ELI EDWARD EDINGER

OUR BIG BOY IS HERE!!

9 LBS 7 OZ 21 3/4 INCHES LONG

Kisses for Eli

Margaret loves to give her little brother hugs & kisses(well..at least mommy's belly). Eli likes to kick the fire out of Margaret(when she's laying on Shana's belly..Eli starts kickin'!!). It sure will be interesting when he's on the outside. That won't be a long wait either!!!! The doctor said he could come any day, but if he doesn't come before....she'll enduce on June 30th. His due date is actually July 8th, but...like Margaret...he's big. A month before his due date...he was measuring at 6 lbs 7 oz(that's a normal size birth weight for a lot of people) That was pretty much on track with Margaret(she was 6 lbs 11 oz at that point...and was 8lbs 6 oz at birth two weeks early).

Beautiful Girl

Our dear friend Terra took some amazing pictures of Margie(even though she is a wiggle worm and did not really want her pictures taken). If you are in the Nashville Metro area, you should give Terra a call for your photography needs!

Part Kitty

I have a feeling Margaret is part kitty. She loves being in baskets & boxes!! She'll dump all her toys out so she can climb into the basket!! Sometimes she'll dance in the basket. Sometimes she just sits in the basket. Other times she likes to look at her books in the basket. If she ever takes a nap in it...then I know for sure she's part kitty!!

Playing at Dragon Park

We are really enjoying time at the parks in the Nashville area. Dragon Park(don't think it is the real name of the park...it's near Vandy & 21st) is an amazing place! As you can tell....Margaret LOVED IT!

Margaret's BFF

It amazes me how a child's personality comes out so early! Margaret use to yell across the parking lot at strangers & get upset when they wouldn't talk back to her. She loves to snuggle, hug, talk, and be with people. That's right...she is a people person(wonder where she gets that?). It should be no surprise that she already has a best friend. Sophia is about 4 months younger than Margaret, and is the daughter of our close friends from church. Margaret loves Sophia. She greets her with a hug and gives her a kiss goodbye. Now..as with all 2 yr olds..they have their issues(sharing is not always easy for them), but it is such a beautiful thing to see a pure friendship like theirs. We look forward to seeing their friendship grow over the years!

The other day Margaret fell asleep on the way home from Target. Shana noticed Margaret look like she was sleeping, but she was smiling and laughing. At first she thought she was trying to play a trick, but realized she really was sleeping. All of the suddent Margaret burst out laughing and yells Cia(what she calls Sophia). I don't know what they were doing in her dream, but I'm glad they were having fun!

EGG HUNT 2011

Today was the Egg Hunt at our church. What a great event! Margaret had so much fun with all of her friends. How blessed are we to be at a place that loves children so much!
