Eliza– 2 Months Old

Time is flying with Eliza in our home.  Eliza is now almost 10 weeks old, but I took these photos at her 2 month mark.  I’ve just been too busy to post. This adorable outfit is from my sister.  She brought this out when she came to visit a couple weeks ago!  We love it!  Eliza is packing on the pounds.  I love finding new rolls of chub on her just about every day. At her 2 month check up she weighed almost 12 pounds and was 75th percentile in all measurements (perfectly proportioned).   Yep…she’s still adorable and her chubby cheeks are delicious.

Ahhh this first year is sooo amazing in everyway… thank you for letting me relive each moment with you :) The baby rolls are the best thing ever!!

Eliza–1 Month

I just cannot believe how quickly time flies.  Eliza just passed the one month mark.  It’s sad how quickly they grow.  We are already seeing her outgrown some of her newborn clothesSad smileThis past month as been one of the most rewarding of my life.  Of course, taking a care a newborn has not been too easy, but Eliza sure is a great little baby (we are very lucky),  Sadly, I feel that Eliza is growing so fast that my camera has not been able to keep up.  Hoping to do better.  For now, here are some images from the past week.  She has really started to develop an adorable personality.  Her facial expressions just melt my heart.

She is a doll!!! I just love her!

Jessica Passal - March 8, 2011 - 8:43 am

I am going to kidnap your baby in the night. She is so adorable.

Glenda - March 8, 2011 - 8:30 am

Awww… she is such a beautiful little thing John!

Eliza–8 Days

Eliza is quickly adjusting to the sound of dad’s camera shutter clicking away.  She has been such a joy in our home.  Eliza has made the transition for mom and dad a lot easier by only waking up once a night for a feeding.  Still feels surreal that she is ours.  I debated whether to limit photos of Eliza to our family blog or to post them here, but It appears that the no readers had any objections to me posting images on my business blog. : – )   Here are a few shots from earlier this week.  PS. My new favorite scent is baby, I LOVE it!!!

Eliza is so sweet! She looks completely different with her eyes open! She shows a personality! Thanks for sharing the photos. They are great!

Kristen Drufke - February 16, 2011 - 10:17 am

LOVE! I love the last three. I can’t believe she’s already 8 days old.

Crystal Jones - February 16, 2011 - 9:10 am

John and Emily, she is totally adorable!!!! Yes, please keep posting these precious photos so I too can get my baby fix, since I an not having more. LOVE THEM!!!!

Jenn - February 16, 2011 - 8:37 am

John and Emily, she is so beautiful and where did all that dark hair come from? Keep posting these pictures cause I just can’t get enough! Cute!

Glenda - February 16, 2011 - 8:14 am

Awwww John she is soo precious and you are so right there is no better scent than the “new baby” scent. In fact… Bath and Body used to make a scent like that and it was ohhh so close, I used to put it on my toddlers :) Post away… getting my “baby fix”!!

Drumroll Please…

After 17 hours of labor, our precious baby girl has finally arrived.  Emily is doing great and so is our baby girl.  Even though I’m big fainter, I had absolutely no problems helping with the delivery and cutting the umbilical cord, it was amazing!!  During the course of the entire pregnancy, we have found it difficult to come up with a name.   We have batted around names for awhile now and have spent the past 23 hours trying to figure out what to call her.  So after much debate and contemplation we have finally given our daughter a name.  Emily and I are so proud to present to my blogging world:

Here are some images from her first 24 hours of life!!!!  Hope nobody minds, but this will probably not be the last time I blog photos of Eliza. I anticipate there will be about a bajillion more photos of her during her first year.

John and Emily, Congratulations! The photos are priceless. I love how REAL your newborn shots are. So beautiful. Can’t wait to “watch her grow” some more. (P.S. I was just telling someone the other day how much I love the name Eliza and how its interesting that it hasn’t been used more. It’s a timeless and truly beautiful name.)
