Six Week Stats

Eden had her 6 week check-up today, and she's growing just great! She's a pretty average girl, here's her stats:

• 9 lbs 10 oz - 50th percentile
• 21.3 inches long - 50th percentile
• 37 cm head - 25th percentile

She coos a lot more these days, which is fun. And...she has started only waking up one time each night. Perfect!

Photography Gift Card

Yesterday we got this giftcard in the mail from a local photography studio, specifically to take pictures of Eden! A $250 value! They send out giftcards each month, and the first 16 people to activate them get to use them. I activated ours last night and they called today, so we have an appointment set up on Jan 6! Now I just need to get her some of these to wear for her picture!

Little Ballerina

Here's Eden being a ballerina in her jammies from Aunt Cooper and Aunt Cymbre. She's not very good at any steps yet.

Eden Playing

Here's Eden just playing on my legs this morning.

Eden Swinging Video

Here's a video of Eden trying out her swing. You'll have to turn your head though, I can't figure out if there's a way to rotate the video.

Hospital Video

Here's a video of Eden while she was in the NICU. The lighting is pretty bad, but they had the lights mostly off. She's still cute though!

One Month Photo Shoot

I tried to get some decent pictures of Eden at one month the other day, but she really wasn't cooperating very well! Here's what we got though. The ones with stitch are fun, but the camera focused on stitch instead of Eden! Still figuring out this fancy camera.

A Weekend of Jack!

I was excited for the weekend so that I could see Jack and play with him. I've really missed being able to play with him since we moved down here. He's soooooooo big now and tons of fun! He also had fun playing with Grandpa Flanagan.

Playing with his birthday presents from Grandpa Flanagan. He will be one in just a few days!

Figuring out this Grandpa guy.
Cute, cute, cute!

He got his feet out, but then his arms were stuck!

Playing on Aunt Shyla's patio is so fun.

Jack loves Eden's train. He tests out Eden's toys to make sure they are good.

Gotta love him!

Sooooo Happy!

Jack and his cousin Jett on the grass at church.

Going up the stairs with Grandpa.

And then down the stairs!

Wrestling Aunt Shyla.

Walking right off the couch. I barely caught him in time.

It was super fun to see him. I can't wait to play with our other nieces and nephew over Christmas!

Eden's Blessing

Sunday we blessed little Eden at church. Luckily, Russell gave her the right name. Although, my threats to kill him if he didn't might have helped! It was a wonderful blessing, and she was beautiful in her dress. She slept through the whole blessing though. Oh well. Here's some pictures of the event.

All dressed and ready to go. Grandma Flanagan made her dress and Grandma Leslie made her blanket.

Our little family!

Eden and Daddy.

Russell and his mom.


Close up of Eden.

After her blessing outside the church. Her white dress stands out so much she looks like she's glowing!

The whole group....minus Holly who was taking the picture.

Had to get one with Holly in it. Too bad Caleb wasn't acting like he loved his wife!

All the men who blessed her. Rick, Grandpa Ahlstrom, Daddy, Uncle Caleb, and Grandpa Flanagan. Also in the circle were the Bishop and Second Counselor and the Stake President.

I REALLY, REALLY wanted a good picture of her cute little shoes, but she wouldn't cooperate at all. This is the best I got.

We are so glad to have wonderful little Eden in our lives. It seems like our family is complete now, at least for a little while. We love her so much and as much as I don't want her to grow up I am excited to see how she grows and what she will like to do when she gets older.

Meeting the Family

We had lots of family in town this weekend to meet Eden and bless her at church on Sunday. It was fun to have everyone here, although I didn't see too much of Eden! I'm glad everyone got to love on her though, and I'm sure she can't wait to meet everyone that didn't come. Here's some pictures with all the family.

Grandma Leslie is sooooo comfortable!

A fancy face for Aunt Holly.

A crazy Grandpa Flanagan.

Another Grandpa! Grandpa Ahlstrom.

Rick and Shelley and their new baby girl! haha. Although we aren't really related, we like to think Rick and Shelley are part of the family!

A snuggly Uncle Caleb.

Loving Grandma Ahlstrom. She was sooooo snuggly Eden just had to sleep and sleep on her.

Daddy Bed

Eden likes to sleep on Daddy quite a bit. Once she's asleep he will just lay her on his legs and she's perfectly happy. Then he can work on the computer and they both have what they want. Daddy's are really good beds I guess.
