In his debut studio picture session, Edgar was flirty...
“It is as though the poem, through its exuberance, awakened new depths in us. […] And this is also true of a simple experience of reading. The image offered us by reading the poem now becomes really our own. It takes root in us. It has been given us by another, but we begin to have the impression that we could have created it…[the image] becomes a new being…by making us what it expresses. […] Here expression creates being” (Bachelard).

One Year Old!
What a fun birthday! To Edgar, just about anything is worth an "OOOoooooH!", and his birthday celebrations were filled with MANY OOOOOOOooooooOOOooooHS!
FAMILY BIRTHDAY PARTY
The First Haircut!!!
I was getting really sick of his hair always in his eyes. Every picture. Every meal time. But I LOVE his long curls...so the idea was to cut the really long stuff, trim the bangs, and leave the curls.
Before
Ready...
Set...
("Ow" is Edgar's word for hair. On account of that is what mommy and daddy say when you pull their hair.)
Friend Party
- He loves to laugh and make others laugh
- He LOVES music. He leads music, sings, and often asks us to turn on records (that is the word he uses for turning music on the stereo. "reh-cur") He loves to play "TaWR!" (Guitar) and OOOhhhAOOOhhaA (Piano).
- He is very independent and creative when exploring and trying new things. He likes to try things out himself and without any help.
- He says lots of cute words: Dogoo (Yogurt or cottage cheese), Aahpoe (Apple, or applesauce), Tur-toe (turtle), VAH COO! (vacuum. always said as a yell. He LOVES the vacuum. He got a toy vacuum for his birthday!), Beh-poo (Becky, our friend upstairs who watches Edgar now that I am working a few hours a couple days a week. He LOVES Beh-poo.), choo (shoe) and eeyok (sock). He Loves to put on shoes and socks to go out. Yehck. Die-puh (diaper), aaah = eyes.
- I love how much he loves his momma and dad. He loves to kiss us and hug us and does so often.
There is so much I love about this boy! I'm so glad to be his momma!
I love my family!

Eyes
This is especially for grandma Vickie and grandpa Lester (=
While Edgar has long been interested in facial features, he is just now realizing that he has them too! Here he has discovered how to blink. Also, the hand thing and the "Ooohhah" I-want-it-now whine is the way he asks us to sing songs with him.

Easter, etc.
We spent Easter Weekend with Alex's parents. It was also General Conference Weekend, so we spent much of the weekend being spiritually fed while lounging on couches and bean bags (=
With Edgar running around ALL THE TIME, it was a great year for his first Easter Egg Hunt!

With Edgar running around ALL THE TIME, it was a great year for his first Easter Egg Hunt!
He took the whole thing very seriously. He was a little uncertain about what to do once he got an egg in each hand. He was NOT about to put the eggs in a basket (drop them? no way! they are mine!), so he opted to quickly drop on egg and scoop up the third (as long as I always have one in each hand, I'm good, right?)
It was cold. And wet. And windy.
They did not stay together too good...surprise! Marshmallows!
