Eliza Layne Ridge

I probably should change the posting day as I've missed it consistently for the past few weeks. Wednesday just seems to be a very busy day for us. I'll keep everyone updated as to if I change the day.

In Ridge family news, Claron has booked his tickets for China. He will be leaving on June 24 and returning September 17. Eliza and I will be going to the east coast.

On to what everyone really wants to know. As always, Eliza is GREAT! She is growing like a weed. She has the funniest little laugh. It is a deep little "huh huh huh." She eats great. She sleeps well. She is very laid back.

The camera battery died this week and I didn't recharge, so there aren't as many pictures. We've been walking a good bit. We have a refuge right next to our house that affords us the most amazing views. I'll include pictures next week.



Apparently it is tiring to be that cute!











Eliza and Yuan-Yuan



Eliza and Nick. She's such a flirt!!

I know I am really, really late posting this week. Eliza has had a good week. She is back on schedule and sleeping through the night again. She is eating great and continues to grow rapidly. She loves to make faces and coo. She is learning to sit.


Eliza loves her mobile!

Hi everyone,
Sorry I'm late this week. We had dinner with friends last night and didn't get back until late. Also, Eliza has decided that sleeping through the night is for the birds, so I've been up at 3:30 a.m. every night this week. She goes to bed at midnight. =-( Besides that, Eliza continues to thrive. She gets bigger so fast! She had a great Easter but there are no pics of her in her Easter dress because she spit up all over it before I could snap some after church. Figures, huh!? I'll wash it and take some of her in it and post them.


Happy Easter!

Trying on more sunglasses



Don't I look like my Pop V. in these!? All I need now is a fishing rod.













Notice the hands... She even has her clutch finger ready!

Eliza is now 12 weeks old! She is doing great. She continues to grow at quite a clip. She has graduated to size 3 diapers and has outgrown almost all of her 3-6 mos clothing. We have a new stroller (a Bertini-- it steers and has a suspension) and have been taking walks offroad.
