is still her favorite time when she smiles the most.

This is what Eliza's daddy calls her "dirty look".So happy in her swing...

Has she grown like a weed or what?

She doesn't cry as much during Tummy Time anymore.
