18 month Eden

My cheesey little princess. Oh man, I love this girl so so much! She is finally old enough for nursery even though she has been going forever. It is crazy to see her amazing personality just shine every single day. She is turning out to have as much energy as Kael, however I think she is a little better at channeling that energy. She is still taking 2 naps a day, but if I need to keep her awake in the morning she does awesome and does great with just one nap. She still hates milk, but loves everything else food and drink wise. I constantly am finding her digging through the recycle bin and pulling out soda cans and trying to taste the last couple drops. She is so ridiculous. She loves food still. It makes life so much easier having your child eat on command. She loves chicken, chicken nuggets, hot dogs, corn dogs, cheese, fruit of any kind, crackers, nuts, broccoli, carrots, peas, mashed potatos, corn, juice, water, stuffing, pancakes, eggs, bacon, sausage, cereal, yogurt. The list goes on and on and on. She will eat just about anything you put in front of her. She will really love you if you give her a sucker.

Eden is talking up a storm! It is so weird because Kael could really only sign at this age. She is starting to put 2 words together sometimes. Like Mommy outside. Mommy shoes outside. Things like that.

This girl is obsessed with shoes and jewelry and hair clips and baby dolls and dress up and all things pink. She is 100% girl. She goes through her shoe drawer once a day at least and tries on her shoes and tells me to put them on her feet. She even wants socks half the time. Then, the other day when Derek was laying her down for bed she really just wanted/needed a hair bow. She kept kept pointing at them and saying bow so Derek being the awesome Dad he is put a bow in her hair and she went to bed.

She is starting to be a thorn in Kael's side though because she has learned to keep the toys she wants or to take what she wants from him. I knew they would eventually have arguments, but oh boy it is just silly.

She loves playing outside. She loves the swings and chasing the boys. She has a little friend Jaycee who she adores and says Jaycee every time we go outside. Benji and Miller would be considered her two little boy friends. She loves holding Benji's hand and Miller will play with her outside all day probably. I love seeing her interact with other kids. She is obsessed with bikes, but can't reach the peddles. She climbs up on them and just sits there until I either push her around, or she figures out she isn't going anywhere.

She is sleeping better at night since we took away her pacifier and she is just a little stink bug sometimes. I love this girl to death! She makes me smile every day and I love seeing her grow.

Words:
Daddy, Mommy, Kael (Ay el) It sounds silly.

Anyway there are a lot more words it is really just random and I should write them down when I hear them. Her vocab is just growing every day. She is amazing. I just can't believe she is a year and a half old. Where did the time go? My baby is a walking, talking toddler... Insert tear now.

I love you Eden little lady bug!
Hugs and Kisses,
Mom
