Eden: 4 Months!

How has another month already gone by?! Eden seriously just turned 3 months! Slow down, time! My baby girl is growing TOO fast!

Things about Eden this month:
* Her face when she fusses herself to sleep is priceless. She's snoozing, but she's still sure to make it known that she's not happy about it by keeping that bottom lip stuck out.
* She'll suck her thumb or take a paci if she's sleepy.
* She's a pretty light sleeper. Keith jokes that she sleeps with one eye open. Except that he's not joking. ;)
* She's not very consistent with night time sleep. Some nights she'll go 6-7 hours before waking up and then others she'll wake every 3 hours (with more nights than not being the 3 hour intervals). She's always ready to go down for the night by 7, which frees me up to spend some time with Parker so that's nice, but she won't do a dream feed making getting all the way through the night pretty impossible.
* She still wants to be held a lot, but if she's not being held she prefers sitting up to lying down.
* She has quite the grip and holds on tight to toys, fingers, and hair!
* She loves to kick.
* She's not a huge fan of the car. She does better if I can sit in the back so she can see me.
* She's got some healthy lungs, which her Granddaddy can attest too since one night she screamed in his ear so loudly and for so long that he had to plug it with a tissue.
* She smiles at her brother constantly and he gets so excited saying, "E smiled!" and "E smiled again!"
* The girl is not ticklish. I've tried tickling her neck, toes, and everywhere in between and she just looks at me like I'm crazy.

Halloween 2014

This year we had a silly Cookie Monster and a sweet strawberry for Halloween.

Keith carved Tow Mater into our pumpkin.

These furry and fleece-y costumes were perfect for trick or treating Halloween night- the whole 10 minutes we lasted out in the windy chilly air! Parker quickly got the hang of what to do (after the first house where he just marched himself right into our neighbor's living room!). He would ring the doorbell, say "Trick or Treat" or sometimes "Rice Krispies treats!" and as soon as candy hit his bucket he would declare, "next house!" (side note: there have been a lot of birthdays at school in the past month and he's had Rice Krispies treats several times now so they must be on the brain.)

Other Halloween fun:

Trunk or Treat

80 degrees called for a Batman tee and cape in lieu of a fuzzy Cookie Monster.

Festive Food:

Happy Halloween!
