Andrew's Party, Beth's game, LCA visit...

Eden watched dad and Andrew tear apart the washing machine.

Andrew's fine demolition skills.

They were in search of the drum. They got it out (after 3 hours) and we had a bonfire in it during Andrew's birthday/gradution party.

She kept making a run for it, well, more like a crawl for it.

These are my favorite pictures from the past few weeks. This Polo dress is from Aunt Lori and Uncle Lee-- thanks!!




All Eden had to eat one day was beans and apricots. The result: 20 very messy diapers. I had to give her Pedialyte to solve the problem. She would rather chew on the lid than actually drink the grape yumminess.

I picked Eden up from daycare early last Friday and we went to visit dad in his classroom. His 7th graders adored her, and she loved the attention (and the container of wipes that she chewed on).


Eden and I went to our friend Beth's softball game at LU.

Black Eye and Deer Parts

This weekend was an adventure, to say the least. Rookie, being the excellent retreiver that he is, brought us a deer head and leg- on two separate occasions.

Then, Eden got a black eye. She and I went to Northern VA with Holly Myers this weekend. We were almost ready to head home when Eden... fell? She was sitting in big chair (the sofa type) and decided to test her leg strength. She stood up quickly and went flying over the arm rest and landed on the hardwood floor. She landed on her head (more like her eye) and then tumbled over. On the ride home, her eye starting getting puffy and turning purple. See below...

Eden is a cheerleader at Miss Cindie's today! She says "Go Daddy"!

First Teeth

Eden is getting her first teeth. She is the perfect child. She hasn't cried and is still sleeping through the night. As long as she has something to chew on, she's a happy camper!

The Daycare Life of Eden

It all started off with a very masculine outfit. What girl wouldn't want to wear a red, white and blue outfit that said "Daddy's Team"? I'm glad that Daddy made mom put an headband on my head.

Next, I got to play with my friend Caleb. He thinks he's bigger and older than me, so I grab his hair to remind him that girls rule and boys drool.

I'm learning to share, but it's a slow process. Normally, I just stare at them until they go away.

My favorite thing to say is "oh". This is my OH face.

I like to smile really big and have my picture taken because then Miss Cindie thinks that I understand what she's saying.

Sometimes she lets me babysit Lydia.

Lydia loves it when I poke her in the mouth. It's a fun game.

I get to take a nap right before my mom comes to pick me up. I love it when I only have to wear my diaper. I pretend like I'm sleeping until Miss Cindie leaves the room, and then I play with my doll.

Videos!

Spring break

Normally, the term "spring break" brings exitement and a vacation. This year, it only means work on the house, catching up on grad school and taking care of an infant and puppy. Things were much simpler last year. Eden is starting to get a little attitude, and by attitude, I mean that she will smile at everything and laugh at anything. However, she still hates baths. It doesn't matter if she's in the bathtub or the sink, if the water is hot or cold, if mom's in there with her... she hates it all. Our neighbors probably think we're beating her!

Her favorite past time is watching Rookie run around. Her high chair is her little observation tower. She stares intently and squirms when he licks her face. It's precious.

We're in the process of planning a trip to New York City and Boston this summer. It will be our first trip without Eden. Party!!

Here are a few pictures from daycare last week:

Grandma Sheryl Visit

Grandma Sheryl came to visit this weekend. Eden had a great time with her and Uncle Andrew. Brock went to Pittsburgh for the weekend for a coach's conference, so it was the girls and Andrew having fun in Lynchburg.











She LOVES baby food. According to Eden, bananas are a little taste of heaven.
