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!

Important Message

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

I'm a happy sweet girl!

Things I have learned in my short 13 weeks.
- I love smiling. Smiling is my favorite!
- I love sleeping through the night. I have been sleeping 10-13 hours straight and this is M&D favorite thing that I do!
-I love to stand on feet! I grab on to MorD hands and they pull me up and I love using my strong leg muscles to stand and wobble around. I've learned to grab on to the side of the crib and hold myself up too.
- I love playing in the park (our floor play mat) I have birdie friends that I love to play with. One sounds like a bird and the other is a rattle and I can watch all the balls move around when I shake it.
- I love to talk. I say all kinds of words and I like to try to repeat what M & D are saying but mostly I like when they copy me.
- I love looking at the mirror. It makes me happy and I smile big and giggle. I figured out it was me a couple weeks ago when mommy was pointing at me in the mirror and I kept jumping.
- I love getting kissed and loved. M&D smother me!
- I love to listen to music and watch M&D dance and sing to me. I'm starting to dance a little myself.
- I love waking up from a Nap
- I love to watch "toon toons" the images on the tv, the music, the color.. it all gets my attention and I think it is soo funny!
- I'm learning to be on my belly and hold my chest and head up high. I'm getting stronger but I don't quite love it yet.
- I'm close to rolling over and I know with a little more practice I'll have it figured out. M&D continue to help me learn.
- I've learned to sit up for about 5 seconds without folding over onto my face. M&D are so proud of me and I like to hear them cheering me on.
-I've learned to hold my bottle for short periods of time. The longest I've held it is for about 15 seconds.
-I'm starting to suck my thumb (AND FIST) and I do it very awkwardly. Mom thinks it is so cute..
-My MOST FAVORITE thing to do now is to SWIM! I LOVE SWIMMING! mommy puts me in the bathtub with a couple inches of water and I have FREEDOM! I kick and splash and have so much fun! I love to stay in my "swimming pool" for over 30 minutes and I don't like when I have to get out!
Here are a few pictures of me in action:
