Eden update

Alright, here we go again. I think it's impossible for me to do a post about Eden without posting an excessive amount of pictures. I really try, but it's too hard. Eden is 8 1/2 months old now. Not a whole lot has changed about her since the last update. The big thing we are working on right now is crawling. She is so close, but hasn't quite gotten the hang of it yet. She tries so hard, it's really pretty funny and sweet. I personally don't mind that she hasn't quite figured it out yet. I mostly just want her to learn for her own sake because I know how much she would love it. She is so curious, and so active and full of energy...I just know she'd love being able to get around and explore. I guess that is something I should be dreading...but I'm actually looking forward to it! She is such a fun baby...here are a few pictures from the last couple of weeks.

8-months-old and loving it...

(I just love babies in white jammies!)

One of the best parts of my day...

when Eden wakes up from her naps.

(I must admit, her going down for her naps

is pretty nice too. Isn't it funny how that is?)

I love how excited she is when she first sees me!
Being a mom is awesome.

Just cute.

Just happy.


Crawling practice...

Crawling practice usually turns into rolling practice...

Cracking up at her silly brother...

Up close and personal...

Last picture...I just think she has a sweet little profile. :)

Love Day

I just wanted to document some of our Valentine's Day celebrations. (We love celebrating everything...and I really love Valentine's day. I think the only holiday I don't care too much for is St. Patty's day. I just don't get that one.)

The big job of writing out the Valentine's for their classes...

for Emily it was a piece of cake.

Poor Justin was bored and "so tired" after writing out about

three for his class. Emily eventually took over for him. :)

We had friends over to make these cute heart shaped crayons.
I can't take any credit for the idea...check out my friend Becca's
wonderful blog for instructions. We had so much fun making them!

Hard at work making Valentine's with their new crayons...

Emily and Justin woke up Saturday morning to a date with Daddy

to Krispy Kreme. What could be better?

Me? I enjoyed a lovely breakfast in bed, courtesy of Miss Emily.

It consisted of: A bowl of honey nut cheerios, a delectable

heart shaped pastry made by Hostess, and the

best part...a love note from my girl.

The kids enjoyed a game of Valentine's Day Bingo.

Thank you (again) Becca!

The cute bead necklace Emily made from Grandma.

Why I'm so lucky...
