Eden today (3 months old)



I am smitten with this sweet little girl! Eden is growing up. She has started trying to talk to us and loves to coo and smile. She has gone from being pretty fussy to being fairly content. She amazed us by starting to sleep through the night two weeks ago with only a few relapses. I'm still in shock that she is my baby. None of the others have managed to figure out sleeping through the night this early, especially not all on their own. Eden is also getting faster at nursing. Originally, I had to plan an hour for each feeding, but she has only taken about 20 minutes per feeding over the past few weeks. She has reflux, so a lot of the food comes back up, but she doesn't seem to suffer because of it. She still has the characteristic Calder baby cheeks and weighs just under fourteen pounds. She is also very tall like her sister.
Eden is adored at our house. Each of her siblings love to talk to her and get her to smile at them. They even argue over who gets to hold her.
We love you, Eden, and are so glad you belong to us!

I'm so glad that she is sleeping through the night for you. Laila has suddenly decided that she is going to go back to not going down for the night until ten or eleven and then waking up every four hours. And I know I say this all the time, but we really need to get together. For real this time!
