Eliza just learned how to roll over all by herself, from back to front. It’s the culmination of weeks of serious effort, but now she’s doing it like it’s no big deal. I caught her doing it in the crib this morning while she was supposed to be taking a nap. Now that she can, it’s literally all she wants to do. You put her on her back to play and in three seconds she’s over on her front. Over and over again. Ten or so rounds of this and she gets exhausted and cries because she needs to rest. Poor thing doesn’t know her limits yet. But she knows rolling is a lot of fun!!!

Eliza took her first bite of food today! Mushy rice cereal, mixed with formula…yum! We weren’t sure if she’d know what to do, but she saw the spoon coming, opened her mouth wide, rolled it around, and swallowed. Turns out she is great at eating (just like mom and dad!). She seemed to really dig it.

Seems like only yesterday I was typing that she was four WEEKS old. Good grief, where is the time going?

She’s working on rolling over (can’t quite do it yet), started babbling a week or so ago, and is still laughing/giggling up a storm. She has also grown a lot of hair this week, believe it or not. Her new favorite thing is sitting up with help. She likes that angle on the world much better than lying down. She is amazing with her hands now and her head is quite steady. Our little girl is growing up!

This is Ellie trying to “kiss” her cousin Parker…she’s not quite figured it out yet, but knows that it’s hilarious when Mom and Dad kiss her. So anytime you bring her close to your face, she just opens her mouth up wide like she’s trying to take a bite of your cheek.

So either she’s trying to kiss you, or she’s a zombie. I’ll keep everyone informed one way or the other.

Eliza, thanks to Titi Chrysty, is geared up for summer. How cool is she with the shades?

Jason is on his first trip away from home since Eliza was born. I know he’s missing her. She’s missing him, too. He’s usually the one who gives her baths, but yesterday I had to do it. I think she was a little confused.

She’s sleeping like crazy now that all of our company is gone. She was out like a light at 10:15 last night and slept until 7:30 this morning! That’s a new Eliza record!

Friends Tim and Brian came down from Ohio for a few days, so Eliza got to meet yet more people! She and Tim have the same attention span and bubbly personality, so they got along great!

Here is Eliza with her cousins Kelsi and Drevin, whom she met for the first time a few days ago. Everyone fell in love with “little E,” as my family calls her. She seemed to have a great time, too, but was totally exhausted by the time they left!
