Eliza's One Month Old

I posted this on my blog as well, sorry if you read both.

Look whose getting chubby!

Tell me that's not a smile :) Now do you believe me?

Here are the chubby cheeks and the belly!

You can see she's grown from the 1 week old bath.

(oh my... that belly; it must be the way she's sitting ;)

She still sleeps a lot. She loves the swing but will sleep in her bed too. She is a good eater and lets me sleep pretty well at night.

We took her out to eat for the first time a few days ago. Babies get so much more attention here. Strangers want to know her name and how old she is and tell us she's beautiful, which we know of course. You just don't get that in Utah; too many babies there I guess.

Anyway, she is a great baby and we couldn't love her more.

We miss you guys! It's awfully quiet here during the days.

is it Fall?

even though it's still 100 degrees outside I am decorating for Fall! I had an idea to make a scarecrow so I did, and here he is

Orbit

We have been watching a busy squirrel who is bringing walnuts from the neighbor's tree, along the fence, and "squirreling" them into a hole in our chimney. Noah has named him "Orbit".Orbit does not seem to even notice the backyard guard dogs!

We are discussing how or if we can use the wood burning stove which uses the chimney, and Brad did such a splendid job stacking the fire wood. Any thoughts?
