Ten Months

I can't believe that Eden is already 10 months old. I feel like I just wrote about her being 9 months. We went on a walk at Vivian Park in Provo Canyon to take some 10 month pictures. They turned out okay, but Eden was not cooperating in the smiling department, which is surprising because usually when I take out the camera she strikes a pose these days.

At ten months Eden is crawling like nobody's business and cruising along furniture standing up. She walks around with Mommy and Daddy holding only one finger now and would love to walk on her own I'm sure. She loves to climb the stairs, play with Daddy's iPhone, and give all the stuffed animals hugs. She loves most any type of food and wants to eat anything anyone has. She likes to be outside, which is going to be sad when it starts snowing here. She has decided that she likes to drink her bottle sitting up. She hates shoes and socks and spends all her time trying to get them off when I put them on. She will give hi-5's. And...she is still VERY attached to her Daddy.

Behemoth Double Stroller

We bought our double stroller the other day, and when I was stuck at home with no car a few days later I put it together. It's huge! It will be nice though. It has racing stripes so now I just need to figure out when the stroller races are so I can enter!

Eden helped me put it together. She has no clothes on because all her cool weather clothes were in the washer.

Yeah! It's don't lets go for a ride. Eden LOVES to go for rides in the stroller, as long as she's not tired.

Enough pictures Mom, let's go for a ride!

I took her for a ride around the living room because I felt kind of silly taking her outside in a double stroller without another kid in the back. A few days later we did go outside though because we needed a walk and Daddy took the little stroller to work with him in the car.

Splashing

Apparently Daddy splashing you is really, really funny. You will have to get a kink in your neck for 22 seconds to watch.

Food Monster

If anyone has food these days, Eden needs to have some. It's pretty funny because she doesn't even know what it is half the time or if she likes it but she still wants it. We went to Einstein Bagels a couple weeks ago for a snack and Eden stole Russell's bagel right out of his hands.

Eden's iPhone

Eden LOVES to play the games Daddy has for her on his iPhone. I'm pretty sure she thinks the phone is hers and lets Daddy borrow it. It's pretty funny because while she plays the games she just keeps turning the phone and turning the phone.

Denver - Random Pictures

Here's some random pictures of the rest of our time in Denver. We had a great time there, but were glad to come home to Daddy.

Eden helping Grandma and Aunt Issy made Navajo Fry Bread. We had it twice and it was delicious! I just might have to drive the 2.5 hours up to Aunt Issy's to get more.

Eden loved Uncle Larry's fish. Especially the "guard fish."

Eden and Grandma.

Eden was drinking her bottle with grandma and feel asleep just like this.

Playing with Aunt Cooper.

Eden kept crawling into the bathroom and pulling herself up on either the door frame or tub and then yelling "Dadadadadada". For some reason Daddy never came to give her a bath.

That about wraps up our time in Denver, except for maybe some misdemeanors that were committed, but there are no pictures and thus no evidence.

Denver - Aunt Sharon and Uncle Johnny

One day we drove down to Parker, CO to my great aunt and uncles house to pick up the family bible they were giving to my Dad. We had a great lunch of hamburgers and hot dogs and enjoyed talking with them for a while. They had a cat, which Eden thought was pretty cool but very quickly the cat found a place to hide where Eden couldn't find him.

Eden loved watching Cymbre on the grass from the porch.

Denver - Playing at the Park

A couple different days we stopped and found a park for Eden to play at for a little bit. She's not quite big enough to play on her own, but Aunt Cooper and Cymbre loved to play with her. All I have to say is it's much harder to find a park there than it was in Ladera Ranch.

Yay! We went down the slide!

There was a cool sea monster at the park that Cooper and Eden rode.

Swinging with Mommy.

There was this cool slidey thing that Cymbre was too short to do!

Getting ready to go down the twirly slide.

Rock climbing for Aunt Rachel!

Queen of the Mountain!

On the crazy bridge with Aunt Cymbre.

The Bucking Bed

Eden and I slept on my Uncle's bed when he was working nights, and one morning Eden took a dive off the side of the bed and scratched her head on the bookcase. I felt like an awful mom. Luckily, she was more scared than hurt. She had a nice big scrape for a week or so, but everything is better now.

Denver - Swetsville Zoo

The next day we went up to the Swetsville Zoo with Grandpa Flanagan. It's this awesome place where there are all sorts of animals made out of different junk metal parts. They even had new things from when we went several years ago. Eden thought all the animals were really neat.

Eden loving being outside and looking at all the cool animals.

A dinosaur guy.

A cool dinosaur for Daddy.

This little robot guy steers the dinosaur car.

Some sweet little guys.

A robot for Daddy!

Denver - Aquarium

One day we decided to go to the Aquarium in Denver. Eden loved to see all the fish, and it was a pretty good aquarium. They even had mermaids swimming in with the fish! You could also pay to scuba dive with the sharks....but I didn't think that was a good idea being pregnant and all.

Looking at the fishies with Aunt Cymbre.

This is the coolest fish I've ever seen...but there wasn't a sign that said what he was called. Anyone know?

See that one Aunt Cooper?

The biggest blowfish I've ever seen!

Denver - Aunt Sissy

Aunt Britni came into town for just a couple days and Eden had fun with her too! It was too bad she had to go back to Oklahoma to work.

Aunt Sissy gave Eden a bath. (Side note: The one place I hate my camera is in the bathroom....it's always got an orange color and I don't know why.)

Playing with Aunt Sissy outside while we waited for it to be time to take her back to the airport.

Denver Part 3

On my Mom's birthday we headed down to Longmont to have dinner with my Dad's family. After a much longer drive thanks to a typhoon that was coming through, we made it to Chili's for a delicious dinner and then went back to Grandpa Flanagan's for angel food cake and strawberries!

After dinner we played at Great Grandpa's house and Eden thought climbing over Uncle Gary mountain was fun.

Great Grandpa Flanagan got out the toy cars we used to play with as kids for Eden to try.

A four generation picture, with Uncle Gary standing in for my Dad since he wasn't there.

Great Grandpa's hat was so fun!

Denver Temple

One day we took a trip out to see the Denver temple and go to Deseret Book right by it. I got some good pictures of Eden that I posted earlier as her 9 month shoot, but here's a few more.

Eden with Grandma and Aunt Cooper, Aunt Cymbre, and Aunt Britni at the temple. Don't ask me why Cooper's face is wierd....I think the sun was in her eyes.

And Eden thought the fountain was the coolest bath ever!

Missing Daddy in Denver

Eden is very attached to Daddy and gets quite upset when he doesn't come home when he is supposed to. Being in Denver for a week and a half without him was difficult for both of us. We would talk to him on the phone everyday, but that's just not the same as playing with him. Great Grandma had our family picture up and Eden saw it and would hold it right up close to her face and in her little high-pitched voice say "Dadadadada."
