March in review
*Colin SHAVED! After a 1 1/2 year, can you believe it? He is so handsome, I forgot what he looked like without a beard.
Before
After
*Colin had to go to the hospital for 15 days. :( This was a trial for us especially with a new baby. We visited him about every other day so as to not throw Eliza's schedule and routine too out of whack. That was a lonely 2 weeks for Colin & I but he is home now, healthy and strong.
*Eliza began wearing a pavlik harness to treat her hip dysplasia at 3 weeks old. She has tolerated it just fine. After wearing it for 4 weeks we went to the dr for an ultrasound and our prayers were heard because her right hip was completely healed and her left hip was almost healed, which meant no surgery and cast for our baby. Just a few more weeks of the harness and she won't need to wear it anymore or worry about having hip problems when she is older.
*Our baby girl has begun smiling more and more, loves patty-cake and being sung to, has begun cooing (its so sweet), doesn't really like tummy-time but holds her head up a lot when being held, has gotten breastfeeding down from 30 - 40 minutes to 20 minutes, has begun sleeping 6 - 7 hours through the night (yeah for us), loves walks in the stroller, falls right asleep in car rides, tolerates mommy playing dress-up and putting bows and clips in her hair (what little of it she has) and biggest and cutest accomplishment of all - FOUND HER THUMB! I walked into her nursery to check on her and there she was sucking her thumb! I thought she was too little for that but I guess not. Its so cute!
*Colin & I are loving parenthood and we are getting settled into our new life style a little bit more everyday. Eliza is such a happy girl and brings so much love and joy to our home.

She is adorable. And these are some great pictures. Seeing her makes me want more children. Also, thanks for telling us about the 2 year thing w/Aflac. We barley made the time line. But we never would have w/o you, so really THANKS!
And I am sorry about the hospital. Those nights are the worst for me. But your right, in the end they are always so worth it.
Wow I'm so glad that she doesn't have to have surgery. Her cheeks are looking chubby and cute.
She's growing so fast and is so cute! Sorry to hear about Colin in the hospital - I'm glad everything turned out okay. He looks nice without his beard. You have a cute little family!
Mand, she is seriously so cute. What a perfect little face. I'm SO glad to hear she's been sleeping well for you. I can't wait to meet her!! I'm coming to UT in May and we'll talk soon about getting together.
Also so glad to hear Colin is home and that she doesn't need surgery. Phew.
She is so beautiful, Mandy. Isn't life so perfect now!? Great to hear about the many blessings you guys have!
Glad Colin is out and doing better. We've done 2 hospital visits post-Ella and they are HARD!
She is SO cute! And I'm glad she doesn't have to have surgery, but her poor little legs in that brace! Life is so hard for little babies!
