Eliza's First Birthday

 We had a great time lavishing our love on this darling. She really a nice personality and has mannerisms that remind me of Clara and John. We blew up lots of balloons for her to play in. She would really get her arms moving to bat them away. We have her some bongo drums, and some small maracas that have been a big hit. Margaret picked out a fun plastic ball and Clara gave her these Russian nesting dolls that she is trying to get open. Eliza is so special to us. Since she is ours we can, and do, reserve the right to call her the best baby! Happy Birthday Eliza!
