Eden has had quite a month! Since turning one she has grown leaps and bounds! We have ALL enjoyed watching her!
Since she started walking at just-shy-of 11 months, she is now pretty much running around! She is so fast and sturdy.
She LOVES being outside! With temps even just a bit milder, she loves to wear her new rain boots outside to play around. Its going to be a fun (and busy!) spring and summer!
She says so many new words!
Mama, Dada, Ducky, Quack, Bun-Bun (her bunny), Ba-ba (bye bye), Ahh Done (all done), Dis (this, as she points to what she wants), Wa-wa (water) are the words I can decipher so far! Its so much fun! The boys keep trying to teach her their names. I'm sure they will be next! She understands so much, we can talk to her and she responds, follows, or goes to do what we talk about.
She is sleep trained!! My parents took the boys for three nights the week after they got home from Mexico and I took the opportunity to be diligent about keeping Eden in her crib. It was easier than I expected! I shed a few tears, missing her cuddles at night, but we were thrilled at how well she took to sleeping all night in her own crib! The first night I laid her down for bed awake, she cried for less than 10 minutes. And that was it! She is a rockstar and I can tell she was totally ready for this next step. She now sleeps about 12 hours a night and also naps well in her crib. Hooray!!
She's a mama. She loves babies and her Bun-Bun. She carries them around, strolls with them, or plays with them and its no doubt its a natural instinct because she equally loves sticks, balls, Buzz Lightyear, and anything else the boys are playing with!
Her hair is getting so cute! She has been growing her hair in like crazy fast! This week people have been asking if we got her hair cut! We haven't had a cut yet - but its growing in with a cute little "bob" shape! Im sure it wont last forever, but its so cute right now. We almost always try to clip her hair to the side because otherwise its in her eyes.
She's small! Yep, I said it. WE have a small-ish child. Crazy, right? Everyone comments on how well she walks because she looks so small to be walking around (much less walking in rain boots, carrying a backpack, or doll!). She's much smaller than the boys at this age.
Joy joy joy! She is awesome and so much fun!
