The Beach!

So every other year, my Mom's side of the family have a family reunion  at Topsail Island, North Carolina. It is heaven.  I think there were about 60 of us there this year.  My youngest sister, Amber, took about 7,000 pictures while we were there, so we have enjoyed the spoils of that.  I'm sure you can tell which pictures she took and which ones we took. 

 Scrunching that cute nose!

 Chilling with cousin Jack!

 I think we can tell who is going to be the bossy one.

 Stylin' in her swim suit!

 No one's as tough as Jack, I mean Batman.

 Getting ready for her first dip in the ocean.

 She was pretty indifferent, but liked looking at the water.

 Nikki is delicious. Eliza has Nikki's coloring, which is beautiful! They are good buds.

 So cute in her hat.  And Alex eating a green otter pop.

 Stripes!

 Probably the two most photographed kiddos at the beach.

 After a beautiful walk along the beach.  We had her in a Baby Bjorn, so that is why it looks like Andrew is sporting a backpack...in case you were wondering.

 My brother, Josh, is currently serving a 2 year mission for our Church in Quito, Ecuador.  We miss him terribly, but are so happy with his choice to serve and bring others to Christ. 

 The growing Thomas family! Minus Josh.

With my beautiful sisters and Momma. 

Months 5!

 So, we recently got a new camera and have been kind of going crazy taking pictures of Eliza. 

 But really, can you blame us?

 She is such a happy, energetic, busy little girl! She is going to be one happy girl when she can crawl!

 Tummy time has gotten a little bit better.

 Sometimes. Except when she hated it.  Now Eliza is 6 months though, and is rolling all over the place. 

 I'm a horrible mom to think she's so cute when she's sad! Just sometimes though.

 Enjoying chomping on her new jumperoo!

Utah!

There are more pictures, but this is such a great one! From left: Matt Lowe, Jacob Lowe, Lydia Lowe, Heather Miller, Matt Miller (Andrew's Mom's new husband), Debbie, Jill, Scott, and little Noah Miller, us!

We were so grateful we could be at the wedding!

Rochester Photo Shoot

After missing our flight back to Utah, we took a flight back to Minneapolis and stayed with my family in Rochester for about a day.  My sister, Amber, took lots of pictures of Eliza when we were there.  Enjoy!

Catch Up

Eliza is 5 1/2 months, but here are her 4 month pictures! 5 month pictures coming shortly... We're a little behind.

A lot has happened since she turned 4 months! Like turning 5 months. Get ready for a lot of posts...

Baby Bonding: Utah Part 2

While we were in Utah, we got to see cousin Jack!! My sister, Natalie, had her little boy 8 weeks after Eliza, but by looking at them, you'd think Jack was older. ( he's bigger) We had a lot of fun with them!

 Chilling in their pjs. Not quite sure what to think of each other. They were moving quite a bit, hence the blurry pictures.

In the elevator after we visited by Grandpa and Grandma Thomas.  It was so great to see them! Eliza's middle name is Ann, after my middle name. And my middle name is Ann after my Grandma Thomas.  She's a great woman.

Such cuties! We saw our good friends, the Jensens, while we were there too.  Quincey is about 4 weeks younger than Eliza. It was great to see them!

Rollin', rollin', rollin'

Our little girl started rolling last week and there is no going back.  She rolled from her back to her stomach first, but then quickly rolled from her tummy to her back the same day. She was pretty motivated since she hates being on her tummy.  We can't believe she's old enough to roll! She's already rolling into things, but usually just goes in one direction.
