I don't really know how this is possible, but Eden celebrated her second birthday about a month ago. She had the illustrious honor of sharing her birthday with the inaugural BYU football game of the season. We had some college friends over to watch the game and eat birthday cake. Eden patiently worked at blowing out her two candles and after blowing her bangs off of her forehead several times, finally extinguished those wish makers. She got to celebrate some more with Grandma Sandy and Papa Ray when we met up in St. George over labor day. And she enjoyed packages and phone calls from Nevada.
As quickly as her birthday snuck up on us, she has morphed from a toddling baby into a babbling toddler. She is a busy girl - happy, curious, fearless and feisty as ever. She knows how to throw a pretty decent tantrum. But once the frustration passes, she is quick to dry her tears and she is good about saying sorry. Eden loves (read: is somewhat obsessed) with electronics. It is hard to deny her our phones when they make her so happy. But we set boundaries with the occasional fit-filled consequence.
Eden is using lots of words. She loves to parrot back the things we say to her and has started stringing words together on her own. I love this stage. A sampling of some of our favorite first phrases and words from her:
messy hands! - a phrase exclaimed at every meal, and sometimes following every bite.
bep pips - how she says necklace and/or bracelet. She is on a jewelry kick lately.
please/thank you - She has started saying them without prompting, sweet baby.
Mickey pub house - Mickey Mouse Clubhouse is a favorite show right now. It runs a close second to
Stuffins - Doc. McStuffins. Disney Jr. changed their line up and we don't get to see it as often.
gahko milk - chocolate milk
show you - when we can't understand what she is saying, she will take us to it.
Eden do it - always a treat
here ya go, Mom/Dad/Grace/Grant - repeated endlessly until we look at what is in her hand
oofdah - Thanks Grammy Marla!
and, my favorite from yesterday morning....
Mickey pub house bum pretty! - referring to the Mickey on her diaper.
