I think this classic Tom Petty song may be Eden's life motto at the moment.
Well except for the parts of the song referring to being a joker, a smoker, and a midnight toker, obviously those don't apply.
We might not always know what she is feeling, but on this, her eight week old birthday, I do know exactly how we feel about her. She has brought so much joy, contentment, and delight to our days. She is a perfect fit into our family. She is precious.

Dan's sweet grandmother, who is the mother of seven, has said, "When it comes to loving your children, you love them equally, but you love them differently." I am beginning to understand what she means. Eden has added something so new and wonderful to lives. Here are a few of the things you are up to these days-when you aren't singing classic rock tunes in your head.
*You smile all the time. If you are awake, full, and being talked to, you will smile. You have a cute little dimple, but only on the left side of your face. Daddy loves to make you smile.
*I'm going to guess you will be a talker. You love to carry on a conversation with us. Beaux better watch out, because she is our resident Chatty Cathy. From the moment she wakes up until you are closing the door to her bedroom at night she always has,"Just one more thing to tell you." But I believe you might give her a run for her money.
*You love to take a bath. You kick the entire time you are in the tub. Between you splashing water out of the baby tub, and your brother and sister splashing water out of the regular tub, let's just say the carpet is a little squishy at the end of the night.

*On your eight week birthday, you are 12 lbs 3 oz, 90th percentile for weight and 24 and 7/8 inches long. Off the chart for length- you are one long girl. The Lord knew you needed to big and healthy to survive your brother and sister.
*You sleep- well sometimes. I was just bragging to Sarah the other day about how well you were sleeping at night. That very night you decided to teach me a lesson about bragging and woke up every two hours. Most nights we put you to bed around 11:00. You sleep until about 3:30, wake up around 6:30, and then sleep until around 9:00 before you are ready to start your day. I would write that you always go right back to sleep after being fed and never give me any trouble, but I learned that little lesson you taught on bragging, so I'm not going to say it!
*You are very flexible -you just go with the flow. You love to be carried in the front back and usually fall into a deep coma the second I put you in it. When we are out and about, I carry you in the pouch, push Beaux in the cart, and try to keep Eli in my vision. I think I always look like I have my act together (just a hint of sarcasm), but often have strangers comment to me, "You look like you have your hands full." What do you think they mean by that?
*You know you look good in a bow.
You look really good in a bow- the bigger the bow,
the cuter you are.
You've only been here eight weeks, but I don't remember what life was like without you.
And I wouldn't want to.
