8-9 Weeks Old
When we took Eliza home from the hospital, I had bought a "newborn" outfit for her to wear. It DROWNED her. Unfortunately, I only got a picture of her wearing the onesie in the hospital, but here are a couple of pictures for comparison. 1 week old and 2 months old:
Adorable
How could you not love a baby with a face like this???
She started to smile when she was about 2 months, but they were few and far between. We have tried and tried to catch a good one on the camera, but whenever we bring out either camera or video camera, she quits smiling and just stares at them.
This was my yellow dress from when I was a baby. Unfortunately, it was packed away in a box and I couldn't find it until Eliza was a little too big for it (the back top button is undone in these pictures). The embroidery on the front is of a little girl on the phone with the text, "What is it, Grandma?"
As I was taking Eliza's pictures, she put her hands up by her face kind of like she was on the phone. It was adorable. The last picture kind of shows how chunky she is!

This side profile shows what I call her "interested" look. She does this all the time. This picture also shows how thin her hair is getting. I don't see it fall out (in the tub, in her bed, etc), but it must be coming out somewhere. Plus, her head is growing so the hairs that are there are moving further apart which makes them look thinner...right??? :-D
7-8 Weeks Old
This is a good picture that shows her "sucking blister", which she was born with. Actually, the first one popped and fell off but there was another one right underneath it. I never even notice it, but people point it out all the time.

6-7 Weeks Old
She's too big for this frog outfit now (the feet were little frogs, it was so adorable)

Tired but refusing to sleep. She also loves to stare at things and gets this wide-eyed look.
Getting ready to cry and then crying "I'm ready for my nap!"
She always spits out her pacifier. This is while she's still happy--in a matter of seconds she gets frantic, moves her head back and forth looking for it and then starts to whimper or cry.
One night when I started to feed Eliza, she put her hand up and rested in on the bottle like "stop".
5-6 Weeks Old
Talking to Daddy.
This is a good picture that shows how big her cheeks and arms were starting to get
(and the rest of her is big as well).
This is how she always sleeps. On her side with her arms in front her her.
She loves her baths. This is right after she is done and all bundled up in her towel.
4-5 Weeks Old
Starting to fit much better in her car seat
Our Dainty Little Princess
The first picture is a good example of what I called her "bird mouth". It reminded me of a baby bird wanting to eat.
