18 months

It seems like a blink on an eye, the last 6 months flew right on by. We traveled to Germany, Austria and France. We created a yard for Eden, and we got more chickens. We decided we would welcome another pregnancy when the time is right for my body. We rearranged our way of handling finances and have made new friends. But best of all we have watched Eden grow. 18 months old today and she has pushed that 4th molar right on through. Eden understands that when I count to 3, 2 comes after 1 and that if she says two she can have not one but two dolls as she often requests. She has been swimming in pools, playing at parks and climbing everything imaginable. She talks in sentences such as the following, "I need it, I need that doll, oh no, go, go!" We have lost count of the words she can say. And I swear she got up from nap and grew, she was taller than when I had put her down. She loves music and dancing and I showed her, her first movie Happy Feet which she liked a lot. She loves to dig in my hope chest where she found many of my girlhood treasures that she now treasures like the magic attic dolls, a Madeline doll, princess crowns and a jewelry box with a dancing ballerina! Eden is a dream come true and her laughter is like food for my soul. Never forget how much I love you baby girl! Now off to make you some homemade popsicles <3
