Jump around!

Liza officially has a favorite toy- her jumper!  I bought it at the huge consignment sale back in August, and just this week she's really gotten to love it.  I put her in it a few weeks ago and she clearly wasn't ready - she just sort of dangled there.  But now - She LOVES it...she bounces and bounces and gets really excited.

We've also gotten a few giggles out of her.  I had barely gotten a peep until a few days ago, but now she will give us a giggle maybe a couple times a day if we blow "raspberries" on her belly or feet.  Its really the cutest thing!

She's going through a developmental leap right now according to "the wonder weeks" and we are in the fussy period.  She's a little more needy the past few days. And her sleeping...well lets not even go there.  Last night though, she sleeps from about 11  to 5 (in bed with me) and then 6 to 8:30, so that wasn't too bad.  Ryan volunteered to sleep in the guest room, we all need a good nights sleep.

Cant believe we have a 5 month old!!!

Happy Fall!

WOW I am so overdue on blogging, and I can't believe Liza is almost 21 weeks!  I feel like so much has been happening!

Liza rolls now, belly to back and back to belly, she's been doing this for about a month now.  She also reaches for things and grabs them with her hands and studies them, often trying to put them in her mouth.

She was baptized on 8/15 with Jen and Billy as Godparents.  She slept through the whole ceremony!

We've had 2 "play dates" although they were more like mom dates, with 3 moms from the mom group.  We've also started the "Born to Read program at the library and we love it!

My mom watched Liza for a whole week while Ryan and I went to Utah - we had a great time and Liza and grandma had a great week!  She is 13 lbs now and I will weight her again on Monday.

I brought her into Dr Seto a few weeks ago because I thought she had thrush - she didn't!

We visited with Ryan's side of the family a few times, most recently to remember Nana Williams who passed away in September, she held Liza several times and took several pictures with her before she passed away.  We are so thankful for that.

Liza was giving Aunt Nicole huge smiles this weekend while she was in for the funeral.

We don't use the swing much anymore, and Liza loves spending time in the "exersaucer" that my mom got for her.  She sleeps in her crib at night now, but often moves to our bed in the early morning for a while.

Ive been wearing her a lot and so has Ryan.  Most recently the Moby Wrap has been a favorite.    I gotta go, we have to run to target!

I'm absolutely loving being with my baby every day!
