Halloween

We spent Halloween in Phoenix.  Eden had a blast trick-or-treating with her cousins.  She very quickly picked up on the ring the bell, say trick-or-treat, and get candy routine.

Eden turns 2!!

Wow, 2 years old?  What a big girl!  Eden is so unbelievably amazing.  Although the past two years have been life changing and a little rough at times, we have enjoyed it more than we can describe.  She is so smart, sharp, charming, sweet and witty.  Who knew such a person could come from us?  I could go on and on about her, but anybody who knows Eden knows what I'm talking about.  It's a very rare occasion that Eden is unable to describe what she wants or what she is feeling.  She has an amazing vocabulary, a big personality, and is very expressive.  It's crazy to watch her learn all sorts of new things every day.  This age is really fun.  Happy Birthday, Eden!

We went to Arizona during my maternity leave and we were able to celebrate Eden's second birthday there.  We had a great time celebrating with Eden's cousins and rest of the family.  Eden was a little overwhelmed by everything, but loved the attention.  The main event of the day was the Dora pinata that was filled with candy and toys.  Eden was scared of the pinata, but she enjoyed picking up the treats that were inside.  Here are some pictures from the day.

Eden and her boy "friend"

We went to Eden's friend's birthday party. Dylan and Eden have been in school together since they were babies. They are only one week apart in age, so they've transitioned together through classes. They are little buddies. As soon as we arrived at his party, Eden started shouting, "Hi, Dylan! It's me!!" at the top of her lungs. Here they are hugging. So cute!

Colton Snores

Colton is such a dude.  He snores, just like his dad.  Here's proof:

Two Months Old

Two months old! We celebrated by going to the pediatrician for some shots. Here are some stats on Colton:

Height: 24 inches, 90%
Weight: 12 lbs 13 oz, 75%
Head: 15.5 inches, 25%

Below are Eden's stats at two months for comparison:  

Eden
Height: 23.75 inches (75th percentile)
Weight: 13 lbs 14 oz (90th percentile)
Head: 16.5 inches (90th percentile)

Colton is definitely solid...not fat.  Interestingly, his head is an entire inch smaller than Eden's.  As with Eden, I took some video of Colton's shots.  He cried more than Eden did, but he did well.  He was pretty cranky at night after the shots, but that's to be expected.  Poor baby!

Here is a video of Colton's shots:

For comparison, here is a link to Eden's video:

Overall, Colton is a good, easy going baby.  He still gets up 3 times per night, but he goes back to sleep pretty quickly.  He doesn't have much of a schedule yet, but he seems pretty happy as long as he eats regularly.  He is still sleeping in during the mornings which allows me some much needed time to recover from the night.  Colton smiles pretty regularly, though I am still waiting to hear him giggle a bit more.  He definitely likes being out in public -- his best naps happen when I take him out to eat or to happy hour somewhere. 

 

Colton

Colton is a little handsome guy, if I do say so myself. Here are some random pictures of him.
