Eydie had a full weekend with a Sip and See Saturday and a baby blessing Sunday morning. She was "on display" for people to see and I just hoped she would be well behaved for it all. She did well, but being cute that long is hard work, as you can see in this picture taken after the Sip and See. Some of my mother-in-law's friends hosted it as a way for people to come see Eydie and have coffee and refreshments. It was very sweet of them.

Too tired to pose for the camera (but still pretty cute)!
Here we are with Connie and Colleen who hosted it. As you can see, Eydie was fed up with the picture taking. Look at how she pulled her headband over her face. "Take all the pictures you want, guys, but I'm done."
My niece Ava was a big help opening presents.
And Eydie fell asleep on KK's shoulder.

I promise I didn't teach her jazz hands. She did it on her own.

This is at church Sunday morning before her blessing.

She was a little feisty and squirmy, but she didn't cry which was a relief.

She fell asleep on Papa Dale at church and then melted down into a little ball.
It cracks me up that she can sleep like this.
Brandon likes to sing songs and have her dance to them.
It usually gets her to stop crying .
I finally figured out the sling and wanted to take a picture of how it worked,
but it took a little while. First, not sure about it...

Calming down...

Out.
Saturday morning Brandon got Eydie dressed and ready while I showered. Then I nursed her and she had an explosive diaper on her outfit. So we changed her and I got dressed, then put her up on my shoulder to burp her and she spat up all down the back of my dress. By the time we got to the Sip and See we were both on our second outfits. It was a good warning because this weekend we'll be going to my cousin's wedding and now I know to take at least 2 outfits for each of us for every event of the weekend.

Carly and Ben, we love you both and are excited to celebrate with you as you get married!

Chris and Jenny (another cousin and his wife) are having a baby today! She is in labor as I write. We are praying for you guys and can't wait to meet sweet baby Jude and for him and Eydie to grow up playing together like we did! Congratulations!

Great pictures and captions! I love the one of her sleeping in Dale's arms and the one of her sitting on Brandon. She looks so wide eyed in that picture.

She is growing so fast! And you look great! I love that you have this incredible online scrapbook of this precious babe and her wonderful family and that you take the time to share these special moments! What a blessing and inspiration you are! I can't wait to meet Miss Eydie in person!

I could never make it out of the house without throw-up on me or the boys. I always had a hoodie to throw over what I was wearing. They ALWAYS would poop right on the way out, too. This is why I was always late to all those lunches last summer. ha!

She is the cutest thing... I love her expressions and that wild hair. You can tell she's going to have a feisty spirit. You look great! Hope you're getting some sleep. :)

She is so adorable. I love her and wish we could be at the wedding with everyone this weekend. Can't wait for Jude and Eydie to meet.
