I find Eden hilarious. I don't know if it's because she's two and is blunt or if it's because she's just so darn cute that anything she says I think is adorable. Anyway, she's funny.
A couple of days ago she was in her crib and kept calling me because something was "on her eye". I went to her, and she says "Mommy, something is on my eye". I looked and didn't see anything and told her just that. She then took my pointer finger and rubbed her eyebrow with my finger. "See" she said. I had a good chuckle. Eden definitely knows what eyebrows are, but I don't think she ever felt them on her own. We then took a few minutes to talk about eyebrows.
Today, we went to Aldi's (remember the cash budget I'm on...gotta get the most bang for my buck). Eden was sitting in the cart, being so good and sweet and starts looking around and wrinkling her nose. As an Aldi worker was walking right past her she said, "this store is kinda different". I had a good laugh as did the worker. This coming from a little girl who asks to go to Brennan's all the time.

and being a little ham
this is Micah exploring

My mind
Eden is going to be a flowergirl in my best friend's wedding in June

Eden keeps telling me she's getting married. Want the details? She says she's getting married to Joseph, and the wedding is in Bethlehem, in a manger

Micah doesn't like to sleep at night. Or ever.

I will never order anything from totsy.com. They stink

I have gotten zero accomplished today

It's snowing and it's almost April

Next week we get to see my sister and her family!

The condo is a disaster

I really dislike cooking lately

We switched to a cash system for our budget and it's good, but it's sooo hard for me

Micah's playing with the phone right now

I watched Eden's little friend streak through a gymnasium yesterday. Every time I think of it, I laugh

Wishing I had a nanny, but only for cooking

We made pinwheels and noodle necklaces yesterday
First foods
Micah had his first food on March 14th while we were in Florida. At night, it just seemed like he was wanting to eat and eat or should I say nurse and nurse. Being that he is over six months, Mike convinced me that the time was right. Micah loved it, he had sweet potatoes as his first food. We didn't feed him anything yesterday because of traveling so much, but he ate again tonight. A jar and a half! for dinner. I was pretty shocked, and still am considering Eden never ate a whole jar of baby food in her life. Here's to hoping his little tummy stays full so I can get caught up on some sleep tonight.
Family vacation
We arrived in Florida on the 10th and had a couple of setbacks, minor of course, but setbacks none the less. It started with a lost bag at the airport which resulted in lost keys to the place we were staying. Then we went through a toll without paying, but we made it. We made it to Florida, and we made it to Sanibel Island, and I think Eden's face here tells all. We all felt this way.
I love how beautiful Eden looks here. The gulf, my daughter, love it.
But Eden didn't last very long alone, she was off to tell some strangers that she had her toenails painted.
This was the first of many "birthday cakes"

Aren't they darling?
Our little beach setup
This little guy turned 6 months while we were there.
I wish I could caption this one, "What's wrong with this picture?"
Downtown Orlando
And what's Florida without going to Gatorland?
This was at Sebastian Inlet Rec. Area. It was so beautiful, and we saw so many dolphins jumping here.
Can you see the dolphin fin?
Micah ate his first food on March 14th, just guessing, but I think he liked it.
Cocoa Beach. Mike and I kinda thought this seemed like the Wisconsin Dells of Florida.
Being prepared
We got back yesterday from Florida, and had such an awesome time. Eden always likes to be prepared for things. She packed and unpacked her bag many times, and would practice pulling it behind her.
Daddy gave pretend airplane rides for the last week and a half leading up to Florida.
And I think it all paid off. Eden and Micah did awesome on the plane, although Eden did admit she "doesn't like airplane rides and would rather ride in a helicopter".
And from the looks of it, I'd say she did pretty well pulling her own weight in baggage.
