So grown up!

Recent new words that I find so adorable: "come," along with the outstretched arm and open and closed hand, and "do it," when she needs help with something. Love her. :) 

Getting undressed

Daycare is awesome in so many ways, but there is something that they have been teaching her there that is sort of stressing me out. They are teaching her how to get undressed. It is generally fine. Except now she can also take her clothes and her diaper completely off. At night. Before she falls asleep. Which means for the last week and a half, in scared at how much solid and liquid waste awaits me on my sweet baby girl and her blankets, clothes, crib, etc. tonight I put her to bed with two diapers on, the second one is backward. Hopefully it will train her out of getting completely naked. 

Also, I checked on her tonight and she had a poopy diaper, so I changed her while she kept her little forearm draped over her eyes to shield herself from the light. She also periodically lifted her arm to turn and give me flirty smiles. I am in love with her. 

Words

So, I haven't kept up with Edens words nearly as closely as I had with Moses. But I guess this is better late than never. Eden has a pretty big vocabulary. I love it, really because I love her little voice. :) she is so delightful. :)

18 month stats. Real quick.

Height 32.25 inches (66%)

Weight 24 pounds (45%)

Head circumference 18.5 inches (63%) 

She's a perfect size. :) my little babe! 

I don't know if I mentioned that her first sentence was "Mommy, no." Yesterday was her second sentence and it was "Daddy shoe." Haha. Girl loves shoes!

She came to work last week for "Bring your kid to work" day. She worked hard. :)

Talking

I love her little voice. She tried to sing Old McDonald with me tonight. That's advanced, right? :) Her current favorite words are:

* uh oh

* key-key (candy)

* apple (any kind of produce)

* go (dog, or what we can Jude)

* mama

* dada

* shoes

* poop

* bebe 

Four teeth, a cold, weaning, and joy

So, I keep saying it, but really, Eden is the best baby ever! She has recently gotten four new teeth, a cold (complete with irritating eye goop), weaned completely, and she is still joyful. Tonight, the foot of her pajamas had a hole so her big toe was peeking out, and I'm not kidding, she was screaming with joy!! I can't handle how much I enjoy her. 

15 month stats and update

We had our 15 month appointment last week, kind of late, I guess. We went to see Dr. Deeb because our regular doc, Dr. Brittany Wilson left the practice. The staff were all trying to be nice about it, except for Dr. Deeb who called it a professional divorce due to irreconcilable differences. :O\ I miss Dr. Wilson. But we'll be moving soon, so there isn't a reason to really look for a new pediatrician for 2 months. Except that he brushed off Moses's visit yesterday. Anyway, this was going to be a happy little update. :O) So, here are Eden's 15 months stats:

Height 31.75 inches (85 percentile)

Weight 22 pounds 12 ounces (47 percentile)

Head circumference 18.5 inches (79 percentile)

So, Eden went from 45 percentile for height to 85 percentile so I feel a little less confident of her measurements, but at least she's growing. :O) Plus, she's just perfect. :O) Also, her low iron level was corrected with good diet over the last few months. So, we showed you, Polyvisol. Ha!

She has also started to really use the word, "Up," to get us to pick her up. She raises her arms, looks straight in your eyes, and says it with so much intention. It is so precious that it is really hard to ever say no to it. Of course, the worst comes just before dinner time, when I often have to say no as I cook our meal, which turns into her biggest meltdowns. She cries, Judy howls in response, and Moses often runs off to his room to shut his door and play. It's a sad time of day for Eden. I wish I could just sit and hold that little girl all day. She is so wonderful. :)

I found that she is waking up early these days (like in the 5 o'clock hour), and yesterday, like clockwork, I found two new teeth nubs, her ninth and tenth teeth, these two on her upper gums.
