Missy Moo & Cade-O Too!: April 2009

We Love It When Daddy Comes Home

Eden loves to play outside. The other day I had some of her shoes laying out, so she sits down and tries to put them on. It was a great effort with no success, but she at least knows now that shoes go on the feet not hands. After I helped her put on the shoes, she jumped up and started saying side…side. How could I say no? It was a beautiful day outside, so outside we went. We played for about thirty minutes running around and riding in the cool pink car when Daddy pulled up. First words out of her mouth, Dada! Eden loves it when dada pulls up when she’s playing outside because that means she gets to play with all the cool buttons in his car.

I just love seeing those two having fun. It truly makes your day when your child says momma or dada with open arms. Your heart just melts.

After watching them play for a while it was time to come inside, which she did not want to do. She’s just One, I keep reminding myself. Ha! So after we calm down for a little bit we all decide that tonight should be breakfast night. This means daddy’s in charge of fixing pancakes. He’s the BEST!

MMMMMmmmm! Breakfast dinner is always a good choice. It leaves my tummy feeling good! I know it had to have made Eden’s tummy feel good because all she could say throughout her meal was mmmm, after every bite, which she fed her self. Ask me if it got a little messy? Yes, yes it did, but it was so cute watching her try to use her fork on her pancakes.

I’m happy to say that breakfast dinner was a hit and it will be happening more often.

And the results of Eden after her pankcake mess...

Pillows and Cell Phones Eden's Best Friend

Have a mentioned before just how much our little girl likes to talk on the phone. She knows exactly where we keep our home phones, for they are now in Eden's reach. Eden is constantly saying hello, hello, hello, and if she doesn't have a phone near by, no need to worry, the closest object will be fine. Who ever thought that a foot, hand, spoon, sunglasses, remote control, ball, and even a sippy cup can be used as a phone. We really do have to watch what we give her as a phone, because whatever we do give her ends up stuffed down the ball machine if it will fit.

Hey, I'm loving the ball machine by the way. It really does keep her occupied. She now chases the balls around laughing saying ball, ball, ball!!

Another fun thing Eden enjoys doing is playing in heaps of pillows. She likes to jump on them, hide under them, throw them, and when she gets tired of all the above she likes to lay on them, only for a few seconds though and then she's off to explore new things. The girl loves pillows I must say. I wonder who she got that from... Ok, it was me. I love pillows too. I sleep with three. No more or there woudn't be enough room for Andrew. I'm so glad he doesn't mind my pillows.

I also like a good blanket and right now I like the one that's over me but it's really hard to type. I have to take my arms out and right now the cold air is blowing right on me. It's a little cold and it's getting kind of hard to type because i'm shaking. I either need one of those blankets with sleeves or I need to move.

On another note, I was thinking a little bit about the title of my blog. When I first started my blog I was so excited but couldn't really think of a title at the time that would stick with me forever. I kind of just worte these words down in no particular order. Now I'm glad I did. Because loving is what I do on a daily basis to my God, husband, daughter, family, and friends. I am constantly laughing because of the silly things I see Eden do or the funny things that Andrew says. I have to laugh at myself a lot as well because honestly I do before I think and the end result is usually funny. I enjoy living. I live everyday with a thankful heart. I feel very blessed by so many things. Sharing is what I do with you all on my blog. I enjoy sharing our families life experiences because to sum it all up, we enjoy sharing our laughter, love, and living everyday thankful that we can do those things one more day.

I think now though I'm going to add a little something different at the bottom.

This is how we roll

I have a few things I want to share on this blog. Let me start out with a game Eden and I like to play called here we go round the couch again.

I love how she gets so tickled. Her laughing is very contagious as well as her huge smile.

Here is something new Eden just started doing. We had just finished dinner and Andrew and I were cleaning up. Little Miss Eden decided she would help out too.

Last but certainly not least, here is Eden and her BFF Emma. They called each other on the phone and said lets wear the same pj’s. Don’t they look so cute? (Thanks Elizabeth for the adorable pj’s. We love them!)

1 year exam

While this is fresh on my mind, I want to share Eden's 1 year update.

Our little girl weighs 21lbs. & 15oz. She is in the 50th percentile

Her length was 30in. this puts her in the 90th percentile

Her head circumfrence was 18in. this puts her in the 50th percentile.

The doctor gave her a GREAT! report. I am so blessed to have a healthy child. Andrew and I thank God everyday for a wonderful little girl.

A few other things I want to remember about Eden at this age.

* She is saying: dada, mama, ball, bye, dink, mo, and was dat

Things she can't live without

* Juice

* Her baby dolls

* Her snacks

* A few of her books

* Her ball

* One of her favorite things to do is try and do summersaults.

* She is a little dare devil and loves to be flipped upside down.

* She has become a lot more clingy to her mommy, which I just love

* She is always willing to give out hugs and kisses.

* And she just loves being around smaller babies. She is all about patting them and saying ohh, ohh and doing the sign for baby. If would let her she would try and pick them up like her own little babies.

* The very last thing she loves to do is run full speed. (Our sweet girl only knows one speed full speed and thats what I love about her) We never have a dull moment in this house.

Happy 1st Easter

Eden just wanted to say Happy Easter to her grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends.

We missed seeing everyone yesterday but we kept you near to our hearts.

I took only a few pictures because someone was a little cranky.

I think she looked adorable.

Hopefully next Easter we can get a picture of all of us.

A little bit of everything

Here is a little collection of pictures and a video of things we did this week.

Have a great weekend!

A girl and her party dress.

Hi again. Were back from our little vacation, I know it’s been a while since I blogged but let me start where I left off. We were just leaving town to celebrate Eden’s first birthday in Springdale with family and friends.

Well, the party was a success and we had way too much fun if that’s possible. So without further ado here are the party pictues.
