Eliza and Great Grandmother Gretta Huff

Here are some pictures taken in Boise with Eliza and her Great-Grandmother Huff. I am so glad that Grandma got to meet Eliza.

Gretta's Trip to Boise

Gretta was lucky enough to spend two weeks in Boise with my parents. They took her back with them after the baby blessing. She LOVES being with Nana & Papa. All good things come from Nana. Including chocolate, lots of treats, new cloths, new shoes, TV,late bed times, and Suzy and Tessy stories. Nana spoils her rotten and Gretta enjoys every minute of it. She also loves having a back yard to explore, dogs to play with, fish to feed and the neighbors great play structure. Plus here great-grandparents live in Boise. Great-Grandpa Huff introduced Gretta to "silver bells" aka Hersey's kisses. She loves chocolate!
Here are two pictures of her having a great time. After 10 days of having Nana & Papa to herself Eliza and I flew up to Boise to spend some time with everyone. We had a baby shower for Anna and celebrated Grandma Gretta's 96th Birthday. It was a fun filled weekend. I even survived the plane trip home with two kids. Luckily, they let my mom help me through security in Boise and wait with us until our plane left.(Which was actually 1 hour late.) Or we would have never made it.

Eliza's 6 week well check

These pictures are after Eliza's first shots. She did great. She also did great after ward, no fever or fussiness. Way to be a great baby!!!
She weight 8lbs 10oz and was 22.5 inches long. She is in the 75% percentile for height and 50% percentile for weight. Just like she was 4 weeks ago. That is also just like Gretta. Long and lean. Eric and I are not quite sure where it comes from.
Eliza is a great baby. She is happy, rarely cries, sleeps like a dream and does great with all the extra "Love" from her sister. It is a joy to be her mom.

Special Quilts

Here is Eliza with two special quilts she received. The top one is from our good family friend, Millicent. It is such a nice quilt. It is so soft and has a lot of fun textures for her to play with. I really admire hand made quilts. When I was pregnant and on bed rest with Gretta I decided I wanted to learn how to quilt. It only took one lesson for me to decided it wasn't for me.
Thank you Millicent for sharing your talent and making such a beautiful gift.
The bottom one with her name on it is from my Grandparents. It is special because they helped tie it and it was also made with love. My favorite blanket as a child was giving to me by my grandparents.

Eliza's Baby Blessing

We blessed Eliza over Memorial Day weekend. Thank you to everyone who came and made the day special. We had a lot of family and friends come to support us. It was especially fun to have Karl & MaryAnn Tueller come. They are like family to us.

The whole day was wonderful. Eliza was an angel during the blessing and sacrament meeting. She is a wonderful daughter with a really sweet spirit about her. He is already such a blessing to me and our family. I am excited to see what her life holds.

Then we had a nice family brunch.

Thank you to everyone involved.

More Newport Beach

I am really behind in posting. It has been crazy around here. So forgive me for some late entries. Here are more pictures of Nana, Papa, Uncle Gabe and Aunt Anna’s visit over Memorial Day weekend. We sure had a fun time in Newport Beach and wish that everyone could have stayed longer. Gretta really enjoyed the boat ride around Balbo Island and playing at the playground and swimming in the pool at the Condo.

We also enjoyed a visit by my dad’s brother, Bob. I haven’t seen Uncle Bob since my wedding, so it was fun to catch up with him. He brought Gretta and Eliza some cute US military oneies. Eric especially liked the camo one he brought Eliza.

Daddy turn the AC on

I went in last night to check on Gretta one last time before I went to bed and this is what I found…a naked child. She took everything off. I am pretty sure she was too hot because the AC wasn’t on.
