Eliza's Library

Several family members have mentioned that it might be nice to have a list of Eliza's books. So here it is, Eliza's current holdings listed alphabetically by title. We will update this list as her library grows and have created a link to it on the side of the page so it can be found easily.

A cute video of Eliza's newest trick--standing almost unsupported. She's changing so fast!!!

Teeth and wagons and colds, oh my!

Happy Valentine's Day!!

These pictures are from a playgroup at one of Eliza's friends' houses. Her mom used to run a home daycare, so she has pretty much the best playroom in the entire world, complete with full-size chalkboard and tons of seasonal decorations!

So much has happened in Eliza's life in the past few weeks. In late January, she came down with her first bad cold, leading her and Mommy to be quarantined for almost two weeks! During that time, her first two teeth (the bottom center two) came in, and Mommy's friend Alex visited. Eliza apparently has decided that Alex is the coolest person in the world, because her very entry into a room elicits immediate and unstoppable laughter and huge smiles. Here are some pictures of them together:





The other huge development in Eliza's life is that she is getting more and more mobile everyday. She scootches all over the place on her butt, and using a push-toy she can walk herself (and even some cargo!) around the apartment in no time. She can also "cruise" (walk holding onto furniture, the wall, etc) with the best of them. We sense that toddlerdom is coming quickly!

Here is Eliza, on February 2nd, when she was first learning to use her wagon to walk to Alex.


And here is Eliza last Sunday (just 8 days later!), transporting her favorite cargo--Mathias!
