2 months and 21 months

Eden was two months old on Saturday and today we went for her 2 month well check and shots. Can't believe it's already time for those dreaded shots!!

Not a clue what's about to happen...

Big sister pep talk! (Josh of course took Macy out of the room before shots. She would have undoubtedly lost it to see Eden cry like that.)

Sweet girl, you got a great report!! You only cried for a second and stopped as soon as Mommy cuddled you.

Eden, at two months you are:

  • 9 pounds and 4 ounces (12th%)
  • 22 inches long!! (95th%) **They told us this %, but when I got home I checked Macy's. She was actually longer, 22.7 in., which was 70th%. So not sure what % Eden was in but it wasn't 95th!
  • in size 1 diapers (we switched around 7 weeks. Although they are still pretty big, they fit better than newborns)
  • Outgrowing newborn clothes in length but 0-3 still fits a little big
  • can't keep shoes or socks on (tiny, narrow feet!)
  • smiling and cooing
  • sleeping through the night. Such a blessing! Started around 7 weeks but had to have your paci put in some during the night. The last 4-5 nights you have not made a peep until 6:30-7.
  • Still sleeping in Mommy and Daddy's room (Don't want you waking up big sister at 7!)
  • like to sleep with your hands up by your face
  • Seem to be more of a cuddly baby than sister
  • still liking your Mams paci
Miss Eden, you truly are a joy!! We can't get enough of you and we're enjoying the sweet little smiles and giggles you are giving on a regular basis these days. Can't wait to watch that personality develop more and more and see how you interact with sister. She is blessed to have you!!






One of my favorite outfits on Macy



Macy girl, you are 3 short months away from turning 2!?!? Can't believe it.

At 21 months, you are:

  • Probably around 23 pounds
  • Outgrowing your summer clothes (which are mainly 12 month clothes). 18 months is starting to fit better now
  • In size 4 diapers although keeping our diapers on right now is an issue! If that's a sign for potty-training, I'm choosing to ignore it! Not ready yet to tackle that one:-)
  • Still sleeping 8:30-8:30 with a 3 hour afternoon nap
  • Loving the show Super Why! It's your new favorite and you request it all the time. You also like this Winnie the Pooh movie I bought at Mommy and Me. You call it "Pooh Movie" and ask for it as well.
  • Still sleeping with Piglet and will ask me for him when you start to get sleepy
  • Still eating everything in sight!
  • Possibly teething right now because we have had a rough few weeks temperament-wise. I think you are cutting some molars. We've been extremely whiny and irritable!
  • Talking up a storm! You are using sentences now and it blows my mind how quickly you pick up on things. You can hear something said once, remember it and use it correctly in a sentence later on. I love having little conversations with you!
  • Praying the sweetest prayers right now! You thank Jesus for anything in your line of sight and then for every family member's name you can think of (you have a lot!)
  • Counting up to 6 (sometimes you change the order up, but you can do it correctly!)
Macy girl, even on days when you have me pulling my hair out, I could just eat you up! You are a little doll and I'm addicted to making you smile by surprising you with something you enjoy doing or a new little toy or book from the store. You get so excited and I just can't help myself!! I love seeing that sweet little face light up. You are curious and love learning new things. You get bored with old toys and are always trying to find something new to entertain yourself. You love books and singing. You are the greatest big sister and I love how you ask for Eden right as you wake up in the morning. God has given you such a sweet and compassionate heart and I love seeing it when you care for your little sister.

We finally turned you around in the car so you can see out the windows now! You love it!

You saw this Winnie the Pooh fabric at Hobby Lobby one day and I knew I had to make you something with it. I decided on a nightgown...
