And the fun begins.

So Eden is a crawling monster! She has been able to crawl for a few weeks now, but she pretty much only crawled a little bit. Yesterday she went into full crawling mode and crawled all over the living room. She sees something she thinks is interesting and off she goes. Elliott and I have been trying to get our messy house cleaned up, but now we are putting it into overdrive. She crawled over to the table last night, found a tag and proceeded to try and chew on it. Luckily I caught her before she ate it. So preety much one of us has to sit on the floor with her at all times and watch her. She even crawled at church today. She saw some other babies in the lobby and she wanted to go over to them, so she crawled over. Then she insisted on standing to look at them. The girl loves to stand. She is also turning into a giggling girl. She has this funny old man laugh, where she sounds like a little old man huh, huh. And then she has her giggly I am being tickled giggle. It is a riot. We love that little baby girl.

Eden is moving towards wanting more solids. She loves to eat. I swear I think she eats all day long. She loves those little gerber puffed stars, and so does Elliott. He loves the banana ones and i have to buy double one for him and one for her! I think her favorite thing is bananas. She just loves them. I used to mash them, and now all I do is cut them into small chunks so she can chew on them. But you have to watch out that she doesn't trick you. Sometimes she tries to stuff several chunks in her mouth at once. But at those times she just spits them at you with this silly grin on her face. Sorry no pictures today, the computer is being stupid. I'll try again tomorrow.

We'll see how well I do at this

I got the idea from Janea to start a blog about our family. So many of you live far away from us and it would be nice to let you know what is going on with us. Eden is a little sweetie pie. She has been pulling herself up on everything lately. Even though she only learned to crawl a few weeks ago, she seems to have tired of it already. She will pull herself up on just about everything. She has even started in the last few days to walk while holding your fingers. Our little girl is one active woman. It is go from the moment she gets up to the moment we fall asleep. She is getting big so fast and starting to move on from being mamma's little baby. She seems less interested in nursing now, in fact she seems to only want solids now. Of course when she gets upset or it's bedtime she still wants to nurse, but for regular meals it has to be solids. She is tiring of the baby foods too. She wants to eat what we are eating. We already give her little pieces of chicken and turkey off our plates. And we give her veggies too. That baby girl has yet to meet a food she doesn't like except for baby cereal. But I don't really count that cause it tastes like paste so I don't blame her.

Today was exciting at work. There was a bomb threat at the courthouse which is in our complex, so the entire government center went on lock down. It sounds way more serious than it was. Apparently they blocked the two main exits and wouldn't allow anyone in or out, but forgot to block the other two entrances. Then they finally figured that out, and decided that no one could leave. Overall the incident was not handled very well. But at least there wasn't an actual bomb. And at leas tit gave us all something to talk about today. Well, that's it for now. Here are some new pictures of Eden!
