Here's the honorable Eliza Watkins presiding over Mommy in the courtroom after her hearing. Unless Mommy granted her "more bottles and snuggles" and less "hair combing and tummy time" she was going to hold us in contempt of court.
Looks like she's stuck with us!
Here's a shot of Mommy and Daddy posing with Eliza and the judge after her finalization hearing. The whole process took about 5 minutes, and then we spent the next 15 minutes taking photos and hanging out with the courtroom staff. Everyone wanted to hold baby E. The judge was even an adopted child himself, so he really enjoyed presiding over these kinds of cases.
It was joyful experience and a quite memorable morning, and well worth the five hour drive to get there.
"Back to School" fashion baby
After having a nice day of rest, Eliza is ready to get back to school (aka - daycare). And since today is quite rainy and miserable, E wanted to dress really cute - not only for the weather, but to just brighten up everyone's day.
Of course, this ensemble didn't last very long, as Daddy spotted Eliza eating one of her removed shoes in the car five minutes later.
Sleeping off the cold.
Eliza is back home from her doctor's visit and having a nice, relaxing nap in the middle of the day.
Diagnosis: baby's first ear infection
She may not have been feeling great, but that didn't stop E from enjoying the opportunity to kick and chew on the exam table paper. She wasn't feeling herself this weekend. Took her to the doctor this morning and she has her first ear infection. Eliza now weighs 18 pounds, 2 ounces. Her nine month check-up is next week!
Enjoying all the pretty flowers.

Even though she has a little cold, Eliza took time between her sniffles (and slobbering) to check out the flowers in the Biltmore gardens. And like just about anything she gets into her hands - it was hard to make her let go.
Eliza is not a fan of chickens!
Eliza has several chicken-related stuff animals that she simply adores playing with, so you would think that she might be interested in a real chickens, right? Not so much. We took her out to the Biltmore petting zoo and let her watch the animals from the other side of the fences.
She loved the goats, and didn't really mind the chickens...until they came up close! She let out a panicked scream when the first one approached, so Daddy picked her up and backed away. We tried it again later, but Eliza wouldn't even put her feet on the ground. It was real cute.
Visiting the Biltmore Mansion
Mommy and Eliza are sporting some cute hats, as they strolled around the Biltmore estate on a gorgeous, sunny Saturday.
Picking up Eliza from daycare.

Even though she's having fun with her little buddies, Eliza loves to see Mommy or Daddy at the end of the day.
Eliza and her daycare buddies
Sometimes when we get to daycare to pick up Eliza, she doesn't even notice we're there because she's having so much fun with her little baby friends! On the right is her buddy, Kaido. He's a really happy guy (much like E) and really likes stroking her curly hair.
