Milestones

Boy am I glad I have a blog. It's the only "journal" I have of my pregnancy and Eden's first year.

Eden is almost 13 months old. Here are some fun things she is doing lately:

* She is still sleeping 12 hours straight at night. She has always been such a great sleeper and I thank her ever day for it. I lay her down in her crib and she usually puts herself to sleep within a few minutes.

* Her vocabulary consists of Hi, Yummy, Tickle, Mommy, Daddy, Nana, Papa, Cheese, baby and a few others I can't think of. She can also sign more, all done, milk and beautiful.

* She can point to various body parts, like her nose, ears, eyes, tongue, mouth, toes, etc.

* She is trying to run

* She loves cheese, eggs, pasta w/ sauce, chicken, pb&j's, and her cousin's sippie cups.

* She loves being outside!

* She loves being the center of attention and making people laugh.

* She absolutely loves playing with other kids. Luckily she has lots of friends and cousins to play with!

* She gets super excited when we ask if she wants to take a bath or shower. She'll start taking her diaper off and run towards the bathroom.

* She is cutting her bottom molars right now. That makes 11 teeth! Lucky for me, teething has never even phased her. I just find random teeth coming in!

* She will not wear anything on her head. No headbands, bows, ponytails, anything. But, she will wear her sunglasses all day long if I let her.

* She has started throwing fits. They are hilarious and I laugh every time. She throws herself on the floor and just sprawls out with her head buried in the ground. Then, she scoots her face along the ground until she hits her head into something hard. If I let her, she'll continue to bang her head over and over into whatever she ran into.

Eden not liking to wear things on her head is payback for all of the hideous accessories you tried to make Maisie wear all those years ago!! Remember the wig?
