Are we ready for this?

For Eden's 1st birthday, great-grandma Smith gave her a cell phone. Of course it is a play princess cell phone, but she loves it. The phones Aaron and I have are not as nice as this one. Her phone is a flip phone and it even simulates taking pictures (accessories that we don't have on ours). She walks around with it and pushes the buttons and takes pretend pictures.

As you can see, she is much more knowledgeable with cell phones than I am...

she can already text message better than me.
What is this world coming to when a one-year-old can text better than her mom?

One o'clock church

We've been at 1 o'clock church for a while now, sometimes it seems as if it will never end. My goal has been to try and keep Eden awake until church starts. My reasoning is that she usually takes a 3 hour nap around 11am, so if I keep her up until 1pm, she should sleep through all of church. Sometimes it works, and other times it doesn't.

This was at about 11:30, I sat her down to eat lunch and keep her awake, she ate a little bit and couldn't take it any more. Sleep over came her and I lost the battle. I tried to revive her by taking away her tray and even cleaning her up (which she HATES the most) but to no avail, sleep was the winner.
