Spring Break!!

This week is Drew's Spring Break so we are all very excited to have a few days to spend together as a family.  Erin and I have joked over the past few weeks about Kate's ability to "turn it on" when company arrives.  Never mind that she often exercises her lungs when they leave....  Here are a few pictures of some visitors during Kate's last few weeks.

Aunt Jamie with Kate...it turns out that Aunt Jamie had some good tricks up her sleeve!

Ryan and Theresa stopped by to see Kate debut her pink pants...such a diva.

The neighbors brought Kate an Easter Bunny hat. 

1 Month

It's hard to believe that Kate is a month old today!   

ILL-INI

Much to Drew's dismay, Kate and the rest of the Sand/Eder clan were proudly sporting orange and blue today.  Here's to hoping for an Illinois victory tonight and a Sweet-16 appearance (or at least a respectable showing)! 

 Kate and Mom

Kate, Cousin Ryan and a little bit of Uncle Matthew

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Kate couldn't decide which outfit to wear today to celebrate her Irish heritage.  So....

"The Lip"

Isn't it too early for "the lip"?

The Blind Leading the Blind

One of our favorite TV shows is Modern Family and, in my opinion, Phil Dunphy is the greatest TV character since Dwight Schrute from The Office.  Earlier this season there was an episode about parenting and at the very end of the episode Phil said, "Once you have kids you realize that your parents had no idea what they were doing just like you had no idea what you were doing.  You just do your best and hope you don't raise a serial killer."  This quote has comforted us over the last few days as we continue to try and figure our little one out!

Sleep...what is that???

This past week the Eder Family has been starting to get back to "normalcy."  Our return visit to the doctor went well and Kate gained 11 ounces (confirming that she is an Eder).  But, we are still working under a tight eating regimen for the remainder of this week.  Drew returned back to work on Friday and nearly fell asleep at his desk by 1pm while Erin and Kate did a great job on their own for the first time. 

One of Erin and my favorite characteristics about Kate so far is that she is undoubtedly a snuggler!  Her favorite place to fall asleep is on our chests and if the top of her head isn't touching our face she squirms her way up until it does.  While this does play a part in our current sleep deprivation, we wouldn't have it any other way!!
