Eden






Eden likes to eat chocolate and green smoothies. She is by far our best eater, though everything she eats gives her the runs. We have met with a Gastroenterologist and get to meet with an Allergist to see what the problem is. We are thinking perhaps Celiac. We also found out she has Reynaud's Disease, which is why her hands and feet are always purple. The only complication is gangrene. She has kept me busy washing her crib set multiple times a day for the last couple of months. Good thing for her she is ridiculously cute. We are still all completely in love with her. She is turning into such a funny little person. She loves to wear her winter coat everywhere and would not let us take it off during church. She has lots of words...thank you, ball, daddy, mommy, no (said with a scowl), doggy, Charlie, hi, bye-bye, night-night, weeeee, bite, clean up, stinky, all clean, binky, more, here you go, there it is, eyes, nose, ears, and uh-oh. Her favorite toys are cars and balls. When I took her to the doctor on Thursday she was a whopping 19 lbs, which is under the 5th percentile, and 75th percentile for height. She still has flaming red hair and looks like her daddy. We love her lots.



Pikes Peak Regional Competetive Historical Festival


Andrew played in his first piano competition on February 6th. He played Kabalevsky's Sonatina and Scherzo in B flat by Schubert. He received a trophy for Honorable Mention. He is going to play in another competition in Denver in June.
Andrew got to accompany the Primary today in church and is working on learning all the Primary songs so he can play for the program. He is very excited. He prefers playing the piano to singing, though we are considering signing him up for voice lessons due to his perfect pitch.
Andrew and Jeff are taking a guitar class together and Andrew has mastered quite a few chords. Not sure why I got such a musical child but I am hoping to keep him challenged.

Girls




Eden loves putting on these sunglasses. She thinks she is so funny. Anna loves pushing Eden around in the baby stroller and feeding her breakfast. I am grateful that Eden and Anna like to play with each other. They get to spend lots of time together.


Baptism








On December 29 Andrew was baptized in Sandy with all of our family there. It was a great experience. Andrew thinks he will always remember the spider in the baptismal font and that the water was cold. Cindy and Dad gave talks and all the cousins sang a song, which Andrew accompanied.

Happy Birthday

Melanie gave me BYU pajama pants and a BYU shirt for Christmas. You can never have too much of a good thing!

Andrew sang: "Happy Birthday, BYU. Happy Birthday, BYU. Happy Birthday, BYU. Go Cougars!" to the tune of "Happy Birthday".
