EDEN TURNED 1

The first year is already over.
Miss Eden turned 1 on June 9th. The first year always seems to go by so quickly. It's a whirlwind of sleep deprivation, family adjustments, baby milestones, chaos and fun. It always amazes me how much a baby grows in their first year. From this tiny, pink little newborn to a cruising, crawling or walking 'toddler' with a feisty personality and a lot of sass...all in just a year.

Eden is such a little cutie. Since her 9 month post, she has progressed to a one legged crawl, and is really fast getting around like that, cruising along furniture and as of the last couple days, very brief moments of letting go and standing for a couple seconds unsupported. She's not walking yet, but I don't think it'll be too much longer. Luke and Kate both walked before a year, but Eden has been very much following her own path and doing everything differently to her siblings. She already has 8 teeth.. 4 top and 4 on the bottom. Neither of her siblings had even close to 8 teeth at a year either. lol.
She unfortunately likes to bite as well as pull hair.. so we're working on those things, but it's pretty hard trying to get through to a just barely turned 1 year old.

She is still a total mommy's girl. Some days I LOVE it, and some days I would love a break from my little 'cling-on'. lol
We're still not 100% sure on the final color of her hair, but right now it's still looking auburn which I am so excited about :)

She had her 12 month pediatrician check up this week, and she is still such a petite little thing.
Her stats are:
Weight: 15lbs 11.5oz (7.13kg) - less than 3rd percentile
Height: 28.25 inches (71.8cm) - 18th percentile
Head: 17.25 inches - 18th percentile

For Eden's birthday we invited 2 sets of friends over, had a delicious grilled chicken dinner and enjoyed opening some gifts and eating cake with Eden. It was a small and simple birthday celebration, but good :)

I don't remember life before Eden anymore. She's the perfect addition to our family and we just love her so much. Her siblings love her too. Luke is completely besotted with her and Kate loves her but prefers things from a distance. lol. Kate isn't at a very good sharing age yet, and she doesn't like it when Eden touches or gets near her things, which if they're in reach is ALWAYS. Luke is patient and understanding with her and very sweet to her. I'm so proud of the big brother he is.
