I know. I know. I am a horrible blogger, but my days are filled with Eden and/or teaching. I just cannot find the time in the day to update for my LARGE following list. haha. Facebook is so much quicker from my phone, and especially for this mommy.
But, alas, I am blogging. So, Eden will turn a year tomorrow, and I can't believe that I am going to have a one year old. Where does the time go? I don't remember time passing so quickly before I had Eden. I am still (or more so) totally in love with my family. I love my little baby cakes so much, and I always always will. I am so filled with wonder at her every move. She is beginning to have quite a large vocabulary for a one year old. She can say: "thcess" for princess, "at" for cat, "mama," "dada," "Chi-Chi" (our dog), "dat" for that, "dis" for this, "ite" for bite, "baba" for bottle, "gaga" for grandma, and her newest is "guhk" for book. I am sure that I am forgetting some.
She is still trying to walk, but she is basically walking. She stands for long periods of time without touching things, and then she will take 6 or so steps and sit. She hasn't fully just taken off, but I would give it a week or so, and I bet she will be. She is SUCH a climber. Always always climbing to the TOP of things. BIG things, too! Yesterday, she climbed up on top of an end table!
She is obsessed with books right now. She will point to every princess in every book. She does some signs when she sees things in books. She will take out a book and hand each one to you as patiently as possible, and she will watch and listen to the entire book until you are done, and then she digs another one out and hands it to you. She can sign bite, thank you, doll, ball, bear, and of course, she waves. She can also blow kisses.
We are transitioning to milk now. She hates it, so we are having to mix it with Nutramigen. I think the milk is too sweet. She is used to that bitter taste...ick. But, we are doing well with the sippies. She likes the straw sippies the best.
Well, we have a big party planned for Saturday. I hope that it is the most fun this little girl has ever had. I can't wait to post pics.
