Blue Eyed Girl

Eden’s eyes are dark blue right now.  I know that they can change and won’t be set until 6 months, but for now they are blue.  She has some highlights in her eyes which makes her doctor think that they might be hazel.  This would make sense because my eyes are brown and Markham’s eyes are green.

Lovin’ the Boppy

Everybody raves about ‘My Brest Friend’ (http://www.mybrestfriend.com/), but after trying both the Brest Friend and the Boppy, I definitely prefer the Boppy.  It also makes for a convenient baby pillow.  Here are some shots of Eden chillin’ out on her Boppy.

What a Sleepyhead!!

Eden is such a sleepyhead!  We constantly have to wake her up to feed her, and she falls asleep during most feedings.  This is bad news because it usually means that she’ll want to feed again an hour later.  As a result, we’ve resorted to finding creative ways to wake her up, but nothing seems to work very well.  Here are some shots of Markham trying to burb her and rub a wet wash cloth on her face.  These techniques only make her twitch a little before she drifts off to sleep again.  A wet wash cloth to the belly seems to work better.  Undressing her and changing her diaper also does the trick, but she usually falls asleep again after we change her.  Ugggh!

Visit from the Grandmas

We were lucky enough to have both grandmas visiting us at the same time.  They cooked and helped with cleaning the house, which allowed us to focus all of our attention on little Eden.  Big thanks to Nanny and Grandma Yonkers!

Eat, Sleep, Poo

So far, Eden is a really good baby.  Her favorite past times are eating, sleeping and pooping.  That’s pretty much all she does.  She doesn’t really cry.  As long as she gets to eat, she’s a happy baby.  Here’s a picture of her sleeping.  I’ll spare you the images of her eating and pooping.

First Doctor Visit

Eden had her first visit to the pediatrician’s office.  Amazingly, she’s almost back at her birth weight and she didn’t cry at all for the doctor.  Doctor says that she’s doing great and doesn’t need to come back until her 2 month visit when she’ll get her vaccinations.
