Blessings, Smiles, Birds, and More.

So here's an update on what we have been doing:

We blessed Eliza on Sunday.

She was so good all day, until we tried to take pictures, of course.


A few weeks ago, we drove down to Delta with Ali and my parents to see the geese. It was amazing! This isn't a great picture of them, but all those white dots in the back ground are geese. (Check out Ali's blog for better pictures.)


This is first smile we were able to capture on film, and it's only her half smile.
You'll have to see her in real life to get the full effect.
She's really good at the open-mouth-toothless-grin.


Heidi and her 2, almost 3, kids came for a visit this week. Hannah wanted a turn holding Eliza, but wasn't quite sure how she felt about it when it actually happened.


This is one of Dallin's favorite pictures. I'll just leave it at that.

TV, FSN, and the Utah Jazz

Betsy just let me buy a new TV, and I am really excited because I found out last night that we can pick up FSN-UT. So now I get to watch all the Jazz games in High Definition. Best money I ever spent (well except for the engagement ring)

Six Weeks

Because of RSV season, Eliza has been spending most of her time at home or at grandparents'. But I got in trouble for not having more recent pictures of Eliza, so here's a quick update. Like my brother said, she doesn't do much except eat, sleep, and poop -- so most pictures of her sleeping. (You don't want to see the other two things.) But she is starting to try to smile and her cheeks are filling out nicely.

She's so close to smiling. And she really does have her eyes open a lot.

Sucking on fingers is a favorite pass time.





Again, almost a smile. She tires so hard!




Another favorite pass time: sleeping on Dad.
And yes, she can already wear bows! We get all sorts of comments about her hair.
