Took Eliza to the doctor last night regarding a cold--she weighed 17 lbs 10 oz!! Sweet fat baby!

Eliza is sitting up!

Juliana talking like crazy--full of spirit! As she's talking, her temper has subsided some, although she is still capable of some memorable temper tantrums!

Juliana loves to FaceTime with my parents and asks for PawPaw all the time!

Anna Claire is really growing into a little girl. She drew a picture of her daddy today. So sweet.

She also know many of her letters and some of their sounds.

She says funny things like "that be good?" Or "come see something cool!"

They are starting to play together better, though there is much room for improvement. It makes my heart smile when I see it!

Eliza and Juliana are both a little under the weather. Hate to see my babies not feel well. I've stopped breastfeeding and have mixed feelings about it--my hormones are just too crazy and I've struggled with a renewed case of postpartum depression. This has been the hardest thing about recovering after Eliza was born and I'm not eager to start it again.....

Today Anna Claire wanted a large bow in her hair. I pinned it in to the side like usual and she says, "no, mommy" and puts it dead on top sitting upright on her head and says "like Minnie!" So funny!

Eliza held her own bottle today for the first time. :-) yay! She is soooo exhausted from our ride home from Jacksonville---she barely slept at all. Poor baby!

Have had a great week visiting my parents but am very much looking forward to being back with Andy tomorrow. It's not the same without him around! Love that guy!

The girls have had a blast. Nani and Pawpaw have outdone themselves playing with them and making memories! We went out on the boat twice and they played in the yard with the dog and rode the golf cart and today, the four wheeler. My parents got two small pools to play in and a swing set from Walter and a sandbox! It's been a ball for them! They've been outside constantly!

And that's not even considering we went to the Zoo yesterday. :-) We had a wonderful time there also! Anna Claire saw two lizards chase each other, then one bit the other and she told him, "it's not nice to bite your friends!"

Juliana loves looking at the snakes--there were some green mambas that were moving around and she was really interested in them!

Anna Claire comforted a 5 year old who was crying as we left and said "it will be okay--don't cry!" So sweet! She can be so tender at times....

Mama Betty kept Eliza last night so that we can go out on the boat today and enjoy being out for longer without a baby into. This sounded like a great idea to everyone except Anna Claire! She did not want Eliza to stay away from her! When we got ready to leave she said "Baby Liza come with me?" I told her that she was going to stay with Mama and then she started to cry said "No! Baby Liza come with me!"

Then this afternoon she asked me again where Baby Liza was. I think she will be very glad when I get her home here in a few minutes. :-) I'm so glad she loves her sisters!
