I'm ONE!

I am 1 years old! It flew by so quick.  I have learned so much in JUST 1 YEAR!!! Mom and Dad think I'm the cutest and sweetest baby in the world and they can't believe how much love they have for me. I know I'm loved and I'm starting to show my love toward them. I give hugs and kisses and reach up for a cuddle when I need some loves.
Here are a few things I'm doing now:
Walking EVERYWHERE..
Climbing up ladders
Drinking out of a sippy cup
Taking 2 naps a day
Playing with my baby's
Scaring mom and dad
Hiding in boxes and other hiding places
playing peek-a-boo
Learning sign language
Throwing and Rolling balls
Climbing up slides and sliding down
taking showers
Climbing up and down stairs
sitting in a forward facing car-seat
Using forks and spoons to feed myself

I'm on the go and mom and dad have to watch me every second. They like to push me around in my car and take me on walks to the big hills by our house and let me roll down them in my push car. I have so much fun.
I have started talking and saying lots of words. Here are my favorite ones..
Light        ball         Apple
Jesus        outside    Thanks
Baby        No No     ma ma
Da Da      Dad         out
up            Boo         bah bah
Banana    Hot          birds

Books      E-d-e-n    snow
Flower     shoes       Na Na (Christianna)

9 Months Old Already.. ?

I can't believe it has already been 9 months.  It's amazing how much I can learn in such a small period of time.  Here are a few things I've learned and mastered.

I feed myself finger foods
I wave Hello & Goodbye
I give kisses on command
I crawl EVERYWHERE
I pull myself onto anything I can
I eat cords, paper, books, and pretty much everything in sight
I say "mama" all the time
I can say da da and bah  bah
I can point at objects & use my pincers
Ive also got 8 teeth and I smile at anyone that looks at me. I'm friendly and love to be around other kids and adults.  I enjoy being outside and playing in the water. My hair is thickening and I love crawling into cabnents, dishwashers and under tables.. I love exploring.

I had a 9mth visit with my Dr. and here are my stats:
Age: 9 months
Date 7/20/12
Weight: 21 lbs 15oz (92%)
Length: 29.25" (94%)

I'm 6 MONTHS YOUNG!!!!

 I can't believe I've been a part of my family for 6 whole months. I'm learning so much and M&D are enjoying every second with me.  Here are a few things I'm doing.

- I'm sleeping in my OWN room and my own BIG crib. I love it! I roll around and love exploring from one end to another. I sleep throughout the whole night and love to stretch out. I'm so glad mommy finally let me move from the cramped bassinet!
-Mom started giving me baby food although I don't really like it yet.  I like to arch myself back to avoid the food entering my mouth. Mom will occasionally trick me and give me a toy for me to chew on or make me laugh and when I open my mouth she sneaks it in. I did really good eating carrots with daddy and was even holding the spoon myself. That was fun but I don't really like carrots anymore!
-I'm sitting up on my own and can reach forward and side to side while remaining balanced
- I'm rolling all around the place.  WITH NO HELP! Side to side.. back and forth.. and although I'm not crawling.. this system helps me move from one place to another.
-I'm TALKING sooo much.. mostly it's just jabbers and I play with my sounds and occasionally make a real word.
-I've found my tongue and know how to use it. I spit all over the place and I love the vibration on my lips.
- I laugh a lot and smile all the time.  Mostly I laugh when M&D try to eat my juicy little thighs and tummy.  I like to smile at strangers and I LOVE when they tell me how cute I am!
- I'm cruising all over the place in my little "car"I like to chase daddy around the kitchen.
- I love to jump. M&D bought me a jumper that they hang in the doorways and I can jump for so long. But now my favorite thing is to jump when mommy and daddy are holding me. I CAN'T stop. I definitively give their arms a workout.

I had a 6mth Dr appointment yesterday and the Dr said I was doing really well. Here are my stats
Age: 6 months
Date: 4/24/12
Length: 27.75" (97%)
Weight: 19lbs 11oz. (96%)
Head Circ: 42.6cm (52%)
I also got my booster shots.  I only cried for a few seconds and then daddy gave me some love and mommy distracted me with sticking my toes in the running water in the waiting room. I forgot about the pain and was back to being my smiley self.

Being six months is fun because I get so much love and make so many people smile. I'm sure getting a lot of attention with my smile. I think I'll keep using it! I love to be around people and be outside. I can't wait to play with all my neighbors and be able to run and keep up with them.

Love,
Baby Eden
P.S. I eat EVERYTHING!

Dear Sweet Eden,

Due to your two bottom teeth coming in I regret to inform you that you will no longer get milk FRESH from the dairy.

Regretfully,
Your loving Mommy

My 4 month check up was a success!

I'm doing so good! I was happy and smiley and ready for my 2nd round of shots.  I didn't even cry this time.. I just turned red and looked like I was about to but took a deep breath and mommy picked me up to hug and kiss me but I didn't cry. I'm so brave! M &D were so proud of me.
The Dr. was proud of me too. He said I'm growing so big and that I am doing great.  Here was my report card:
Age: 4mths
Date: 2/21/12
Length: 25.7" (92%)
Weight: 16lb 11oz (95%)
Head Circ: 41.4cm (61%)
I've been getting lots of comments lately. Like "what a chunk", "look at that chunk a munk", "Those cheeks!!", etc.. It was starting to make mommy nervous but Dr. said not to worry.  So mommy is continuing to feed me when I'm hungry and I'm going to keep growing and getting stronger.  I've been rolling over a lot lately and M&D are so happy!
Love,
Baby Eden

My Two Mth Check up

My two month check up was kind of a big deal. I had to get my shots. Mom and Dad were so nervous and have been trying to decide which shots they think were necessary they decided on (mommy has to confirm with daddy). I was afraid of the needle but I think mommy was more scared. I had to be tough for her. I only cried for 2-5 seconds and was back to smiling! Mom and dad kept telling me how proud they were of me.
I'm growing so much bigger and the Dr. was so proud of me. Im strong and healthy and responsive. Here is my 2 month report card:
Age: 2 months
Date: 12/20/11
Length: 23.25" (82%)
Weight: 11lbs 14oz (77%)
Head Circ: 38.6cm (46%)

This 2 month I have learned a lot of things. I'm smiling and holding my head up when I'm on my tummy. I've started smiling and grabbing for things. I'm sleeping through the night and waking up happy. I can't wait to see what else I can learn.
Love,
Baby Eden
