What's been going on

So I'm terrible about blogging....obviously. Well a lot has happened since my last post IN AUGUST!! I'll try to give an update daily on the past few months (because man have they been eventful!).

Update #1

Eden turned 1 on November 25!! Wow, where does time go? Lately, I keep getting told by everyone that she no longer looks like a baby. I keep reminding myself to savor her remaining babyness. I find myself doing things like holding her longer before bed because I know that this time really flies. The fact that she is already 1 is testimony to that. Although I'm struggling with her new 1-ness, I'm also really enjoying it. Here's what Edie has been up to lately:

1. Walking-She's been walking for about a month now. She LOVES walking. She spends the majority of her day walking around and carrying a baby doll. She stopped crawling about 2 weeks ago and now only walks. It's so cute to see her waddling around. :)

2. Pretending/Mimicking-I didn't know pretending starts as early as 1, but it has with Edie. She loves her babies. She feeds them bottles, carries them, and loves them. I love seeing her "love on" her babies. We say, "Eden love her, " and she squeezes the dolls and grunts....SO CUTE!!! She also loves to get baby wipes and wipe everything. She'll grab a wipe and walk around the whole house wiping...carpet, tables, even mommy. She has also started pretending that she is putting lotion on herself. Whenever we are lotioning her up after bathtime she has started rubbing her hands together and acting like she is putting lotion on. The first time I saw her do this I laughed until I cried. She is hilarious!

3. Being sooo sweet-She has recently increased her snuggliness which I LOVE! She did not used to be the cuddliest baby because she was always on the go and interested in everything. While that is still true, lately she has been taking time to lay her head on my shoulder and pat me. She also now walks over and just wants to sit in my lap (she was always way too wiggly for that).

4. Talking up a storm-Edie has always been our little chatterbox, but she now seriously talks ALL the time. She says numerous words and even a couple of phrases like "Here you go." Her favorite words are "Bye-Bye" and "Mom."

More updates to come soon...:)
