Grandma's Here!!! (August 31-September 5, 2009)

My mom, or Grandma Holly, finally arrived on the 31st of August.  She had been trying for days to get out here to Michigan, but the flights kept filling up.  I was so happy that she finally made it here.  It has been a real gift that she could even come out.  Now we can do the many projects that we have been talking about, and just enjoy each others company.

After picking my mom up from the airport shuttle, we took Elizabeth to the doctors for another check up.  She weighed 7 pounds and 9 1/4 ounces.  The doctor said that he looks for Elizabeth gaining about an ounce a day, and when he calculated it she had gained about 2 ounces a day.  We are definitely not worried anymore about how well she is eating because she is obviously getting plenty of food.

Elizabeth's first night sleeping in the play yard that is in the living room so that Grandma Holly can sleep in her room

A couple of cute pictures of Elizabeth with her Grandma Holly

(Notice Elizabeth's tongue in the second picture, it is long and always moving)

 

 

Grandma Holly playing with Elizabeth's adorable feet.  When she put Elizabeth's feet together she curled her toes.
