Oh, what a whirl!

Four incredible months. Watching Eloise grow these past four months have once again opened my eyes to the amazing hands of my Creator. God is awesome. As I stare down at her while she is nursing, I think about how just one year ago, I had that positive pregnancy test. Where a small part of me and a small part of her dad came together to create what is now this living, breathing, smiling, cooing, drooling, cuteness of a baby. Let anyone who's ever had a child, or even just held a child for a moment in their arms, see and realize the greatness that is God. It has never been more real to me as it is looking into my daughters eyes. Holding her hands, kissing her feet, singing in her ear. She is perfection. God's perfection.

Tummy time.

Baby Klemsz.


Well, we sure had a fun-filled Saturday! It started out hot as we headed to the Prairie Hill Learning Center to celebrate MilkWorks 10th anniversary of supporting breastfeeding families. We packed Eloise up in the wrap and we explored the country school and farm. Take a look at all the fun we had!

Watching the pony rides.

Dancing to the String Beans!


Tracing Eloise's hand print for the MilkWorks mural.

Watching the sheep and ponies eat.


Pretty.

Sunflowers as big as her head!


Watching the bubbles.

Exploring with Daddy. It was HOT!

Love the owls.

Strollin'.

Wore out.

As I mentioned, Eloise is 4 months old today! I hear a lot of moms say it, but this is my favorite stage yet (I know I'll say that next month, too!) Take a look at this cuteness...


Ruffles!


Oh, stop.


Eloise also rolled over from her back to her tummy this past week (with a diaper and clothes on even! So that means I can share the video!)



Another adorable new thing she found is her feet. Diaper changes may never be the same! And speaking of diapers, she's now graduated to the next size of FuzziBunz.

What?

See, look Mom. My feet!

Gran likes to play "Kiss the Pigs" with Eloise.

Eloise loves it! She'll stick out her foot if Gran backs away.

Eloise and her delicious Mac & Cheese FuzziBunz.



She is growing like a weed. She's about 14 1/2 pounds (today anyway...) I'm already sorting through and packing up so many clothes and diapers that are too small for her now. As well as some toys that she has outgrown already. (You can't bounce very well in your seat when your bottom touches the ground...) It's crazy to be packing it all away until next time...

An exciting week to come! Justin and I are celebrating our 6 year anniversary! Unbelievable! Also up this weekend, Justin and I will be one of the couples on a cloth diapering panel at MilkWorks. Expecting and curious parents get to come ask questions and see what the real life scoop is about poop (in cloth diapering anyway). We are very excited! : )
