5 Months Old

On February 8th Eliza turned 5 months, or as they say Day of Life one hundred and fifty two! She's accomplished A LOT of growing in the last month. She's now up to 6lbs 5ounces and rapidly getting too big for her preemie clothes! The true test of her growing has been since her last surgery - whether her digestive tract would get it together enough to let her absorb enough calories since she wasn't able to do this before. And the answer is a definite yes! She's been averaging about an ounce a day! :)




Daddy's little girl.



Practicing tummy time on Mom. 




Family portrait before Eliza's surgery.



My favorite thing - a nap on anyone's shoulder!




Deciding to try and eat a finger since everyone seems to be slow on the bottles around here! Can you see the beginnings of fuzz on my head??




Catching a nap wearing mom's favorite hat! 



About 10 mins before having to get the NG tube put back in :(... looking like a porcelain doll.

    LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to see all the pics!! Where can I get my girls adorable hats like your Fashion Queen's? :) The family pic is just priceless, too. SOOO glad to hear you've got a little fuzzy chubster to deal with now. :)))) What a great way to start my day- thank you for the update! (I've got more clothes for you, too!)
    Love and hugs,

    Aaaah.... I LOVE the pics of her. Thanks for posting them so we can see how absolutely adorable she is and how much she is growing. She is so precious! In the family portrait she has the cutest little smirk on her face. Love it! Happy Valentine's Day!

    Eliza looks so good! She is getting so big! And I even think I saw some rolls on her little hands/wrists. She's beautiful!

    Yeah, what a cutie pie. I love the pictures of her room too and the rememberances of Oliver and Charlotte. You are exactly where you are supposed to be and doing such good work. This might sound trite, but my advice? Go take a walk outside somewhere, Duke Gardens maybe, take in some deep breaths and enjoy thoughts of your wonderful little miracle! You deserve to have some moments of peace and reflection and the energy you create doing that will come back to Eliza tenfold!!

    She is getting so big! Go Eliza!! She looks adorable in all of those pictures. I just love all the hats and headbands you have for her. Where do you get them all? Remi needs some for when they have their playdate she can be like her friends ELiza and Claire. Sounds like things are going well. Can't wait to see more pics and hear more good news :)
