Letters to Eloise - 4 Months to 5 (May)

Eloise, after your crazy third month of life, things kind of settled down a little bit during your fourth.  We still had some fun adventures though.  We had a Cinco De Mayo party with some friends from the ward.  You got to hang out with a bunch of your friends! There were so many girls born around the same time as you.  It was so fun seeing you around all of those babies.  

May 9, you and I headed back to Vegas to stay with Grandma and Papa Gorham, while daddy went to Ohio for a business training.  We had lots of fun hanging out with your uncles and grandparents.  We were there for 2 weeks! We sure missed your dad though.  He got to see the Drown's while he was in Ohio.  So I was super jealous of that.  We also got to celebrate Mother's Day while we were in Vegas.  It was super sad to not have your dad there for my first Mother's Day, but it was still super special, and I am so glad you were there with me.  Also while we were in Vegas, we took a day trip up to St. George to go see Great-Grandma and Great-Grandpa Truman.  You got to have lots of cuddle time with them, and you got your first real experience in grass!  It was so fun watching you rub your hands through it.  Our 2 weeks there flew by, and we eventually had to head back to California.  What an experience that was.  You had pooped and leaked all over your clothes and carseat, and all of your clothes were in the suitcase I had just sent through to be checked.  So I had to go to the bathroom and scrub down your pants, put the wet pants back on you, and carry you through security and to the gate without a baby carrier.  We luckily made it onto our flight and were able to see daddy after being apart for so long.  It was a great reunion and you were so happy to see him, and vice-versa.  

May 24 we did a day trip up to Tilden Regional Park up in Berkeley.  It was so much fun.  It was so nice being outdoors and letting you experience some of this beautiful world we have.  We went through the Rose Garden there, had a picnic, and went to the little petting zoo they had.  Than we ended the evening with some pizza from Cheeseboard, and ate it overlooking the entire bay.  It's kind of sad to think that you won't remember any of these things, which is why I am so glad I am writing this all down for you, so you could know all of the stuff we did and experienced with you.  

This month you started sleeping on your stomach.  I almost had a heart attack when I woke up one morning to look at the monitor and you were on your stomach.  Your dad and I ran in there so fast to make sure you were ok, and you were perfectly fine.  You also started rolling EVERYWHERE!! That was how you got around was by rolling.  Your hand never left your mouth.  You ate your hand any chance you could get, and pretty much whatever else you could pick up and put in there.  Every month you got so much more personality, and it was so awesome seeing you discover the world around you.  You are seriously perfect little girl, and your dad and I love you so much.
