Lizziebell

Meet Eliza Jane. 

We call her Lizzie, Lizzibell, Lizzie Lou or you know Eliza.

She is so squishy and lovable, it's ridiculous.

Clearly she is the most perfect baby girl ever, I mean duh.

She was born on July 20, 2015.

She weighed 9lbs 13oz. ( Three more ounces than her brother.)

She was 21 1/4in long.

Our sweet Eliza Jane we can't wait to watch you grow.

ONE MONTH OLD

Lizzie is my little snuggle monster, she wants all the cuddles all the time.

She currently co-sleeps and sleeps about 4 hours, wakes to eat, and sleeps another 4 hours.

She stills wear tiny adorable newborn clothes.

Lizzie is a beast at tummy time, she thinks it's awesome.

Most of her onesies are floral-y and I love it.

She is a very serious baby with mean muggin' eyebrows.

When she is finished nursing she stores breastmilk in her mouth and then shoots it at me like a fountain.

She weighs 11 lbs and 11 oz. 

TWO MONTHS OLD

She sleeps in her bed all night, only waking to eat a few times.

Her smiles melts my heart.

Liam tries to play trains with her.

She already wears three month clothes.

She spends most of her time being worn in the Tula.

Bath time is one of her favorite things to do.

We co-bathe and she kicks and splashes the whole time.

She likes to be held sitting up, none of that baby stuff.

This girl loves to look into your eyes and coo.

THREE MONTHS OLD

Rolls over and really wants to crawl.

Military crawls when she REALLY wants to. 

She still fits in three month clothes.

Her favorite lullaby is Somewhere Over the Rainbow.

Noming on hands is one of her favorite things to do.

Without a yoga ball to bounce her on we might have all died.

Sleeps most of the night in her crib.

But always ends up snuggling and nursing in mama's bed by four in the morning.

 Car rides are tolerated but not liked at all.

She started giggling. 

I'm pretty sure it's the best sound ever.

She loves her brother and he loves her.

She lets him snuggle her and give her all the kisses.

Oh and how she smiles at him.

This little girl jabbers up a storm.

Dude, she is always baby talking.

She screeches really loud when she is happy.

Really, really deafeningly loud.

Sleeps with mama.

Wakes up for the day at four! FOUR.

Weighs in at 16.7 lbs.

Loves to hold your face.

Has to be sitting up at all times, but has to be assisted.

Laying down is horrible.

She forgets she has feet if she is wearing a sleeper.

Then gets really excited when she finds them again.

Neck kisses are the best.

The tula is the only acceptable place to nap.

And screamed at his face.

Fits in my stocking!

Decided she loves brother's old jumper.

She started sitting up all by herself.

How is that even a possibility, where did my baby go?

She military crawls to whatever she wants.

This girl thinks her big brother is hilarious.

They love to play together.

He lays on the floor beside her and they just laugh and laugh.

Breastfeeding is still her favorite thing.

She takes that crap serious.

Her smile is probably my favorite thing ever.

She has the kindest eyes.

Pulling my hair is the best past time, just ask her.

Sleeping in her own bed is great until like 10pm.

After that it's time for all night snuggles with mama.

Mama started a job so she stays with Mrs. Michelle during the days now.

SEVEN MONTHS OLD

Limes are delicious, she could eat them all day.

Still no teeth, just a sweet gummy smile.

She military crawls an scoots to get where ever she wants to go.

She's not too sure about all this crawling business.

This month she had her first ever pizza crust and thought it was the best.

Has started trying to pull herself up to a standing position.

Wants to nurse all night every night.

Only daddy can convince her to sleep in her bed and that only lasts a few hours.

Giggles up a storm at mama and daddy.

Her favorite toy is Liam's green toy plane.

Everything must go in her mouth. Everything.

This girl loves bath time with mama and brother.

She splashes non-stop and laughs the whole time.

Lizzibell sits in shopping carts and highchairs like it's not a big deal at all.

Started staying with Mrs. Victoria during the day with big brother.

Liam calls her "sis-T-her." 

She loves nursing and stares lovingly at me the whole time.

You know, as she tries to tear my boob off with her finger nails that she won't let me cut.

EIGHT MONTHS OLD

She sits in high chairs like it's old news.

Homegirl loves to eat anything we will give her and wants to try everything.

She is actually sleeping most of the night.

Our sweet girl loves to slide with Daddy.

Still only has two teeth.

She has dimples when she smiles and I could not be more in love with them.

Anytime anyone does something that makes her happy she claps and giggles.

So much clapping.

When you try to put her in her carseat she does an extreme backbend in an effort to stop you.

She fights sleep hard.

It amazes me how strong she is.

She has the most expressive faces. 

One of those faces is the face of judgement and it is hysterical.

She took her first steps.

At school, and I missed it. 

Don't mind me I'll just be crying forever.

He hates this.

Liam always bring her the walker and tells her "walk iza."

Story time before bed consists of her hitting the book out of my hands repeatedly.

Every time she sees daddy she squeals and points at him.

She has decided that the only way she will sleep is on the couch with daddy.

She is my sweet little snuggle bear.

Her smile is so contagious.

Climbing up slides is the best. 

ELEVEN MONTHS OLD

This girl climbs up the slide and slides down by herself.

Still only taking a few unassisted steps at a time.

She loves to play with Lola and Lola loves to play with her.

Being under the sheets in a "tent" with brother is possibly her favorite thing ever.

All she wants to do is explore all the time.

My girl loves taking selfies, she will look at the camera and smile or make funny faces.

She is the biggest daddies girl I have ever met.

Daddy let her try a Frappuccino.

Anything involving water makes her happy. 

She loves the bath, the pool, and the water table.

Her glare, when she is mad, is pretty intense.

Brother is her best friend and she needs to be doing/have whatever he is doing/has.

She thinks Christmas ornaments are balls.

She will see one, squeal "ball," and throw it across the room.

We are still on our nursing journey, she will try to rip my shirt off asking for "boob-a."

She lives off of bananas and cereal bars.

All she wants to do is be outside running around with Liam.

She is so talkative and will just jabber forever.

She shares a room with Liam because they refused to sleep without each other.

Our sweet girl sleeps with a book (or five) every night.

She enjoys looking at photos with me and telling me who is in them.

Oh my goodness she is awnry, she is going to make one strong independent woman. ;)

Her newest phase is wanting to "help" or do it herself with everything.

Hands down, she has the best giggle I have ever heard.

I love you Lizziebell.

Bath time makes her heart happy, she barely wants to finish dinner because she wants to take a bath so bad.

If she could be outside all of the time she would.

As soon as we get home she says, "Wanna play outside. Wanna play outside.
She is a big fan of dinosaurs, Star Wars, Paw Patrol, and her baby doll.

Her laugh is probably my favorite sound ever.
