eden turns two.

i figured i better post these before i forget the moment.
blurry, instagram pics for the win.

our eden turned TWO a few weeks ago.
so we drove right past school & surprised the girls with a day at disneyland!
it was the best day ever. no lines. perfect weather.

some favorite things:
minnie mouse is her fave.
she is talking so much in her cute lil edie pie voice.
she is obsessed with me. & i kinda love it. momma's girl all the way.
she loves to read.
& play with her kitchen.
she could eat bananas all day. & apples. & cheese. & ice cream. so picky, this one.
she is pure ham. put her on a stage & she'll dance, sing, whatever you wish.
loves doggies. & kitties. does not take after her mother here. ha.
still takes a bottle for bed. don't tell.
obsessed with her pink blankie & paci. that's gonna be a fun one for sure.
would play with my phone all day if i'd let her.
her sister's are her bffs.
as soon as we pull in the church parking lot, she is crying no, no momma, nooooo. so sad.
her waddle/head tilt walk is the best. she always has a little pep in her step.

dear eden,

you are pure spunky sunshine & i'm so glad you're ours.
i don't want to forget the smell of your blankie.
or the way you always play with my face.
or suck that paci like it's your job.
your little pigtail knots, or your perfect little nose.
the way you ask for a cookie every time we pass the cookie jar.
and how you say hello to everyone you meet,
& "bess you" to anyone who sneezes.
you bring JOY to everyone around you.
i don't want you to grow up. two is definitely my favorite.
we are so crazy blessed to have you eden.

WE LOVE YOU!
