3 months old!!

Three months with this squishy little bundle.  We're basically obsessed with her.  Everyone is!  The second Sadie gets home from school, she runs to Eliza and picks her up.  George is constantly up in her face saying  "hi wiza."  If I'm holding her and he can't see her, he'll say "I wanna say hi to Wiza.  I can't see Wiza!!"  And if she's sleeping, George will announce to Jack, "shhh, Wiza's sweeping. Be quiet Jack!"  Jack has always been the "playing it cool" older brother.  He wasn't very interested in George when he was born and is about the same with Eliza.  Then there's Chase and me looking at pictures of her when she's asleep, because we just can't get enough!!

She's still a pretty terrible sleeper.  I can get her to take a longer nap if she's swinging in her swing, but she's got a 3 am clock in her system that goes off EVERY NIGHT!! I guess that just means more snuggle time for me!!  The good thing about her, is that once she's been fed, she usually goes right back to sleep.  It's me that has a hard time sleeping again.  Once I'm up, I'm awake for a few hours.  It's really annoying.  At least we know it's temporary.  It better be.  But I know I'll miss our middle of the night snuggles.  I could seriously just stare at her little face all night long.  

Especially when she starts dreaming.  Sometimes she smiles and giggles in her sleep.  I would LOVE to know what she's dreaming about!!

This might be slightly x-rated, but Chase and I thought it was pretty funny that I leaked a heart for our little Valentine baby.  I'm pretty sure no one reads this blog anyway, so I don't really care if it's kind of gross.  Just human secretions here!  You're welcome nobody! 

When she isn't taking a shower with Dad, we try to remember to bath her!  She loves hanging out in her little sink bathtub.  That makes 4 kids that have enjoyed this blue piece of plastic!  I'd say we got our money's worth.

I looooove the way she smells after a bath.

She's still a snuggle bug.  I really dislike babies growing up and not cuddling anymore.  

Right now, I'm soaking it up!

Sadie wanted us to bring Eliza to her class for her birthday.  

You better believe she showed her off!! 

And then when she came home from school, she rocked that baby girl to sleep.  What would we do without Sadie?!

While the kids are at school, it's just the three of us.  We get along quite swimmingly.  George will sometimes take Eliza's pink bah blanket when his is missing, but she never seems to mind...for now.  

Basically the rest of us leave for church wearing whatever is clean.  Liza is a different story.  I can't even tell you how much fun I have dressing this little peanut.  She's wearing a dress that I wore as a baby above.  Big sis Sadie wore it too, along with the stripe one below.  It's like having a real live doll, that eats every 3 hours, poops, pees, and screams periodically throughout the night!  YES!!

Abs of steel! 

We love watching her big stretch after we unswaddle her after a nap.  Sadie always asks to get her out of the crib, just so she can watch Eliza's arm fly up and legs stretch out once she's released from the "burrito."

We've gotten her to laugh out loud a few times.   Jack turned his back to her and when he jumped around to face her, she couldn't help but giggle.  It's the best sound ever!! 

This baby is pure joy.  I love her so much.  It's been three month of heaven on earth (even if I can barely remember any of it:-). Never grow up sweet Eliza Jane!!

Totally and completely smitten!!
