Trying again to add pictures

Every attempt so far today to add more pictures has failed. I will keep trying though....

Tonight for dinner we found a great restaurant that served some of the food we had been missing. I fed Eden some rice with chopsticks and it was obvious this was not a new thing for her. She loved the rice and the chopsticks approaching her face was not a surprise to her, unlike the spoon I had been using with the rice cereal. Once we get home I hope to be able to load our video to our computer and upload some video of her so you can really see her and hear all the noises she makes. She is so loud and loves to squeal. She is so inquisitive too - when we are walking down the street she is in the sling and she is just looking everywhere, up, down side to side.

I have had some people ask about the adjustment and even before we left some asked about being sad that our family is changing. Not sad in a bad way but just mourning what we had as we looked forward to a new beginning. I know it's only been a few days with her but honestly it seems like she just fits. I have not been sad for Abraham that he is no longer the only child. I feel like things are just how they are supposed to be. We have prayed for so many years for another child and then these past 3 years we have prayed for Eden that it all just feels normal. The more I look at her and the more I hold her the more I am falling in love with her. I loved her before I met her but with each day it's getting deeper. As I looked at her tonight at dinner while Rob was holding her I could "feel" the love I have for her. Abraham has done so well - he has not seemed jealous he has been patient with her and with us having to attend to her so much. I have seen him kiss her hands a few times, which is so sweet.

Rob is currently patting her bottom trying to get her to sleep - once asleep she does well but when she first goes down she struggles a bit.

well I guess that's all for now. I will try and post some pictures in another post. If I can't maybe check Facebook for pictures we seem to be able to do that better.
