I say this every time. Nearly every parent says this every time. But children grow up so fast. Sure, the time between naps, the sick weeks, and the late night feedings and comfort sessions seem endless but they grow up so incredibly fast. As they grow, your heart and love for them, at least in our experience, grows with them. Of course you love deeply at first sight and you think how could you love someone so deeply you just met? But as your bond and days become more intertwined, that love just keeps getting deeper and wider. I honestly believe God gives us the gift children in part to taste more fully His love for us. My meager understanding of self-giving love has been nourished in the sweetest and most challenging way through Eden. He also gifts us spouses to walk through life together. I don't cherish these two like I should but I am learning to do so with gratitude. Thanks be to God.
And here we are, about to pass Go! Eden has finished up her tenth month with sicknesses, travel, and a deep love for grass and dirt. Our little smiley girl still hasn't produced any teeth but she eats well regardless. But she does loves to throw her food on the floor. She plays hard and is extremely pleasant. We love that she makes a quick crawling bee line for the garden. Soon she will be putting those little fingers to work pulling weeds :) She babbles almost non-stop and loves to point and wave at all the things without discrimination.

We don't understand anything about baseball but it was fun! |
