First Day at the Beach

Yesterday we took Eliza into Lake Michigan for the first time. She loved it!



Let's get some sunscreen on you, kiddo!


Ok, here goes!


The water is very warm... a perfect day for a first swim!



Here are a few more pictures from recent days:

Maxin' and Relaxin' with Eliza

Eliza figured out how to make a new noise -- a coughing/choking noise!


What Could Eliza Be Watching??...

...Why, the Red Sox, of course!!

Some Pics, Another Video, Tummy Time

Well, happy to report Eliza is doing wonderfully. Still sleeping extremely well. She's starting to grab hold of things with great purpose. She's experiencing the early stages of teething, which makes her want to suck and gnaw on everything she can get her gums on. Mommy put her in the Baby Bjorn facing forward on a walk the other day and Eliza loved it. She's done it twice now -- she checks out the whole neighborhood, eyes wide, arms and legs flopping. Eliza is just wonderful...we feel so blessed.

Just Hangin' Around

Here's a longish video of Eliza, taken today:

New Sounds

It's been a long time since our last post! Too long.

Well, Eliza is now 3 months old, and growing into the most incredible little girl. In the last day or so she has started experimenting with some new sounds. She gets such a kick out of hearing them, and clearly thinks they sound really cool. Mom and Dad think they're hilarious (and of course beautiful) sounds. We liken them to the sounds a pterodactyl might make. (Yes, we had to look up how to spell 'pterodactyl.') Here is a little video of Eliza's new sounds (and Mom and Dad trying to coax them out of her...)

While in Connecticut...

Eliza met quite a lot of people on our trip to Connecticut for her dad's graduation! She had lunch dates with some very interesting people...

Here's Eliza with her friends, Nandini and Khurram:



And with her cousins, Steve and Dawn:
