3/4's of a year!

Eden is now 9 months!!

She has been such a fun baby. I think that I probably take more pictures of her than all of the others combined. She loves the camera! She has started this new thing where if she thinks she is being cute she will shrug her shoulders and cock her head to the side and give you the biggest grin. She is going to get away with a lot!! She has started shaking her head yes! Usually little kids will shake their heads no first. Not Eden, she raises her eyebrows, has her mouth in a little circle, and her head bobs up and down. It cracks me up. She also finds many things funny and spends lots of time laughing! She is so much fun and is a wonderful addition to our family.

Here are some of the things she is doing and her other accomplishments:

Crawls quickly all over the upstairs, we now have a gate at the top of the stairs. When she is downstairs, she will crawl, very carefully, upstairs!

Pulls her self up to everything (especially my plants) and has started walking around furniture.

Loves to play games with the kids. No one can make her laugh harder then Hannah, Peter, and Joe, but if she doesn't want them to touch her she has this yell that lets me know that someone is touching her.

• Has to be in the same room with someone, and will protest if she is left alone.
• Can brighten anyone's day instantly.
• Has charmed everyone at church. We never see her after Sacrament meeting until the end of church. She just gets passed around.
• Sleeps through the night, and will usually take 2 naps if we are at home.
• Lets you know if something is not right by telling you so in this low angry voice.
• When every thing is quiet (especially during the prayer) she thinks that means it's her turn to talk, and she doesn't speak quietly.
• She says "mamamama", "dadadadada", "bababababa", and she loves to click her tongue. It's like her own language and she feels smug when you click after she does.
• She is a good eater and isn't too picky! She loves to feed herself and feels very big.
