Eden

Her fingers are almost always in her mouth. No teeth yet. Though I am a veteran diaper changer, it takes me some extra time to get this girl clean due to all her rolls. Her eyes are still deep sky blue. The hair that is slowly coming in is very blonde.
Eden started rolling over shortly after Christmas. At first, we were all pretty excited about it. (How do you like her sweet baby mullet?)
But, it has taken her and me a few weeks to get used to it. She is very good at rolling but not very good at being happy or sleeping on her tummy. A lot of the problem stems from her reluctance to turn her head. When I get her from her bed, her nose and chin are often red because she just sticks her head straight down into the mattress. It worried me. A LOT. But she has it figured out now. Kinda. We are both sleeping through the night again which helps me feel we are back on track. She is easy going about keeping a flexible daytime schedule which is necessary and so helpful.

Stripped down for the doctor... At her 4 month checkup, she was in the 90th percentile for height and the 75th for weight. Happy chunky girl. She reaches for and grabs toys. She babbles and blows lots of slobbery bubbles. This girl drools so much. She isn't too interested in eating from a spoon, but we do it every night anyway- just cereal and carrots so far.
She has a cute little squeak of a laugh. She is very ticklish. She LOVES diaper changes and anything else that guarantees face time. She won't take a binki but goes to sleep well on her own (except in church). She gets pretty fussy around dinner time. She loves her brother and sister.

Love the mullet.

Thought the last line said "she still won't take a BIKINI" and I had to re-read it to make sure.

She and her sister are TWINS!!

Oh, Eden has grown so much! In some of those photos, I think she looks a lot like Kourtni, when she was a baby. What a cute little girl . . . wish I could give her a squeeze!
