Eden. One Year Big.
I really can’t believe it. Time really needs to slow down. Babies really just need to stay little forever. Can I make that one request? Pretty please.
Well, since my request was not granted…
Here’s Eden celebrating her big ONE YEAR birthday.
Happy Birthday to you! We had our own little party in the park and Eden loved being the center of attention. Or did she just love all of the sugar?
She couldn’t get enough of this cake. Little sweet thang.
Nom Nom.
She’s so very loved.
Eden I can’t believe you are already so big. So big. And soooo happy. I adore you and have since the moment I watched you take your first breath. (Click HERE to see this.) You are so precious and I can only imagine all of the joy you bring to everyone around you. Happy Birthday, sweet baby girl. Xoxo.. Crystal Jo
What is your favorite memory with Eden in her first year of life?
Daddy: When Eden was 6 months old she was just starting to develop her sense of humor. There was an accidental spit up that covered both of them, and they both laughed about it together. James remembers it as the beginning of their silly fun together.
Mommy: It was not always easy to get up to nurse in the middle of the night, but the quiet moments Eden and Mommy shared together in the dark, rocking in her nursery, are some of Tiffany’s most treasured memories.
Not long before Eden was born we did some research and decided to give cloth diapering a try, but worried it might be to much of a challenge. Turns out it’s much easier than we thought and encourage new parents to give it a whirl!
Do you have a funny story or something that happened in her first year that you’d like to share?
Many nights before bath time, we would take Eden’s diaper off and let her bum air out while she played in her room. We always tried to limit the time to just a few minutes so that hopefully there wouldn’t be an accident on the floor. One evening not long after she learned to pull herself to standing she actually pooped on the floor while laughing at her daddy!
What age/month has been your favorite and why?
Each month has been more fun than the last. Watching her own little personality develop has been amazing. Although we do often miss those newborn snuggles as she gets more and more independent.
One word to describe Eden is…
Silly
Eden’s Favorites..
Animal: her dogs
Food: everything (seriously, this girl loves food)
Toy: flipping through books after pulling every one of them off the shelf
