Wow - Eliza was 2 months old yesterday - soooo hard to believe. She is doing GREAT and we of course adore her. Here are a few of her latest ....
Last week she was 8lbs 4.5oz, she is alert and able to focus her eyes on things, we have seen a few smiles and coos, she loves her swing, loves the fresh air on the porches and at the lake, she is feeding about 3.5-4oz every 3 hours and has even discovered her pacifier and working on her thumb. She has grown out of her preemie clothes and fits nicely in the newborn sizes. She has even been able to wear some of her precious smocked dresses. She looks like the baby doll I always wanted. I think I enjoy playing dress up more than she does.
We go to the doctor on Tuesday for her 2 month check-up. Hopefully the good news will continue. Cynthia comes to help me every Tuesday so I asked her to get here in time to hold MY hand when ELIZA gets her shots ... poor baby!
Eric and I have made the decision that I will not be going back to work. I will probably help him out 1-2 hrs. a day from home. I am doing my best to be "Baby Wise" in an effort to have more of a scheduled day to juggle both but so far we are not there yet.
We went to the farm the weekend - Eric got another turkey and Eliza, Suzy, Grandma and I went to the lake ... we all had a nice time. Above are some recent pictures ... enjoy!

Please tell Eric that there will NOT be any stuffed turkeys in Elizas nursery ;o) Looks like you guys are doing great! Lots of love from the queen city
Jaime - hahaha! I'll tell him. He walked around the neighborhood yesterday showing off the feet and beard ... good grief - you never know who you might end up falling in love with and marrying ;)
I am so happy to hear from you guys and see more pics of that sweet baby girl. Sounds like you have it under control, mama!! She is growing and getting so big...8, 9 lbs is a BIG deal for us with preemie babes! Love the updates!

Looking great, all of you! Keep up with the pictures, you'll stare at them in amazement when she's over a year old. Love from Charleston!
She is soooo beautiful - but of course you already know that! Anne told me you had a blog a couple of months ago (probably a couple of weeks before Eliza arrived)so I have been able to "keep up" with all your recent excitement! I stopped by a few weeks ago on the way to my monthly bible study (which happened to be in your neighborhood)to drop off a little present for Eliza but you were out and about. It is still riding around in my car...one day, before her first birthday, I might see you to give it to her! Until then...I will have to be satisfied with the cute pics and updates:) Take care!!!
