Play Date

We have had so much fun this past week that I have really neglected this blog. There are tons of cute pics to catch you up on the past weeks events but since this blog is primarily for Jon & he was home the past week I am going to skip those pics & just post the one's Jon wants to see most - the pics from today. Today we had a play date with my friend Lauren and her (almost) 1 yr old Alexis. We had lots of fun!

Friday - Swim Day!!

We had another fun day at swim lessons - no pics though, oops. Eden floated all by herself, with the swim instructor only touching her head. Then we stopped by the mall to buy presents for Easton's first birthday and parked at the fire station so we could see Daddy. Eden had tons of fun seeing her dad and I know she is gonna have the best day of her life tomorrow because it's Daddy Day! I will be at work, and since I hardly ever work I am going to try to enjoy it and not miss my baby girl too much.

Look Dad - I'm double fisted! I wasn't supposed to feed her solid food today, because she seems a bit backed up, but 4 o'clock rolled around and she seemed so hungry - so I fed her a little peas in prune juice. This was a decision that I am already regretting slightly but she enjoyed it so much and ate everything, so it's sort of a wash at this point. I may be regretting it more later - I'll keep you posted.

We Love you Daddy!

These pics are from before Christmas, but they are such nice pics of Jon and Eden. Eden loves and adores Jon so much. Her whole being lights up when he walks into the room, or even simply looks her way. Jon has been working a lot lately, so he hasn't been able to spend as much time with Eden as he would like. But I want you to know Jon that we are grateful, and we love you, and miss you every second. Oh ya, and you are the best dad in the world!

Swimming

When I woke up this morning, I was so excited that it was Monday because that meant Friday - swim day, would be here soon. Here are a couple of my favorite pics from swimming the other day.

Something New Everyday

Joshua Tree

We went to Joshua Tree the other day. Here are a couple pictures of Megan and Eden walking in an area known as the outback.

Here is Eden on her first climb all by herself.

Well almost. She still made mom so proud. Megan is all ready talking about all the climbs they are going to do together.

Mom and Dad got to climb some too.

Klamath - Eden's all time favorite playmate.

First time in the high chair.

Eden is pretty serious about eating.

Just Another Day

We had another fun filled and productive day today. It started with a play date with our best girlfriend Piper. Eden was ecstatic to be playing with Piper. I've actually never seen her behave quite the way she behaved when we sat her next to Piper, she was screaming in delight. It was something else.

Later we had Eden's 6mo check up. She weighed in at 15lbs 2oz & was 26 1/4 inches long. She did really well at the check-up, just happy & smiling the entire time, putting on a show for everyone. Up until now Eden has been a very intense baby, but maybe she is coming out of it, because today she was a goofy as goofy gets. I mean it was really unbelievable.

I ended the day by making my first batch of baby food - peas. This was an extremely proud moment for me. I assumed it would be easy, but the prospect of actually doing it was still daunting. I feel like I have overcome a huge hurdle in making the first batch. Now I know just how easy it can be, and I can't wait to make more. I think squash will be next - yummy.
