Funny Dog & Cat

Too much laughing...



Eliza could be the next E-Trade commercial baby :)

Shout it out!

For all of you out there fighting stains day after day, I have a solution! Shout Advanced Gel is fantastic. It even gets out set-in stains, and it makes carrots, green beans, and prunes disappear!

A Few New Pictures

Election Day

Eliza and I ventured out to the polls this morning to fulfill my voting duty. On our first trip there, we found the line to be at the back of the parking lot, so we went back home to grab a bottle and some other entertainment necessities. We set out again and after parking very far away, strolled to the end of the very, very long line. After checking (many times) to make sure I had my registration card and ID, I started hoping and praying that Eliza would make it through her first voting experience. I dreaded the thought of waiting in line for hours only to not vote because of a screaming baby.

As we trekked our way to the building, we met many wonderful people, and I think Eliza provided a bit of entertainment for the crowd. She smiled and laughed and checked out everybody. After about 1 1/2 hours, Eliza lost her temper a little. I struggled through holding her, feeding her a bottle, pushing the stroller, and moving slowly through the line. It was quite a feat!

We finally made it through the "check-in line", only to be sent back with our pink slip to the new "voting line", which was also practically at the end of the parking lot. I feared losing my pink slip and having to start this process over again.

Once we got back in the building and the voting booths were in sight, I let out a sigh of relief. We made it! Amazingly enough, Eliza survived the three hour wait without too much anxiety. We met many people along the way, and I was certainly glad to cast my vote!

If only parents with small children could be sent to the front of the line...

Funny Picture

Yes, I realize that this picture makes it appear that we torture our child, but that's not true! We took this picture as we were leaving the house today, and here's the explanation...

First, Eliza is the "One Sock or No Sock Wonder". I can't seem to keep socks on this child as she loves to eat them! The very second I put socks on her, she puts her feet in her mouth and manages to eat her socks off her feet. She then continues to stuff the socks in her mouth and practically gag herself. Talk about cotton mouth!

Second, Eliza does not usually wear rags on her head. I asked Andrew to bring down some burp cloths for the road (since we ALWAYS need burp cloths), and he thought it would be quite funny to put them on her head. She thought it was pretty funny too!

Fun with Daddy

Eliza loves hanging out with her daddy, and she usually gets quite a good laugh with him! I believe he was dancing in this video, and that always makes her laugh! :)

(Please excuse the Steve Spurrier Show in the first part of the video - it's a Thursday night thing!)

What a Mess!

Lately Eliza has been such a messy eater. She loves to put her fingers in her mouth after each bite, and then of course drag her other hand across her head (further spreading the food!). After all of that, she decides to eat her feet! As you can see, it turns into quite a mess.

She is quite proud of herself and her prunes....


And her green beans...
