18 Months Already?

 

Our little Eden Bay turned 18 months yesterday.  We can't believe she is already so big!  We celebrated her half birthday with streamers and donuts.

 Eden is changing and growing so much every day.  

Dear Eden,

You are officially a year and half old.  You are Miss Independent!  You want to do everything by yourself right now (something I know isn't going to go away). You love music, dancing, and singing more than anything else (well maybe not as much as food).    You are starting to talk a little more.  Right now your favorite words are: up, out, baby, agua, Lilly, Mama, this, and no.  You've been really wanting to use the potty.  You have been pretty good at going on the big potty when you wake up from your naps, when you get up in the morning, and before you go to bed.  You have such a tender heart.  Summertime is hear and you love popsicles, going on walks in your bare feet, and playing in the water.  Thank you for being such an amazing, funny, sweet little girl!

Love, Mom, Dad, & Lilly

 

 Eden's half birthday just happened to fall on National Donut Day!

 We thought we would take advantage of the free donuts and introduce Eden to her first Krispy Kreme.

Needless to say she LOVED it! 

No we didn't let her eat the entire donut.  I think she would have been sick.

Aunt Bryndy

 The week before Easter Bryndy came for a visit during her Spring Break from teaching.  

We had so much fun having her here with us!  

Eden LOVES her Aunt Bryndy!

(Lots of pics to follow)

 One of our adventures was walking around Stow Lake.

 

We fed the ducks and watched all the squirrels eating their peanuts.

 Stow Lake has this beautiful waterfall and pond that we hadn't seen before.

 This was another cool spot we hadn't been to before.

 

Our next adventure was visiting California Academy of Sciences.  

We stopped by the water fountain to make some wishes with our pennies.

 We made a stop at Koret Childern's Quarter in Golden Gate Park.

We went over to the mall and had so much fun watching little E shop.  She LOVED all of the purses and was a really good girl when I asked her to put them away. No tantrums!  She just put them back and waved bye bye.  

 Brady got out of school early on Thursday and was off Friday so we took advantage of having him home.  Here we are at Coit Tower. 

We even went to the top to see the beautiful view!

My little love!

 Brady and Bryndy went over to the Oakland Temple to see the Lamb of God Easter performance.

 Cute brother and sister shot!

 Aunt Bryndy was here for our annual Easter egg hunt by our house. 

Thanks for coming out and for all of the FUN!

WE MISS YOU BRYNDY!

Eden

 We had a little Easter photo shoot on our patio.  We can't get enough of this little lady!

She is getting so BIG!

 

Eden is almost 16 months!!! 

She is always MOVING.  She LOVES to dance.

 

Eden loved hunting for her Easter eggs this year.

 Edee's hair is getting pretty long ( I really don't want to cut it!) but luckily it has a little curl to it. 

I was really surprised that she left her headband on while I was taking these pictures.  They usually stay on for about 5 seconds.

 She really is such a sweetheart!

 Eden's new favorite thing is looking at and watering our flowers in our garden. She will point to the flowers outside and say "agua"

She also loves to blow KISSES

We love you baby E!

Easter 2013

We had such an amazing Easter weekend!  It was so much fun to celebrate with Eden this year.  She loved coloring and finding all of her eggs.  Her favorite thing was to carry around her basket!

We started our Easter weekend with an Easter egg hunt and meeting the Easter Bunny.

Eden didn't love meeting the Easter Bunny very much this year:(

Eden and I running to get some eggs:)

 

 Eden loved spending time with her Aunt Bryndy during her spring break!

Coloring eggs for the first time

 

Eden did such a good job putting all of the eggs into the cups of coloring

 

 Edee kept putting her eggs above her head. 

I think she was showing how proud she was!
