6 Month Appointment

 Little bit had her 6 month appointment yesterday and everything seems to be going well! She is growing right along her growth curve and the Dr. said she is pleased with how she is doing. Dr. Matthias also go to see more of her personality because she was feeling better. At the doctor, she was flirting with the male nurse and was giving away a lot of smiles.

 Poor thing had to get 4 shots, but took them like a champ. Michael was watching her face when they stuck her and he said she look 'terribly offended'. She didn't cry for too long.

In the afternoon, I had to get a picture with my girl! She has been a trooper. As the night went on, however, she started to develop a fever and act like she wasn't feeling well.

That brings us to today. She woke up with a fever and ran one most of the day. She is the saddest little site when she isn't feeling well, although mom and dad do get way more snuggles. We haven't been feeding her solid food while she's been sick, so tonight I thought giving her water for the first time might be a good restart. Above is the video for her having a sippy cup for the first time. Notice that by the middle of it, she tries to be Ms. Independent. I don't know where she gets that ;)

We're Back!

Hat to a new outfit. Coming soon :)

 Yesterday, we went to the Dr. just to make sure everything was ok with our little lady. Her dr. said it is likely that she is just fussy while the cold works its way through her system. Thankfully her ears looked great, so no infection here!

 Over the night, Eliza woke up several times, so I am one tired mommy. Hopefully when she is feeling better and crawling, she'll sleep better. Each time I go in during the night, she is practicing on her hands and knees.

 When she woke up this morning, she has been giving more smiles and talking, so I think she is getting back to herself.

My living room is one big baby wreck! There are toys everywhere. I have them spread out all over the rug so that she has something to move toward. Between rolling, scooting and her little knee-hop thing, she is getting to the toys she wants! She is so much fun <3

Not 100%

Saturday and Sunday, Eliza had her first fever. Although her fever has been gone since Sunday night, she doesn't seem 100% yet. I am sure the nurses at her Dr. think I am crazy, but we are going to get her to feeling completely well again :) She has an appointment today at 4, so hopefully we'll get some answers.

Crawling update: She has learned that her knees move :) Any day!

Oh, what fun

Kitty cat ears

  Eliza and I were walking through Target, and I had to stop by their dollar section to see if I needed anything. Well, turns out I didn't need anything, but I got some cute photos :) Notice, she does not look impressed with these!

Pumpkin!

 Michael, Eliza and I are going to the Pumpkin Patch this weekend, so I think I am going to go back and get this one.

A little witch

Since they are only a dollar, I may get all 3 of them!

Eliza's Half-Birthday flower from Daddy

 Since yesterday was Eliza's Half-Birthday, Michael brought her a flower home.  And, he brought me the flowers below. He is so cute... I think we'll keep him ;)

6 Months Already!

I know I say this every time, but I can't believe it is going this quickly! I blink and she is a whole month older. I absolutely love the big personality she is developing and how much fun she is to play with.

 I am amazed at how happy of a baby she is (now that her tummy is better). She is always smiling, telling me stories or singing me a song. Now don't get me wrong, she has her moments :)

 One of my favorite expressions of hers right now is one where she scrunches her nose and breathes in and out of her nose quickly. She does it when she is being held and is excited. Silly girl <3

Progress Report #3

 We are so close in the bedroom! The floor has been painted with the epoxy, the windows get changed tomorrow and the floor trim will be put in soon :)

The office, however, has a long way to go. I am still cleaning this room from sanding. The drywall is in and mudded, though. Still need to primer, paint and do the floor. This room is getting new windows tomorrow, too.

Bed before

We were given a bed from my Uncle Todd and Aunt Angie when we were married. It is a very nice bed with lots of curlies and very sturdy. Since the bedroom is so small down there, we have decided to make a few modifications to make the fit a little better. We took off the side arm things, took off the top curlies and are painting it.

We'll see how it goes :)

Days From Crawling

Happy Girl while mom reorganizes the kitchen

 Let's be real, no one reads what I write. You all just like to see picture of Eliza. I get it! So, today, I will do just that :)

"I'm hiding"

"Here mom, I'll help with that"

"These sweet potatoes are pretty good, dad"

"I helped"

This is her "I'm going to grab that if I get closer" look

Yesterday and today, Eliza has been doing two new things in the area of forward movement. One is above. She does a pike position, then straightens out to move forward. Looks like too much work if you ask me. The other is that she can make it to hands-knees, but doesn't know what to do when she gets there. We are just days away from her figuring it out. HELP!
