120:4-30-11 (Come back soon, Aunt Pammy)

 

Eliana misses her Aunt Pammy already, you can see it in her eyes. We're so glad Pamma Jamma could stay a few days longer.

119:4-29-11 (All Clean)

She tolerates the bath pretty well. I wouldn't quite call her a fish just yet, but she does well.

118:4-28-11 (Dinner Dinner)

 

You just can't beat $5 Little Caesar's. (It's the price that makes it taste good)

117:4-27-11 (Don't Leave, Grammy!)

It was a sad day to say good-bye to Grammy and those 10 days felt like 2. We're already planning the next visit.

116:4-26-11 (Just her...)

Bright Eyed and poopy tailed.

115:4-25-11 (Aunt Pamma Jamma)

Pammy came from Alaska to see her first (and favorite) niece!

114:4-24-11 (Holiday #1 – Easter)

I dunno, do you think we went a bit overboard for Eliana's first Easter? Naaah.

113:4-23-11 (Beer Me)

There were a lot of good pictures today, so I'm going to cheat a little. We had a fun day having hundreds of pictures taken of Eliana and we were able to relax that night and have a beer together. Great day.

112:4-22-11 (Best Looking Family)

I couldn't imagine a better place to be.

111:4-21-11 (Mmmm...Burrito)

Here you can see Eliana in her Newborn Straitjacket. She absolutely hates the process of getting wrapped up, but she does sleep longer in it.

110:4-20-11 (Part of the Clan)

You can tell she's beginning to fit in when Garci doesn't mind her...

109:4-19-11 (Snow Pea Meets Sprout)

Eliana got to meet the Easter Bunny (Sprout) today. She slept better in that rabbit's arms than she does in mine!

108:4-18-11 (Grammy Time)

Grammy is a natural at getting the little one to sleep. We're so glad she made it out!

107:4-17-11 (The force is strong with this one)

Anakin ponders this new addition from a distance, not quite sure what to think of this human that is half her size.

106:4-16-11 (First Bloom)

I've been growing this jasmine obsessively since last year and here are the first blooms of the year!

105:4-15-11 (The first of many)

Eliana had her first doctors appointment today, and I went to get the TDaP vaccine. I guess you can't count the Walgreen's pharmacist as a 'Doctor' but she was very skilled with her sword nonetheless.

104:4-14-11 (Best day of the year)

As you can see, I spent my birthday tormenting this child. Happy birthday to ME ME ME!!

103:4-13-11 (All the help we can get)

Our first dinner after getting home from the hospital was kindly donated by Kim & Eli, great salad, enchiladas, and lemon meringue pie! What a great surprise!

102:4-12-11 (Crossing the threshold)

It feels like a road trip that lasted 4 years just came to an end. 

"Are we there yet?"
"Yes, yes we are."

101:4-11-11 (Family Dinner)

The hospital provided a "Celebration Dinner" for the two of us, and Eliana couldn't bear watching us eat without her so she made us include her. Family Dinner #1, Check.

100:4-10-11 (True to his word)

I have been saying since I was young, "The first diaper I change will by my child's." Shown here is my single reply to all those who have said, "But you'll need the practice!"....No, I didn't.

BTW, I too think I look ridiculously creepy weird in this picture. This face was first conceived in Oak Glen last fall.

99:4-9-11 (Better late than never)

13 minute old Eliana Sue Gregg. Born 8:57 PM (PST), April 9th, 2011 in Newport Beach, California. This also marks our first family picture.

98:4-8-11 (And they're off!)

This picture captures the last time we walk through that doorway as a "couple".

97:4-7-11 (The night before Christmas)

Going to sleep last night felt like we were trying to fall asleep on Christmas Eve. SUPER EXCITED!

96:4-6-11 (Edible Coin Purse)

 

We took one last chance to be irrational and eat out while we should be eating at home. This would make trip 36 to Soupplantation this week...mmmm

95:4-5-11(God's Thumbnail)

 

Silly us for even thinking a full moon might induce labor...it's already come and gone and Snow Pea's still just chillin out.

94:4-4-11 (Cat Nap before the Crazy Comes)

 

Even Garci is in the same boat as Holly and me, rest while we can...

93:4-3-11 (Walk Walk Walk)

 

Those ducks in the back are peeved that Slick Rick got the lady...yeah, that's right, keep waddling.

92:4-2-11(Shopping Plaza Vermin)

 

Funny Caption....see what i did there?

91:4-1-11 (Just ONE last trip...)

 

THIS KID ALREADY ROCKS!! She also provides a crap load of excuses to do things just "one more time" before she comes.
