Compare and Contrast

I haven't been keeping up with "compare and contrast" posts as I would like to.  Maybe I will catch up someday, but for now, I thought these were cute.  A few weeks ago, Eden had some "sloppy joe" for dinner, and she got really messy (of course).  It reminded me of some pictures that I took of Judah eating spaghetti around the same age.











Needless to say, a bath was in order after dinner....in both cases. :)

Creeping Along

Eden is not crawling in the traditional sense, but the girl sure can get around.  She does this one-legged creep type move, and she can pretty much get anywhere she wants.  Here are some pictures of her getting around.

On her way...
 Once she has her sight set on something...
 there is no stopping her!


 Creeping along
 She has reached her destination. :)
Waving hi

10 Months


Wow...10 months already?  It's hard to believe that we are only two short months away from one year!  Eden continues to bring a smile to our faces...she cracks us up!  Her new thing is shaking her head back and forth as to say "no".  She thinks it is so funny and just laughs while shaking her head back and forth.  She is still not officially crawling, but she manages getting around the room by scooting on her bottom and using her leg to help her move forward.  It's funny to see her get into things, especially Judah's toys.  It's like she knows which toys are his and goes for those...it cracks us up.  She eats anything we put in front of her and a good amount of it (although much of it ends up in her bib or in her high chair).  She continues to be a daddy's girl; she gives him the biggest smiles when he is around.  The months are passing so quickly, so we are enjoying the stage that she is in while we can! 




9 Month Pictures

Here are Eden's 9 month pictures!  We typically have a little bit of a hard time getting her to smile for her professional pictures.  She smiles all the time at home, but for some reason, she doesn't like to cooperate when we get her in the studio.  For her 6 month pictures, I anticipated this and had Eric come with us so he could make her smile (she likes to smile for him), so we did get some good ones with smiles then.  This time, we REALLY had a hard time getting her to smile (should have brought Eric with!).  As a matter of fact, we had to try on two different occassions since we were not having much luck the first time.  Oh, I was acting like a crazy person trying to get her to smile, and she just looked at me like I was, well, crazy.  I guess she just has a more cautious personality (especially in new environments), which is different from her brother who would smile if you just looked at him funny.  Anyway, we did manage to get a few (thank you, Sylver!) despite my little serious girl. 















 This was Eden's photo shoot, but Sylver offered to take a few pics of Judah while we were there, and I am so glad that she did!  Here are a couple of my little man.
