I can hardly believe it - it seems like yesterday we were meeting her for the first time. Well its been a wonderful 6 weeks and we have loved most minutes of it - I thought I would be honest since you other mommies and dads know that after the initial "high" wears off the 3 AM feedings are a mental and physical struggle to stay awake - I can officially say that I don't think I have fallen alseep - of course would I know??
Eliza is so much fun - so alert and aware of her surroundings - I no longer have to beg her to eat which makes feeding time a whole lot less stressful. She is growing like a weed - although we don't go back to the doctor until May I have a feeling she is really packing on the pounds - or maybe ounces. We love her full cheeks, double chin and is even getting so "sweet meat" on her little legs. She seems to be able to maintain her body temp. which has been fun to see her not swaddled in 10 different blankets.
We went to the farm for the first time in a while this weekend - Suzy of of course loved it and I think Eliza enjoyed the fresh air on her face. Eric got a turkey and I got some sleep - all in all a great visit!
Attached are a few recent pictures ... I will describe a few since I don't know how to make a slideshow or put captions ...
- "Got Milk" -A Grandaddy Hardy feeding
- Pre-Garden Party Party - we were out of the house -showered and dressed by 10AM - a first for me - thanks to Cynthia (decided not to post this one when I saw how fat I looked)
- A few pics of Eliza in her favorite onesees that Kristin sent us - I don't know what I am going to do when she grows out of them - we wear them everyday!
Lots of love - Caroline and Eliza
