Happy Thanksgiving!

Long time no post! Here are some pictures from the last few weeks...

Eliza in Rochester with Grandma and Grandpa Galvin:



Eliza with Auntie Rachel:




Eliza in her high chair at home: she's a hungry little girl! She now eats lots of different fruits and vegetables, as well as tofu, turkey, yogurt, and cheerios. (11/20/07)


Hanging out with her friends (11/16/07):

Halloween with Eliza

Here's our little Cowgirl (takes after her Texan Mommy) on Halloween. The Banana is her friend Parker.



Eliza with her playgroup -- having a Halloween party!

I'm Bouncin'!

Mao and Daddy say "Hi, Eliza!"

Good Times Had By All

Eliza is growing up so fast! We're loving every minute of it.


She had a wonderful weekend with her Aunt Rachel...




She always loves horsin' around with Mommy:




She's becoming quite the little dancer, Daddy thinks!


What fun, to meet Dad's old friend Liz!


Hangin' out down by the lake...



Out for an afternoon coffee...

Sitting Up

Galvinizedbaby's most dedicated readers will remember how Dad's baseball-watching/reading/beer-drinking La-Z-Boy has been converted into a multipurpose baby feeder, rocker, and place to hang out with Eliza. Well Liza has now claimed it for her own recreational purposes:




Over the last week or two, Eliza has become adept at sitting up on her own:



And of course, she still loves horsing around with Mommy...

Touch Those Toes!

A quasi-action sequence w/ Dad:

First Bite!

Today Eliza enjoyed spending time with her Memsa...


...And tasting her first bite of food! Here is her first taste of sweet potato:

Part I:


Part II:


And one more pic, just for fun:

Busy Couple of Weeks!

Eliza has had a busy couple of weeks!

First, she saw lots of friends.

Eliza and Lindsey:


Eliza and Nandini:


Watch Nandini make Eliza laugh!


Eliza and Kevin (visiting Kevin and Jena in Milwaukee!):


Eliza dances with Daddy!


This past week, Eliza also went to her first Cubs game!

She rode the "El"...


And took in the sights along the way. Well, at least Dad did:

She saw lots of crazy Cubs fans:


And enjoyed the game, even from the nosebleed seats, and even though the Cubs lost (what else is new?):


The ride home was long, and Liza was tired:


All in all, a busy few weeks.

Oh, and one more thing: she started to learn to play piano!
