Eliza Progresses!

This is the month where Eliza has gone from a little baby to a big baby. It seems like all of a sudden she has grown and progressed before my eyes! All of a sudden she can sit upright, crawl properly, has broken through her first bottom tooth, is babbling, can pull to a stand, is trying to cruise... where did the time go?! And she seems to have grown quite a bit, literally! She was so tiny for so long and now she seems so much bigger! She even fits into 9 months clothes despite being 8 months! She's still little but it definitely too long for her 6 month clothes now. Soon, she will be running along side her big brothers and sister!

Tim's christmas performance 3 yrs

We had our fair share of "Winter" performances this season. It started with Ashton's 1st grade performance. Yes, let's document it. I FORGOT (gasp) my "Mama" cam! The following Thursday was the daycare performance. Followed up by the following Thursday with Violet's preschool performance! My oh my! It's been busy!




As you can see, Tim is quite the character!

Watch Eliza Grow - 8 months

Wow! Miss Eliza is 8 months old. Let's see what she can do? Hmm, she can Army crawl and crawl properly but only does this for a few crawling steps. She loves to eat and prefers "real" food to her baby food despite not having any teeth yet. She is a "mighty might" according to her daycare teachers as she is so tiny but is moving all around her friends. She can climb up their little steps there and loves to play with all their toys. I'm not sure how big she is but she has to be over 17 pounds, maybe? She was 15 pounds, 3 ounces at her 6 months visit, so I think so as she is moving into her 6-9 month clothes! She is really attached to me, which is definitely different than the other kids. She just loves her mom. She's still nursing but definitely not all the time. She can pull to stand and babbles, Nananana. I'm sure my Mom will be excited about that one. She gets very excited and laughs at her siblings, especially Timmy. She is oh-so-close to sleeping through the night but when I let her cry it out, Violet wakes up which is usually around 430-5am! And who wants that when it's dark outside! Not this mama! I can't wait until she can sleep all the way through but she likes an early bedtime, usually at 630-7pm! She's a very happy girl in general, until she's not and she will let you know!
