3 Months


Eliza is officially 3 months old. Craig gave her an amazing blessing on November 1st. We were so worried that she would cry through the whole thing (since she's so good at that), but she was perfect! We had lots of family and friends in town so we had them all over for a dinner at my parents house. We're so grateful for such great family and friends who came to support us.
It was a beautiful day!


Here are a few things to remember...
1. She is finally starting to be content on her back
2. She's been liking her bumbo lately
3. She loves being naked
4. Still has no hair
5. She has giggled just a few times- very exciting
6. She's sleeping in her crib now- but waking up every hour again!
7. She still spits up an insane amount all day every day
8. She loves hiking in her baby bjorn
9. She's starting to enjoy her baths

10. She coos and caws and we can't get enough!
11. She's starting to grab at things (mostly my hair)
but sometimes she manages to get her binky back in her mouth
12. She still thinks she needs to be held all day long

We are absolutely in love with everything about her!

Halloweenie
















Eliza was part ghost part ballerina. (as Craig would say).















On Monday, some friends and I went to Thriller. Jada was part of the opening show. It was soooo cute! I just love watching Jada sing! It was a nice girls night and a well needed break.














On Halloween I wasn't feeling well, but it was Eliza's first so we had to dress up! I was baking/cooking all day with my mom getting ready for Eliza's blessing the next day. But when we were finally finished we headed to Craig's parent's to see the cousins dressed up and to "trick-or-treat" for a few minutes.















We were cracking up taking these pictures with the cousins. Eliza was sitting there by herself! You can tell she slowly started leaning forward- but she lasted quite a while! Cousin Barrett is only 3 weeks younger than her. It is so fun spending time with him and watching them both grow!
I always wanted to marry a {Cowboy}...
























I just never thought I really would!

I sure love this "Gay"
{Cowboy} and there are plenty of reasons...
He loves our {Baby Girl} more than anything. He makes me {Breakfast} every weekend. He makes me {Laugh} every night (I'm talking eyes watering, stomach hurting laugh... I love it). He does the {dishes}. He makes me have {Me} time. He {Washes} my car. He watches my {Chick Flicks} with me. He keeps me {Emotionally} grounded. He makes {hard} things so simple. He {pampers} me when I'm sick. He gives awesome {Massages} .. listen to me... {Awesome}. He helps me so so much with {Eliza} I seriously don't know what I would ever do without him. He {Pushes} me when he knows I need to be pushed. He makes my {life} wonderful!
