Eden loves to swim!!!

It was another record breaking 90 degree day....so we hit the pool after having lunch at the Byrd family reunion.  It was so hot, Eden only flinched briefly when the cool water hit her belly.  After getting her into the water, I could tell she didn't want to get out.  And I thought I would be spending the summer with her on the deck, in the shade.  What was I thinking?!

Happy Birthday Mommy!!


We celebrated Mommy's birthday on Saturday, with a pool party at Papa and GG's house.  We had record hot weather, up in the 90s.  Perfect!!  Eden was introduced to the summertime rituals of  life by the pool.
GG got a cake and put too many candles on it, I think...
Eden had her eye on that cake....
and when she got closer to  it, she dove right in!!

Ashton, Myers and Peyton...

ASPCA Dog Walk!



Eden is 7 months old now.  She sits up to play, rolls over to get to something she wants, feeds herself her "puffs" and has even started "drinking" out of a sippy cup.
We've found that the animals are very entertaining to her.  She looks for them whenever she hears them bark outside, or roll around in the other room.  I heard about the ASPCA 3K dog walk that was going on downtown this weekend and thought that she would enjoy seeing all of the puppies while strolling along outside.  The weather was spectacular, 80 degrees...perfect.
We brought only Bella, since the walk was going to be too long for Sierra.  Not to mention, too many things to pee on along the way.  He wasn't interested in going at all, Cam said he ran to the front door (to get inside) when he started up the bus.
We heard that there were more than 2500 people there today.  I believe it.  All we could see ahead of us were people and pooches.  All we could see behind us were people and pooches.  It was NUTS!
The walk took about an hour and so it was lunchtime by the time we were finished. We walked down to Fayetteville Street for lunch outside.  Eden entertained herself in a highchair for over an hour!

It was late in the day when we finally headed home.  I think Eden fell asleep within 10 seconds.

Sick, huh?

Eden had to stay home from daycare today because she threw up at school yesterday.
I think she was faking it so we could stay home and play together!!!

Happy Easter!

Eden is one week shy of 7 months at Easter this year.  
She is back to sitting up, rolling over, sleeping on her belly and crawling like an inch worm.  We had a very quiet holiday, Eden was sick but in great spirits.  So, we went to the Homeplace for lunch and spent time outside sitting in the grass watching Landon and Kenzie hunt for Easter Eggs.
PaPa and GG we happy to see Eden.

The fun ended abruptly, when Eden's naptime rolled around (see SourPuss below).
