Coasters for breakfast!

There's a note hanging up at daycare that states, "Be sure to feed your child before bringing her to daycare" and there's a hand written addendum below it that reads, "A bottle is not breakfast."

I wonder how they feel about coffee table coasters? Because she loves to munch on them every morning while Daddy gets her ready to go. Although, honestly it does look much tastier than the baby food...

Eliza's new lounge chair!

We'll have to post some photos of Eliza hanging out in her chair at home, but here's a sneak preview of all that cuteness. She REALLY loves that chair.

Should we get it?

KyAnn has been eyeing this little chair for Eliza for a few weeks now. She had Daddy come in the store today to check it out, but it didn't matter. Eliza already decided we were getting it.

Chillin' at Anna's crib

Eliza went to daycare in her pajamas today, but not because Daddy is lazy. He is, but today is "jammy day"! So we dressed up E in her favorite mouse jams and too her to daycare.

Baby Anna's crib is just across the room, and Anna's mommy's office is just down the hall from Daddy's office. So the girls were hanging out together in the morning, just like their parents do before work each day.

Eliza and her puffs.

We've been having family dinners at the table, and E has joined right in....feeding herself! She's enjoying her cereal puffs, and has figured out how to pick them up and pop them into her mouth. Although she does it a whole lot faster when the camera isn't on her.

Eliza gets clappy happy.

Little E is learning all kinds of new stuff each day, so she takes a moment each afternoon to practice her new skills. Today we take a look at clapping practice.

Our baby has a baby!



We've become great advocates for adoption, and it's rewarding to see that rub off on Baby Eliza. This weekend she adopted her own baby, Cameron Ruby, who was born in the Cabbage Patch on June 3rd. So now our 8 month-old has a 2 month-old - at this rate we could be great-grandparents by January.

Eliza loves the spinning robots!

Today when we got home, Daddy busted out a robot toy for Eliza to play with. You know, mix up the routine a little. He chose the purple robot, as to best match her outfit.

This photo was taken about 2 seconds before she lunged across the playmat and tackled the poor, spinning robot.

First morning at daycare!



Here's a shot of Eliza, who's already warmed up to her daycare nanny, Miss Jan. We dropped her off this morning, and decked out her daytime crib with some of her favorite toys (especially Donald the giraffe). She's already smiling and waving at the other babies in the room, and will probably be moved to the "big baby room" in the next week. She's already skipping grades...we knew she was a smart cookie!

Hanging out with her doggy.

Eliza loves playing and rolling around on the floor. But she also enjoys hanging out on the couch with her talking doggy toy, and reading a good book. This particular book is about an octopus that likes to swim - Eliza LOVES reading (and eating) it.
