OMG Pictures!

I know, I am so behind on updates and pictures! So what have we been doing besides going to the pediatrician? (6 times already woa. At her weight check this morning she was a whopping 7 lbs 4.5 oz!)  We have been trying to enjoy the moments in between Eliza's meltdowns and feeding struggles. Luckily my parents came into town on Friday (and my mom is staying the week) so Glenn and I have got a couple breaks and had someone else helping to problem solve Eliza's feeding difficulties. We may, or may not, be making progress on that, but having my mom help makes a huge difference. :) One factor we have discovered is that Eliza is very sensitive to stimulation when eating. So when things are not going well turning off the lights and being silent seems to help some. Anyways, here's some pictures from our world lately:



Eliza's most favorite thing! Sometimes its the ONLY thing that will calm her down. I'm dreading the day it stops working!! 


Organizing the freezer with milk - those are gallon sized bags there. Think we have a little stored up? 



Eliza and Pasha getting acquainted. Eliza is making it clear who's the new boss in town. Pasha has been great with her actually. She gives her a sniff occasionally, goes to check when Eliza starts crying and is generally on her best behavior.


First walk through the neighborhood with Eliza.



She was passed out for the whole thing! 



Bath time at home. She is a fan! 


 

New hair bows!




Trying out a dress my mom wore when she was an infant. So pretty!



Love the Wubba Nub! Saves us a few headaches since it helps keep the paci in her mouth for a few moments at a time.


Cuddle time with Pops!


Eliza loves her Pops and Nana!


Getting to enjoy her first bottle in the great outdoors!



We drove out to the lake Sunday afternoon. We weren't there too long but the weather was beautiful and it was great to get out somewhere with Eliza besides the doctors. If sleeping equals happiness then Eliza had an amazing time!

  6. Moms make everything better, that I know for sure! You guys look like you're really getting the hang of things. She is so cute and expressive!!! Oh and when the swing quits working (which it will long before you're ready) it still "works" to put her in and pretend it still swings...Emmie hasn't figured it out yet and is still SO happy to sit it in and pretend to swing! Love!!!

  14. I love the picture of you guys, Eliza and the dog at the lake. To the lay person its just another happy family, to the rest of us it represents so much more...a difficult journey that has ended in a beautiful family. So glad you are enjoying time as a family despite all the craziness of the last month. Give that baby a kiss for me! Sara-Favorite NNP LOL
