Date with Milan

Yesterday, Dave and Eden stayed home for naptime, while Milan and I got to go on a special date. I asked Milan where she wanted to go and she picked the park....it wasn't freezing so we spent an hour at the park playing and talking. We stopped by Cold Stone on the way home where Milan chose pink ice cream with sprinkles. I loved spending time with my little girl and we'll definitely have another date soon!

Cherishing

I really should keep a journal, but I don't so I'm trying to be better at blogging so I can remember all the little stages later on. Here's some little tidbits and pics of my cute girls.
Milan loves to play in Eden's Bumbo....she likes to sit in it, drag it around the house, and put her babies/animals in it too. She is growing up so fast and playing by herself a lot more. She is also a great helper with Eden....she likes to talk to her and says, "hers sooooo cooooote" to me all the time. She helps me put lotion on Eden and even dumped the water out of her little tub and put it away for me today. She is talking a ton and she likes to talk in opposites....."ice cream is yummy, it's not yucky." She loves to learn new words and we're working colors, shapes, numbers, and letters.


Little Eden is just cute, smiley, chunky, and gassy! She is pretty much on a routine (it's the EASY routine from the Baby Whisperer if you read that.) but there's some hiccups because your supposed to stay home every day for it to work....well, Milan and I like to go to play group, lunches, play dates, story time, and the store.....Eden's a trooper and does pretty well with everything.


Play time on the floor.

2:30 AM

2:30 this morning, Milan should have been sleeping peacefully in her bed. Instead, she woke up, put on her princess dress from the dress-up box, drug out all of her toys and played for hours. She took a short nap at 11:30 then carried on for the rest of the day. Man, I am tired and hope that it was a one-time thing.

Little Miss Smiley!

Look at these cute little smiles! I wish I could freeze time because both of my girls are at such a fun stage. Also check out Eden's little red frizzies.....looks like she's going to have curlier hair than Milan, but hopefully the same color red.





It looks like she might be a little small for the Bumbo but I thought we'd try it out ;)

2 Months

Eden turned two months the day before yesterday and we celebrated with a doctor's visit. She was 55% for head circumfrence, 56% for weight, and 76% for height. She's getting so big and we absolutely love her chubby cheeks and neck rolls! She has been a great baby....she is content most of the day and she falls to sleep on her own in her crib. She sleeps in four hour streches at night (once she even slept for 6 hours....that was a wonderful night :) and naps on and off during the day. She is super smiley when we go get her in the crib....she is seriously so cute! We all love her so much!

A visit from Grandma and Grandpa Scott

Grandma and grandpa Scott just visited us for a whole week and we were all very spoiled. Milan was showered with attention, constantly tickled, and pretty much got whatever she wanted all week. Eden was held all day (the next couple of days will be spent teaching her how to sleep in her bed again, but hey that's ok!) Dave got to go exploring and 4-wheeling with his dad. I got to sleep in, take naps, go grocery shopping by myself, go on dates with my hubby, lunch with friends, and Bill even helped me paint my basement stairs and new guest room in the basement (which would have taken me forever without his help!) We all really enjoyed the visit and appreciate all the help!

Happy Halloween

We had a blast with all the Halloween Festivities this weekend. Last night, we went to a fun costume party. Dave didn't know his work schedule until the last minute so I threw our costumes together a couple hours before the party. Dave was Mr. Clean....he really embraced his costume and actually shaved his head. We had a great time dressing up and visiting with friends!

Me and Morgan (Joe Dirt's girlfiend or something....I need to see the movie.)


This afternoon, Dave and Eden napped while I took Milan to a Halloween Carnival. Milan was so excited to wear her costume after waching us get dressed last night.

Then we all went to a Trunk or Treat....Milan loved it and told us that she likes the Halloween game!

Milan and Lizzie were quite a team for Trick or Treating.

Dave has to work tonight to Joel was SO NICE to watch Eden while Katie and I took the girls trick or treating. They had a fun time, but didn't last too long before they were pooped. Milan might have gotten extra tired packing around all her extra layers......
