Nine months

On February 8, Eden officially hit nine months. She has now been out of the womb as long as she was in the womb. That seem like a pretty big deal! The time waiting for her seemed to move a lot more slowly than the time watching her grow up.

Lately, she had her first sickness or just a phantom fever with no other symptoms that went away after a few days.  We have had a wonderful visit from Grammie. Eden can now pull up easily on objects and stand. She officially has tasted Ingrid's food and liked it. And she does funny little things like what appears to be lapping her tongue like a dog. We suppose she learned this from watching Ingrid lick us. We love this little girl so much it hurts.

Excited Grammie took us out to one of our favorite places,
Eva's Bakery

These two both prefer to play with the trash over anything

Morning tongue tricks

I found her in a pile of books and my heart exploded

So excited to be a big girl!

Overalls, because they are cute and she will be helping
in the garden :)

 The past couple of days have been really nice compared to really cold and horrible air quality. We managed to get some park time in with our friends. Eden hasn't sat in the grass since she was very little and then she was lying on a blanket. Today she got to explore around in the grass but kept grabbing fistfuls to put in her mouth. I moved to the side walk and she ate mulch and pine needles instead. We will work on exploring nature in other ways another day.
