Pictures from Temecula

We had a first birthday party for Eden in Temecula so that she could celebrate with her Arizona family. We were able to have her party in the big mansion that we rented for Tammy's wedding.

 Eden had two birthday cakes and tried cake for the first time.  She didn't seem to like it.

She opened presents with the help of Grant, Ava, and Carter.
She played with her new Elmo doll.

She played "What's your future career?" and crawled toward the baseball bat - twice!  Eden has softball player in her future.  Her dad was so proud.

She ate cake with mama,

played with Nana,

 ...and posed for many pictures!

All in all, Eden had a great day!


Here are some videos from her day:

Walking for the first time

Eden took her first steps at school.  Lucky for us, her teacher took a video of this momentous occasion.  Look how happy and proud of herself she is in this video.

Pretty Eyes

Eden has very pretty eyes. They are a mix of green, blue and brown. I guess that's hazel?

11 Months Old!!


I cannot believe that Eden is almost 1 year old!  Of course, I will post another general update on her birthday, but I wanted to write one now simply because she is doing and saying so many things.  

Here is a list of all the things that Eden is saying:

Woof (whenever she hears Rula bark)
Ball
Bear
Mama
Dada
More
Aqua
Leche
Mas
Doggie

Eden is also a very busy baby -- always doing something, she is never content to just sit still.  She is very curious and loves to explore things.  She seems to have boundless energy.  She is a very fast crawler, but she also loves to be held.  Eden has taken a couple of steps, but not quite walking yet.  She loves her mama and dada, and definitely prefers women to men.  In fact, she really doesn't like any men aside from her dad and papa (we hope she stays like this...at least until she is 21).  She loves eating meat, cheese, and yogurt.  She doesn't really like fruit or vegetables, but there are a few that she tolerates.  Eden weighs 21+ lbs now, and is definitely starting to trim down a bit.  This has been a really fun month with Eden.  I keep wondering how it can get any better, and yet she seems to just get cuter and more fun with each passing month.

Eden's Favorite Things

One of Eden's favorite things is to push the button on this toy, wait for our reaction, and dance to the music.  Very cute.  Also, she gets the biggest kick out of feeding her food to Rula (which she knows that she's not supposed to do).  This is what's cracking her up so much in the second video.

Walking on West Cliff

Believe it or not, this was the very first time that we took Eden walking on West Cliff.  Both she and Rula had a great time.
