Why do I Love this Girl?

I can't believe that Eden is 11 months old!  I'm pretty sure that I was pregnant for my whole life and now she's almost a year old.  One look at that face and you'll know why I'm head over heels for her, but I'll add a few more things to love.


  •  Eden is so empathetic to everyone.  If anyone else is crying, she starts crying.  She has a baby doll that laughs when you push her stomach.  The problem is that every 7th time you push her stomach, she cries.  And when the doll cries, Eden cries.
  • She gives kisses which consist of her leaning toward you and giving you a big ole open mouth slobber on the cheek, or the nose, or wherever she lands.
  • She cuddles with me while I rock her to sleep
  • She dances to any music she hears.  During conference, any time the choir came on she was dancing away.  Her dance moves don't exactly match the MOTAB style.
  • She is afraid of the printer.  Classic.  But that doesn't stop her from pushing all the buttons again and again.  After she's pushed the buttons, she starts crying because of the noises it makes.
  • She is also afraid of/doesn't like (who knows which one) shoes.  If she sees her shoes she starts crying and FORGET IT if you try to put them on her!
  • She loves babies.  Particularly their eyes.  I guess what goes around comes around.  Every infant was poked in the eye by a baby, and every baby will poke an infant in the eye.  Most of the time this action is followed by a proud "EYE!" ( Not Eden yet, but it's only a matter of time...) 
  • She continues to sleep through the night and take two naps during the day.  Bless that child.
  • She signs "more", but to her it means "I want that". She does it anytime you have something she wants and it's adorable and sometimes frustrating because I can't figure out what she wants.
  • She loves to laugh and she and I laugh our way through every day.  This statement may seem contradictory, seeing as I posted two things above that make her cry, but I listed them because that's really the only time she cries.
  • Still no teeth.
  • I just LOVE this amazing girl!  Happy 11 months!
