Photography 101

Ben has been trying to teach me how to use the camera. I guess the auto button isn't the only one on the camera! You can tell I wasn't too interested at first. But, we're taking it slow and I'm learning. He always says that I want to already know what to do and how to do it and I don't want to learn. I guess it's true that in order to have something great you have to work hard. Hopefully I'll learn and get better.



I might not be a perfect photographer but Eliza is a perfect picture!

Ben the photographer

Ben got a new lens for his camera. These are some of his first shots. I can't wait for more!




My two favorite people...

Just Be

Suzi of Just Be gave Eliza this adorable skirt. She wore it for the first time on Sunday. Love it!

6 weeks

Tummy time! I don't have another baby to compare Eliza to but she already has a super strong neck. She's been lifting it up for a few weeks now. She loves her tummy time and is getting stronger and stronger.

You know you're a parent when...

you're baby isn't even 6 weeks old and you're already watching (and LOVING) things like this...



Sesame Street is awesome! I don't remember it being like this when I was young. They have so many musicians and stars on the show. The music is about self esteem and to help the kids learn. Love it.

New find

E found her tongue today. Even when she's not eating or hungry, she is rolling it around, sticking it out and smacking her lips. It's adorable. Oh, and this is my favorite outfit she has so far. The shirt is a blouse, not stretchy, blousy. I love it. We sure do love her!

Our little pumpkin

Bath time

Apparently Eliza likes bath time with dad much more than mom. Maybe because he uses warmer water. Or because he has big strong hands that can hold her better. I think it's because she got to wear her robe for the first time...

Sleep like a baby

E slept in her crib tonight for the first time. I was kind of sad with the thought of having her all the way across the house (it's far I know). She slept so great! She slept for 6 hours instead of waking up every 2 to eat. We were all happy campers in the morning.

5 weeks

I took Eliza to see her great grandma Tolman. Grandma held her for the first time. It was quite emotional for her. It was sweet. We're so glad she's still around.
