Bath Time

Izzie loves bath time. From shampoo bottles, to splashing, bath toys, and wash cloths. She always has a blast!

Happiest Babe on the Block

Izzie's 1st Push-Up

It was good!

Wordless Wednesday

Chosen By God

Yesterday we dedicated our daughter, Elizabeth Ann May, to the Lord. It is very humbling to me to think that the God of the Universe created a life inside of me and chose to allow my husband and I to raise this child- Not our child but His. We commit ourselves to the Lord just as we commit to raise our daughter in His ways. Her name, Elizabeth, means Chosen by God. Ann is a derivative of Hannah, which means Grace. What a beautiful name for our second born child. We love you, Liza, and praise God for the Gift He has given us in you!

2 Months Old

Liza turned 2 months old on Friday! She is the best baby. She has slept all night 5 out of the last 6 nights!! (I hope last night was not the last night!) She rarely fusses unless she is hungry, dirty, or sleepy. She moved into her own room at 7 weeks old! Daycare is going well. She can roll from tummy to back, and is working on rolling from back to tummy. She smiles! She coos! At her 2 month doctor's visit, she weighed 9 lbs and 7 oz and was 22 1/4 inches long.

1st Week at Daycare

s
Liza and I changed our routine as of this past Monday. I went back to work, and she started daycare. I can say that I could not be more pleased with how this has worked this week. Liza has slept through the night Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday nights. Unfortunately, I have been waking in what used to be her normal feeding time (3:30 am) She is doing great at daycare. The first day, they had a little trouble getting her to take the bottle, but she caught on fast and is eating like a champ. She is still nursing very well, and I am proud to report that so far, she hasn't had to have formula (except for the first day!) I didn't think that I would be able to pump and keep up with her, but amazingly, I have.

The guys at work are glad that I am back, and I am glad to be there. I am much more excited about my job than I was before I left. The kids are great, and I am getting ready to take my 7th grade band to contest. We only have 5 more weeks of school until summer! I've been very tired this week. I'm hoping that I can rest this weekend and adjust soon to having to rise at 5:00 am.

This Girl

This little girl makes my day, every day! She is smart, loves hot dogs and macaroni and cheese, relishes her purple blankie and adores her care bear bedtime book. Twice today she has pointed to her barrettes and said "BOW!" She loves to play games and is always on the go. She is already a great big sister. She tries to put Liza's paci back in her mouth when she cries and takes Liza's blankie to daddy when he is holding baby sister. She kisses Liza on the head and rocks her in the bouncy seat. She can't wait until they can play together. She makes my day, every day!

Easter

We had a great Easter weekend. Good Friday we went to my parents' house and enjoyed a fabulous lunch and some much needed time with Nana and Papaw Eyeore. My grandparents came as well, so much love was to be had at the Davis home. My mom bought Izzie and Liza some super cute outfits she found at her super "discount" store... Fabulous! She also bought Izzie this Tutu.


Saturday, the girls enjoyed and egg hunt at our church's family life center. Izzie was all about running around with eggs in her hand, but she did not want to stop long enough to put them in her basket. Liza hung out with her daddy while mommy chased Izzie. FYI, Liza started handing out smiles on Thursday!


The Easter bunny came Sunday morning. Izzie has been on a sugar rush since the egg hunt Saturday. Izzie has learned how to bring me and her daddy an egg and grunt until we open it and give her the contents.

Then we were off to church to worship the Risen Savior! I'm ok with the The Easter Bunny and Egg hunts, but I want our children to appreciate Easter for the the REAL reason. Christ was crucified for our sins and rose again on the 3rd day so that we can obtain eternal life through him. HOW EXCITING!
