Elizabeth is was Three Weeks! (A few days ago :)

Hello all! I'm a few days late with this post. Cline just finished up a long stretch at work, and it's very difficult to get to the computer without children at an hour when I'm not completely exhausted, so that's my excuse. We are still doing really well, and I'm starting to think that 3 kids is easier than 2. This time around, Abby Kate and Christa entertain each other, so I am getting plenty of time to snuggle with sweet Elizabeth. She is still eating and sleeping like a champ! Oh, and her belly button finally fell off today. That's always a little bittersweet for me - I'm excited to give her a "real" bath, but that belly button was the mark of a true newborn... and now it's gone. Oh well - onto bigger and better things, I guess. Here are some pictures from our last week (and a half:)!


Crazy hair after a bath. She might not have much, but we had a good laugh at what she had this day!

1st trip to church (last Sunday). We hesitated, because we try to keep our newborns away from big crowds this early on. But I'm just not the sit-at-home type, and I was ready to see friends and get back into some semblance of our routine, so we decided to go.

Yet, another attempt to get a picture of all 3 girls! The green outfits were actually matching rompers that Christa and Abby Kate wore shortly after Abby Kate was born.

3 week birthday! This is one of my favorite outfits - all 3 of my girls have worn it.

I swear this child has smiled already - with her eyes open! It seems crazy early, and I'm sure they're still just the random facial movements, but she's done it several times. (This is probably my very favorite outfit, and all 3 girls have worn it, too. I still remember seeing it in Janie and Jack - now, my very favorite store - and hinting to my mom that I loved it when I was pregnant with Christa. It wasn't cheap, but my mom bought it for me anyway, along with the matching hat, and all 3 of my girls have had their newborn pictures made in it.)

Ready for church again today!

By the way, does anyone know how to actually get the hairbow to stick to the head?? I never tried it with Christa or Abby Kate, but the pink hairbow looked so cute in Elizabeth's hair in the hospital, that I've tried to replicate it several times. The nurses told me that they use KY Jelly, so that's what I've tried. It stuck like glue in the hospital, but now I can't get the bow to stay long enough for the jelly to dry, despite multiple efforts! Suggestions would be appreciated :)

Off to relax with my sweet husband for a while! Have a great day!
