Ziva, Her Little Sister and Her Lil' Sister's Stuff

Z is wearing her sisters hat which is now probably too big to fit her.

Ziva, her pig and Mommy's lil piggy (who wants to nurse nonstop!).

Eat, Sleep and Poop

Well, just pictures of sleeping right now.

Eden was so small when she was born and she would ball up like a "rolly poly" that her feet would make their way out of her sleeper (which were big for her to start with).

Fun with Pops and Gran Jan

Ziva likes to play "chubby baby" with people's faces.

First Doctors Visit

Eden had her first doctor visit when she was 4 days old. She checked out wonderfully! She had gained one ounce. She had dropped from 6lbs 11ozs to 6lbs 2ozs. Here she was 6lbs 3ozs. Everything else is awesome.

Dr. Stone and Eden

Why is my child on the floor? She's hiding under the table.

Doing a good job isn't she.

Sisters

It is exciting to have two girls now. I never had a sister so I can't wait to watch Ziva and Eden grow up together. Ziva loves her little sister but still is learning, especially being gentle. Ziva's interest comes and goes. At first she seemed interested in her when Eden is sleeping. It's been two weeks now and Ziva is doing better with her. She wants to hold her a lot and help.

Ziva and Eden's first picture together at home.

I know this picture is blurry but I love it.

Watching and Waiting

Snuggled and Warm

Gentle

Everything went well with the Csection...as well as can be expected. We (Jason, Eden and me) spent three days in the hospital. Ziva spent that time with Pops and Gran Jan. That left us with some time to bond with Eden and spend some time in peace and quiet, before we headed home to the chaos of real life.

Grandparents and the Things They Do

I know that as a grandparent you have many privileges because you have "paid your dues." You get to "spoil" the grandchildren as much as possible. That doesn't mean your actions will not only astound the parent but also leave the parent speechless. Take for example, Pops (Jason's father) eating peanut butter out of the jar, with his finger (we won't even talk about that) and then letting Ziva do the same. Gross! We still love them and appreciate all that they have and will do for us, but we do have to ask..."Really Pops? Really?"

Yummy

Ziva had her first Icee snack (from her father). Not the best serving option for a two year old but gotta roll with the punches right? She really enjoyed it and to my delight it didn't stain her shirt. The only thing that really bothers me about this is that Jason says that she looks just like me in these pictures. What does that mean!?!

"Froggie!"

"Hold it, Daddy."

She did so good.

ATV

Over a year ago, my parents bought Ziva her own little four wheeler. She would have nothing to do with it until a few weeks ago. Now she'll hop on it (even when told no) and ride off. She loves it. These pictures are from her first outing on it.

"Bye"

Sleeping Beauty

I couldn't pass up catching her sleeping so sweetly.

Happy Easter Bunny Card from Aunt Jane

"Aunt" Jane really out did herself with time. She made the neatest card yet. It was a beautiful card with three interactive bunny finger puppets. So cute and creative. I am not sure who was more impressed Jason or Ziva.

Good Job Aunt Jane!

Egg Hunt

These are some mixed-and-matched pictures of Ziva hunting eggs. They are from two different egg hunts, small one at our house and a larger one at a friend's parents house.

Ziva loves to hunt eggs. We are still hiding them for her in the house. She will hunt over and over again. She has even started hiding them for herself and then finding them. The best part about that is that she forgets where she hides them and needs help sometime.
