Look Mom, I found my ear!

So Eden has found her left ear within the last few days.  She loves to take her left hand and reach back and play with her left ear.  Apparently she doesn't realize she has another one on her right side.  Even tried showing her in the mirror and she still doesn't get it.  Too funny!  Overall she is doing great.  Her sleeping is a little bit perplexing...sometimes she goes to 4am or 5am and sometimes she is up at 3am.  Can't figure it out.  She had her four month check up last week and she is tall and skinny!  In the 70% in height and 20% in weight.  Doctor Allison was impressed with how alert and strong she is.  The nurses loved her version of boat (the yoga pose), she lifts up her head and legs creating a V with her body....pretty impressive!  We are still enjoying mommy baby yoga every Thursday.  Eden is fascinated with all the movement and she loves the music.  


Brian and I are still adjusting to the life of parenthood.  Brian and I are trying to balance work without having Eden in daycare.  Brian has her 3 to 3.5 days a week and I have her the rest of the time.  For me work seems to be twice as busy as when I left so it is proving to be challenging.  I am also traveling a lot which is wearing me out.  Thankfully Eden does great with Brian.  She loves to go on bike rides with Daddy when the weather is warm enough.  She just lights up whenever she sees him!  Daddy's girl!


We are spending a lot of time thinking and praying for Kim's dad, Doug.  He was diagnosed with stage 4 melanoma in January and just started treatment this week.  Life is so precious.  We know God has a plan for him so trying to find comfort and encouragement in that.


Overall Brian and I feel very blessed in our life and are so thankful for Eden and the gift she is to us.

Eden's first airplane ride

This was Eden's first airplane trip. Mommy and Eden headed back to Michigan for a few days. The pilot thought that she was so cute that they asked her to come sit up in the cockpit for a photo shoot. Adorable!  Overall she did a great job flying. 

Valentine from Grandma!

Mom...can I eat this too?

Eden's first snowshoe trip

Denver got dumped on the past two days with snow.  Probably 14 inches at our house and over 20 inches in the foothills.  It cleared up today so we decided to take Eden snowshoeing at Liar of the Bear open space.  It was beautiful and Eden seemed to enjoy it.  We went a mile and a half total and Eden was awake most of the time.  She feel asleep right towards the end.  Her snowsuit is a little too big but it kept her warm!

small stream to cross...Eden seems intrigued....

all smiles!

snow to our knees!

go daddy go!

All that work I am exhausted.

Cute family huh!

Eden loves to sit in our bed while I make it...she thinks she is just Queen Tut!

Check out my High Chair

We decided that it was time to get Eden into her high chair so we could eat dinner at the table.  She loves it!
