Bossy

Ok, so maybe my family is right... I'm bossy. I'll admit it! My family always teases me about being bossy, so I should have known my daughter would take on the exact same trait. What I wasn't ready for, was that she would be so bossy this young! She is a demanding little booger and she always gets what she wants.

Today has just been one of those days. And it's only noon, yay! I contribute Eden's fussiness today to her lack of poop for the past 2 days. Today is day 3 with no poop and I can tell she's uncomfortable. From 6:30-8:30 this morning she was squirming in her sleep like crazy. On a normal day, she takes her morning nap about an hour after she has woken up for the day... so usually somewhere around 9:30-10. Today she started getting fussy about an hour after she had woken up so I figured she was sleepy. So, I start to rock her and sing to her but she just got fussier. It's possible that she hates my singing voice, but I really think it's her being constipated. My poor little sugarface. She just cried and cried and cried. This was the first time she was crying and I couldn't do anything about it. I felt so bad. Finally, I strapped her in the stroller and we took a walk. It didn't take her more than 5 minutes to fall fast asleep. She loves being outside and taking walks. I'm sad that it's so hot outside, I wish it would stay cooler for just a little bit longer so we could take more walks!

Other than going on walks, Eden's favorite thing to do is be on the run. She loves going places, running errands with me and seeing people. She gets her social butterfly-ness from her Daddy... definitely not from me! She always gets stir-crazy if we stay at home all day. She just won't tolerate it! Bossy I tell you...

I finally did it!

I've been getting so sick of my long hair lately. It was nice while I was pregnant because I could pull it back when I was lazy (which was everyday), but I was ready for something new! So, I consulted my trusty hairstylist, Tairi, and she worked those magical fingers... but not in a creepy, weird way. She's been doing my hair since I was 14 and every time she cuts it, I usually get mad at her, cry, then not talk to her for a couple of days. She always cuts it exactly how I tell her to, but for some reason I always hate her for doing it. This time she didn't cut it in front of a mirror so I couldn't freak out on her while she was doing it. I think she was surprised when I actually loved it when she was done. I didn't even get mad at her! Now I need to think of something cute to do with the color. Thanks, Tai!

This picture was just taken a couple of days ago. My hair was so plain and blah.


And here is the new do.

Here are some pictures from the past week. Eden had her 2 month check up and weighed in at 11 pounds 3 ounces and 22.5 inches long.

Eden's new trick

We are sad to report that our little peanut is not very little anymore! Her new favorite thing is to stand up while we hold on to her little hands. She usually coos and makes cute little sounds while she does it, but as soon as we start to record her, she just stops! That little stinker.



Here's another video of her... just turn your head a little to the left!


And last but not least, I thought this picture was kind of funny. She goes from being such a happy little girl to suddenly STARVING in a matter of seconds.

The reason I feel safe at night...

HA!

Fun Day

The weather has been so nice lately and Eden loves to be outside. Today, she was being a bit of a grump so we took a walk to Walgreens to return a RedBox DVD. Of course she was a perfect little angel the entire time... until we stepped back through our front door. She is such a good girl when we are busy all day and running around and visiting family, but she gets bored when we stay at home all day. Once Craig got home, we went and played outside while he worked on his car. She was really sleepy but we had fun. :o)


And just for some comparison of how big she's gotten lately.

Here she is at about 10 days old...


And here she is today at 5 weeks... (she totally has Craig's big ol' ears!)
