What?!

May 30, 2008 | Filed Under Uncategorized 

* The bed linens are from Target… We can all gush now about how much we love Target, because you know it’s true. I, for one, am a Targetaholic.

Did I hear someone say I am five months old now? Boy, time sure does fly when you’re having fun! And I am. I can roll from my belly to my back – I am seriously proud of that.
I can say: “Dadadadadada” which Daddy thinks is me saying his name.

We’ll just keep it between you and me that I am saying no such thing…. K? My first word will, of course, be “Mama.” After all, she did push for nearly two and a half hours to bring me into this world.

I love to eat, ride in the Macpac, pull hair, and suck my thumb. I love my brother and sister, hearing my own voice, wind blowing in my face, and standing up ( With assistance. I know I am amazing and all, but seriously, I’m not quite that amazing. Yet.).

My favorite toy to chew on is Mama’s measuring spoons, but my yellow lion from Aunt Tarrah and Uncle Sam is a close second. My toes are quickly becoming a favorite too. It’s so cool how they just kind of appeared one day!

I am starting to break out the giggles. I have to be careful though, because once I really start, Mama will make me giggle all the time. And that’s exhausting, people. Besides, I have my figure to look after; if I start laughing too much I might develop some stomach muscles. And then I wouldn’t have my big tummy that Mama loves so much.
By the way, would someone please tell her to stop playing with my rolls. It tickles! And since we are on the topic of rolls… Mama is obsessed with mine. I know I have a lot, and they are cute and all, but seriously! She won’t stop kissing them!

Before I go, can we all just give a little “Whoo-hoo!” for my hair starting to finally grow in?! I can wear bows now!
It was getting pretty old to be called a boy everywhere Mama took me. My name is Eliza, not Elisha. Mama thought dressing me pink and purple might give people a clue, but apparently not. She gets a little bent out of shape over it all, but I try to be a good example and just smile.

There is a lot more wonderful stuff about me, I know this because Mama whispers it all in my ear, but I wouldn’t want to bore you. I’ll just wrap this up by saying:
Happy five months to me!!

(this is the part where you tell me how cute I am!)

    Not already is it? She is so sweet. It is going by too fast. Are you having anymore? So what are you and kids plans this summer? I have been asking everyone.

    Priceless!

    Do you make your bed everyday? I’m so impressed. I like your bedding too.

    She is so precious!!!! I used to love to kiss my little ones on the neck. They were so ticklish. Mine are now 31 and 28 years old. No nuzzling them on the neck now. Even my grandkids are too old for that. Sigh!

    Happy five months, precious little girl!! You are adorable, and I love the image of your mama kissing & tickling you until you giggle. I hope you keep bringing joy to your family ALWAYS!

  9. Michelle on May 31st, 2008 8:05 am

    She is SO adorable! Baby rolls are most definitely the best! Hope HAS hair and gets called a boy all the time…grrrrrr. Hmpf, some people.

    Your bedding is GORGEOUS!!

  10. Jenn on May 31st, 2008 8:20 am

    She is a cutie ,I wore pink and girly things on my first and she even had her ears done I thought maybe if people see little earrings they won’t keep calling her a boy….wrong ! Love the bedding !

    Extremely cute! Happy 5 months to your little angel.

  12. Ginger on May 31st, 2008 9:38 am

    Yes! Eliza you are extremely cute!!

    (I love the bed linens as well…We are in the process of redecorating Mal’s room in black/white/pink…she’d love this)

    Seriously… FIVE months! That went by too fast. She is an absolute beauty! What a lucky little girl to have a momma like you. :)

    Love your bedding… I have b&w in my room too. The twins crib will be in our room so I’m trying to find b&w crib bedding. :)

    She’s just so cute, Andrea. I look at that photo and it’s hard to believe Avery (3 months) will be so different in just two short months.

    Boy, those five months have gone by so fast!

  15. Amber on May 31st, 2008 1:13 pm

    She is beautiful! And so strong too! Look at her! I also love your bedspread! Where did you get it?

  16. Alycia on May 31st, 2008 6:25 pm

    She is so cute Andrea!! I love the bow and the look on her face!

    Oh, sweet Eliza Dove – I can’t wait to meet you someday! I hope that it’s not too long, so that you’re not too old for me to tickle your rolls or nuzzle under that double chin. Happy 5 months!

  18. Michelle on June 1st, 2008 9:27 am

    Happy 5 months! Giggles, and finding toes…such fun times! I’m looking forward to hearing Lucas’s first giggles…right now he has a big open mouth smile he does, just no sound coming out LOL

    Kayla had hair (not a lot, but still), was wearing a pink onesie with Princess on it, and a bagger at the commissary said “hey there little fellow…how old is he?” LOL

    Eliza is a really cute baby. Don’t you love it when they start to really do things and you get to see their personalities merge right before your eyes? Continue to enjoy your kids. They grow up way to fast.

  20. Emma on June 1st, 2008 4:29 pm

    Okay: Eliza, you are precious!!!

    :o )

  21. Tarah on June 1st, 2008 8:26 pm

    Eliza,

    I love this picture of you. How many tried did it take? When my mommy takes pictures of me she always ends up taking a million of them and then can’t pick which one she likes. I was wondering if your mommy did the same thing.

    A BIG “Whoo-hoo!” for growing hair! Mine is just starting to grow too. What is it with people thinking that we are boys just because we have no hair. Seriously do really look like a boy? No, I don’t think so. Well, it won’t be long before we both have long flowing lock, just like your big sister. I can’t wait!

    Oh and Happy 5 Months!

    Love,
    Jericho

    She is just so gorgeous!! Love the bow in her hair!

  23. Nene on June 3rd, 2008 8:23 am

    I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – She is gorgeous. Absolutely gorgeous.
