Eden Jocelyn Lelis


Our little Edie turned 2 on St. Patricks day. I just can't believe she's 2! Time has gone too fast. What a delight she has been in our lives. She is so fun to be around. I can't believe how different her and Clara are- they are like night and day, physically, behavior, temperment- everything!


This year we had a tiny birthday party at Chuck E Cheese's- and it ended up being a lot of fun :)
For days (no weeks) before Edie's party Clara would repeatedly ask me if she could help open Edie's birthday presents. I finally said she could open up a couple. She took her job very seriously.






Edie absolutely LOVES her babies. She sings to them- rocks them, feeds them with "ba ba's" and loves to lay them down to sleep. She can't take a nap or go down to bed without her Bitty or a different doll.
Edie adores artichokes, any kind of soup, broccoli, asparagus, apples, banana's- but her aboslute favorite is Green Beans. She's also willing to gag down a few frosted cookies now and then....



One of her favorite activities is to color.
But her favorite is getting attention from her big sister Clara. They are finally starting to play together and I am loving it!
I think her favorite thing in the entire world is to be naked. She practically lives her entire life out nude. As soon as we walk in the door she strips down naked!
She eats nude
Here she is on Bitty's changing table nude (in our pink playroom of course)

And looking for a late night bite to eat with Daddy nude. She is such a sweetheart and cuddle bug. I am so excited to watch her grow up into a little girl. What can I say- were just crazy about our Edie bean!

Dinner?

So I often see on other people's blogs how they have their dinner plan posted for the week. I love reading those because it gives me idea's- and its interesting what other people eat right? I am really not the best at planning out meals. I am trying to get better however so here is this week's meal plan: March 28th- April 3rd:

  • Monday: Taco soup with shredded cheese and homemade tortilla chips


  • Tuesday: Tuna and Tomato melt's with homemade Onion Rings and Sweet peppers (Our girls favorite vegetable)


  • Wednesday: Asian stir fry with fruit smoothies for dessert


  • Thursday: Macaroni and Cheese with cut up broccoli. John will be at a Med school thing so I may as well cater to the girlies...


  • Friday: Chicken salad sandwiches on whole wheat roll's with Ice cream sundae's for dessert


  • Saturday: Pizza with peppers, onions, olives, mushrooms and tomato's. Caesar salad on the side


  • Sunday: Beef Pot Roast with roasted red potatoes, onions, carrots and celery (This has been my favorite meal this pregnancy- I can't get enough red meat....)

And that's it! I also bought some treats to make goodie bag's for the girls with for General Conference. John and I are hoping to hear some of it this year.
