Rolling

Eliza has finally figured out how to roll over on purpose. She has rolled over before, but it was always on accident. She wasn't able to duplicate it. Today, every time I put her on her stomach she rolled over. Sometimes she had to fuss for about 30 seconds and then she would just roll onto her back. Wahoo! She is progressing! She also ate a bigger bowl of baby oatmeal than she has before. What a fun little girl.

Bread and Toast

On Monday for Family Home Evening, Kyle taught me how to make bread. My mom always made her own bread (yum), and I made it once under her supervision (when I was 13?). It turned out dense and heavy. I never made it again.

Here's a video of Eliza eating her toast.

Happy Birthday to me!

Saturday was my birthday party. We ate yummy, chocolatey cupcakes that Bethany made. We played the picture/sentence game, Apples to Apples, and Isaac Zumba. It was fun.














Eliza ate her first baby toast on Sunday. Once it went in her mouth it didn't come out until she had eaten up both corners on that end. Then she played with the crumbs.

For Drew

Here are more pictures and a longer video.

How big is that baby's mouth?

Eliza was sucking on her big toe until she saw the camera. I'm not sure how to line up captions with pictures. I'm sure I will figure out this blogging stuff eventually.

China

The scoop on China is that we are still planning on going, we just don't have a set date. Once we have visas, tickets, and housing we will be able to tell you all when we are leaving. Until then, we don't know when we will actually leave. We will give you at least a few days warning before we actually leave the country :)

Eliza in her blue dress

Here's a close up of Eliza's costume. I knitted and felted the crown and then sewed on the flowers and ribbon.


I want to start a weekly post every Sunday. The only interesting thing I have to write about is Eliza. Here are some pictures taken 3 days before she turned 6 months old. She likes to sit up, reach for her toys, talk to herself, squeal, smile, grab her toes, and eat anything she can get near her mouth. Anything.

Halloween

Here are our Halloween costumes. Kyle was a monk, but got teased at the ward party about not shaving his head. So he became Nacho.
