Eden: 10 months!
* Loves to see us clap and for us to clap her hands.
* Looks for us and laughs when we play peek-a-boo.
* Sleeps on her back or side, mostly with a swaddle blanket over her face.
* New favorite word: mama :)
* She is all about Parker's train tracks to his great frustration.

* She is all about Parker's train tracks to his great frustration.
* She's so strong and likes to try to dive out of my arms if she sees something she wants.
* Milestones: got her two top teeth on 4/21 (right) and 4/25 (left) for 4 total, crawled forward for the first time on 4/28 (although not continuously forward until May), found sitting up in bed for the first time on 4/29.
* Likes to be rocked all of a sudden.
* Discovered door stoppers.
* Loves to splash in the tub.
* When strangers talk to her she either gives a bashful smile or bursts into tears.
* Still waking up at least twice a night. Napping twice a day although she really needs three naps to ward off the early evening grumpiness.
* Mommy is still her favorite person, but Parker and Daddy are a close second. :)

Mother's Day 2015
I spent today cuddling a teething baby with a double ear infection (second in two weeks, ugh) and eating popsicles with my sweet, wild boy. Not the Mother's Day that had been planned, but still spent with my favorites.
All About Mom- Parker, Age 3:
* My Mom's name is Mommy.
* She is 5 years old.
* My Mom's job is at home.
* My Mom is happiest when she is playing with Jeeps.
* My favorite thing to do with my Mom is play trains.
* If I could buy my Mom any gift, I would buy her an elephant.
* My Mom looks prettiest when I don't know.
* My Mom always says take a good nap.
* I love my Mom more than popsicles.

Parker is 3!!!
THREE.
* He loves icing. And chocolate. And sweets in general. I guess he takes after his mama. He struggles eating significant quantities at meal times (he's always wanting to "get down" and "go play") so dessert has helped get him to eat. And it's not like he doesn't need the calories. He's in the 10th percentile for weight and height.
* He has such an imagination. I love seeing it in action. Whether it's trains, cooking in his kitchen, using his doctor kit to give Eden checkups, or playing with his cars, he's always making up stories and scenarios.
* He has a million nicknames for Eden. I seriously can't remember them all. Eeks, Eden cheese, E-Rex, Easel...
* He turned three and all of a sudden became a cuddler (love it!) and a whiner (hate it!).
* The things he says: Remember that time... I not want you to tell me! Mommy, let's talk. I want to go there too! (when I told him I was going insane.) I love construction (or trains)! I want you to hooold me. I want a snack! Where's that way go? Far away away. Aw man! I neeeeed something. I'm getting bigger and bigger! Hey Mommy, Hey Mommy, Hey Mommy...
* He went to his first dentist appointment and did awesome! He had his teeth counted, checked, and brushed, and got fluoride with no hesitation. The dentist rewarded him with two mini construction trucks from the treasure chest. I rewarded him with ice cream (ha, I know) and a visit to a construction site to watch all of the trucks in action.
* He loves music and requests "his songs" every time we get in the car and they have to be loud. He also loves "dancing" although his version of dancing is pretty much just running around. He's going to be a track star someday. ;)
* He's a little crafter. Coloring, cutting, painting, all of it.
* He's the BEST booboo kisser. :)
* He's a pretty good sharer (although he has his moments) and I'm so proud of him for that!
* He no longer naps. I try to make sure he has some quiet time every day and he usually just plays independently or "reads" books during this time. Some days if we're in the car for awhile he'll fall asleep. I can usually transition him to his bed from the car, but most of the time he wakes up grumpy so I'm not sure it's a good thing when he does sleep.
* He loves his friends. It is so cute how he talks about them and gets excited about seeing them.
* He is officially no longer attached to his lovey, Wade/Waif/Wave. I wasn't ready for that.
* He is the silliest, sweetest, smartest little rascal and we are so lucky he is ours! :)
So much celebrating this boy!
