Adorable

At Auntie Theresa's house.

Does this little girl look ready for China? We might head out October of this year. We'll believe it when we have plane tickets :) Kyle brought the outfit home from Chinatown in San Francisco.

Photographer

My friend Jessee is a photographer, and she's having a contest to win a free photo shoot. Check out her cute pictures at her blog and call her to take your family photos!

Teeth

Eliza has three teeth. Can you see two on top and one on the bottom?

It's about time

I'm posting a couple of pictures of baby nightgowns I made out of t-shirts. The pattern is from http://thismamamakesstuff.blogspot.com/2008/08/tutorial-t-shirt-to-newborn-gown.html
Models are so hard to work with! (and the gown is 0-6 mos. She is 13 mos.)

Here are a few pictures of Eliza. She is growing taller, she has 3 teeth, and she is one happy litle girl.

We are not in China yet, and have no idea when we will be.

Christmas time

We are in Vegas. Eliza did wonderfully on the drive down. (It helps to stop at great grandma's half way there.) We went caroling to the neighbors yesterday, watched a bunch of Christmas movies (and non-Christmas movies), ate caramel, doughnuts, and hot chocolate. We have been staying up way too late, and some of the family are sick.

Happy Christmas Adam! (If tomorrow is Christmas Eve, what does that make today?--Thanks, Karrae!)

Various Topics

We had a lovely Thanksgiving with my family. My parents and brother drove down from Missouri and spent a week with us. We gave my parents their Christmas present.

Here is Eliza with Uncle Drew.





Eliza does not like "tummy time".

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.
