Chores

The other day eden purposefully was spilling milk from her cup. Russell told her she needed to clean up the mess, so she went and got the towel off the oven handle and wiped it up! However, she then kept spilling more milk so she could wipe it up! Don't worry, after we got a video we haven't let her do it again!

Eden's First Fort

A couple weeks ago on Saturday morning we were bored and I decided to make a fort for Eden and I to play in for a while. She LOVED it. And then later in the day, she managed to find her iPod (our old one) and both our phones! She is such a technology hog!

Two Months

I just realized I never posted about Britain's two week checkup. Oh well....she's two months now! I can't believe it. It seems like in the past week or two she has gotten so big. Here's her stats:

• 10lbs 5oz - 33rd Percentile
• 22 3/4 inches - 62nd Percentile
• 14 3/4 inch head - 15th Percentile

So once again we have a skinny, tall girl with a tiny head! Haha.

Britain doesn't seem so much like a newborn anymore. She likes to spread her limbs out now instead of curl up. She has started cooing all the time, and smiles a bunch too. She's not a fan of tummy time really, but I make her do it anyway. She has good control of her head, and has started lifting it up a little when she's on her tummy. She has come to not mind the bath, and will probably enjoy it much more in a couple more months. She likes to look at the toys on her play gym, look at the lights in the house, sit up, and lay on Mommy and Daddy's bed. It seems as though she would like a sleep number crib mattress! She is doing better at sleeping at night and has even gone down about 8:30-9pm several nights this last week. Once she's down she'll sleep about 6 hours, eat, and then sleep another 4 hours or so. Not bad! Here's a few more pictures:

And a sneeze:

Angry

Have I mentioned Eden gets angry when Daddy holds Britain? Because she does.

You Know You're the Parent of Two Kids Under 15 Months If...

There's been a stuffed dragon sitting on the floor outside the kids bedrooms for almost two weeks because you are two tired to pick it up.

You have two cribs....

But use a pack and play so they don't wake each other up!

You have a bottle station in your room so you don't have to go downstairs at night.

There's CONSTANTLY a whole basket full of dirty laundry.

And...you find that the smallest one never has any socks on, but they appear mysteriously around the house because her older sister is in love with "gocks!"

14 Months

At 14 months Eden is quite a handful. She is always on the go! She has figured out how to climb up in the rocking chair and loves to sit there. She is very concerned about her dolly and all her animals and makes sure they get wrapped in blankies and eat bottles every day. She has finally learned how to use a straw, and has started saying "yes." She LOVES Elmo, playing duplos, reading stories, and helping daddy give Britain a bath. She is also VERY convinced that Daddy is HERS. When I try to give him a hug or a kiss Eden pushes me away and makes him pick her up! I keep telling her that he was mine first! She spends a lot of the days calling "Ga-Ga" (Grandpa) and gets quite upset when he doesn't answer. You would think out of three Grandpas at least one would pick up the phone! Eden also loves to "help" with the laundry, eat macaroni and cheese, and play the piano. She likes music in general, and gets a great big smile on her face when you sing a song for her.

Wiggle, Wiggle

I forgot to post this video of Britain. It's probably boring to most people, but I'm sure her grandma's and aunts will like it. She's just wiggling on the floor.
