Happy Birthday Eden Kay!


Dear Eden,

Today is your 1st birthday! I can't believe you're actually a toddler now. You're taking it in stride though, and this past month I've noticed that you have become quite the big girl now. You're walking like a pro, the climbing has increased in difficulty and danger level (much to my dismay), and you've mastered a few words (momma, dada, kitty) and have figured out how to get your point across with "no" by shaking your head. You've also got the pecking order figured out between you and your sister; however recently have decided that you're not ok with being second in line all the time, and we've all gotten used to hearing about it. For the most part though, you and Emma are learning to play very well together. You love to eat...anything and everything. If it can fit in your mouth, thats where we're likely to find it - sticks, rocks, sand, lug nuts from a Grayhound bus, etc. etc. You're also becoming quite the social butterfly - and love meeting new people and exploring as far and as fast as we'll let you. You are a pretty big fan of books too (your great-grandma would be so proud). Your favorite right now seems to be Brown Bear Brown Bear, and if you're not sitting in someone's lap reading it, you're carrying it around and chewing on it. As a family we've gone through major changes since you've joined us; we've moved twice - one of the moves being a pretty drastic one. You've also taken a major roadtrip vacation through 9 states and other than a few complaints about the carseat, seemed to enjoy it. All that to say that you seem to be pretty resiliant and just go with the flow...for the most part anyway - we still need to work on this 'sleeping through the night' thing, cause for-sure that is getting old and Im slowly losing the last few marbles your sister left behind. Your Daddy and I love you though, more than life itself, and we are so happy to be celebrating this special day with you. Happy Birthday Eden Kay. XOXO Mom
