How to Navigate this Blog

Sorry folks, but there doesn't seem to be an order in which we can post things other than chronological. So please drop-down all the headings for each month in the Blog Archive below in order to find those items of interest to you. We've tried to label them clearly.

Or you can just scroll down the whole page to see all posts.

First food part 2

The video John posted the other day of Eden's first encounter with banana is hilarious... if you can see it. Unfortunately it seems like blogger doesn't post it in as high a res as it looks on John's computer. So here are some stills to give you the idea. I'll let the sequence speak for itself.

First Food

Eden has been trying to take our food for a while so now that she's six months old we decided to start her out with mashed up bananas. Courtney even dressed her in her banana hat and used the suit as a cape. Luckily, I captured this milestone on video.

6 months!


So six months ago today, Eden was born. She celebrated today by throwing her hands in the air like she just didn't care and embracing her conflicted relationship with her blocks. We're excited and plan to introduce food soon, expect video of that soon.

take care,
John

Easter

Easter: 2011

So we'll try video for the first time- we had a fun Easter where Eden tried on a number of dresses. Two were Courtney's when she was a baby and one was a gift from Grandma and Grandpa Garnevicus (or G&GG as they like to be abbreviated). The one video tries to capture Eden giggling (somewhat successful but not as good as the minute before we started taping), and the other is her father's cruel trick of putting flowers just out of reach. You can hear Grandma Lenni in the background; we've had her helping out for the last week so Eden's been having a lot of fun. Eden went to her first zoo yesterday- she doesn't get animals yet, but she loves seeing all the people around. She also loves the fences that surround the animals. Pretty much all parts of the zoo except the animals, really.

take care,
John

Monday, April 18th


So this is Eden as of today- I considered putting up older photos in whatever order I wanted, but then it might seem like she was rapidly growing and shrinking.



Hi Everybody,

As Courtney says on the main page, we've decided to take our wedding website and make it a baby website. As you might be able to tell from the pile of beverages behind and to the right of Eden's head in the first picture, we all went to Costco today. She enjoys going out right now- everyone smiles at her and tells her how beautiful she is. So pretty much the same reasons I like to go out. She's also pretty happy sitting up these days, even as her parents grow more experimental in what kind of seats they're willing to use. Her Lenni is arriving tomorrow so she'll have a nice surprise when she gets picked up from daycare. In any case, I will try to keep this blog heavy on pictures and videos and light on text, but this seems like as good a way as any to get advice on parenting from weirdos on the internet.

take care,
John
