Eden's First Haircut

Technically, I have trimmed her hair at home once, but this is her official first hair cut (a trim, really).  She was such a good little girl.  She actually sat as still as a statue and didn't crack a smile the whole time.  I have never seen her so serious!  We finally got her to smile at the end.  After the haircut, she said, "Mom, I didn't cry."

Soooo serious



She finally cracks a smile



Ta-da!  She even got a cool braid and some clips in her hair. :)

Spunky Monkey

That's what I call her from time to time....Spunky Monkey.  She is such a fun-loving, energetic, and funny personality, my Eden girl.  Just the other day, I told her how I felt so blessed that God gave me a little girl.  I told her that when she was in my tummy, I thought she was going to be a boy until I found out that she was a girl, and I was soooo happy.  I don't think she really understood what I was saying all that much, but that's okay.  The point is, I couldn't imagine life without her, and I love that she is part of our family.  Yes, she wears me out and many nights I am glad when bedtime rolls around (can I get an amen?), but I am eager to see her smiling face the next morning.  I recently asked her if she would live with me forever and she said, "Sure mom, I can do that"....I will gladly remind her of that someday...:)

That face...



She is a thumb sucker but only when blankie is around
