Eliza is great at sleeping at night. She often sleeps for 8 hours without waking up! Other nights it's 6 or 7 hours, but definitely nothing to complain about! When she wakes up to eat she goes back to sleep easily. She is a faster eater now. I don't spend nearly as much time nursing as I did when she was brand new, but as you can see, she's getting plenty to eat! Breastfeeding Eliza is easy and wonderful.
Eliza is so happy when she wakes up and after she eats. She loves to have conversations with mom and dad with her animated babble. She loves the impromptu rhymes and songs that mom and dad invent. We love singing to her and playing with her! Eventually we'll get some videos posted of Eliza's own songs and discourses. She is intrigued by the camera, which makes it hard to get smiley pictures of her. She just stares with wonderment at the strange object that keeps flashing and beeping at her.
She always wants to sit up. Whenever she's in her swing or car seat or even laying down flat, she always lifts her head up and tries to pull herself into a complete sitting position. She's pretty strong with those neck muscles. She still loathes tummy time and hates exercising the other neck muscles (lifting her head up while on her tummy). She likes to grab at things and bring them to her mouth if she can. We're impressed by her accuracy in grabbing and her ability to use her hands.
Eliza likes to take her naps on mommy's shoulder, the Boppy pillow on mom's lap, or with mommy wearing her in the Moby wrap. She also will fall asleep in the car seat when being connected to mom isn't an option.
We love our little Liza and are so glad she's with us!
Here are a few shots from the last month!
