Nine months (panda photos)

 

It's time for another month of panda photos!

Welcome to my bedroom - I'm so happy to see you!

Look how well I shake my shaker now!

Hey, why did Daddy put my shaker over there?

Oh yeah, to show my latest skill - crawling!

I can also crawl to this side...

See?

Thanks for joining me!

Eden had a big month going from 8-9!

Many firsts:

-feeding herself

-eating LOTS of foods for the first time

-holding her bottle

-rolling

-getting from tummy to seated position

-crawling - just barely!

-sleeping without a sleep sack

-imitating some gestures (waving, clapping)

-ear infection :(

-104 degree fever : (

 

Food

Eden can feed herself now.  And she loves to do it!

Note:  the above onesie was borrowed from a friend after she had a blowout in the car on the way over

Pool time

And in our backyard Sunday!

Eden quote of the day

Colorful Balls, Part 2 of ???

Eden and I got together yesterday for the first time in almost a month! A small part of me worried that she might not remember me, but when I got to daycare, it was like no time had passed at all! Except for a couple things...

First of all, even though she had scoffed at them before, Eden thoroughly enjoyed my colored balls this time!

They were tasty, and fun to drop outside of the basket. Whee!

Then, Eden could move herself across a room MUCH more than when I last saw her. Bonnie told me about "backscooting," but I'd never seen it. I was quite impressed. I took a video of her going a long way, but I'm not sure how to share it. Here are some photos:

Hmm, this picture and the next make it look like she was crawling forward. Did she?

I think maybe the two blue ball pictures were out of order. The more likely scenario is that she went to grab the ball and it rolled away from her. Then she scooted herself all the way back behind the ball pit to the foot of the sofa. She sat herself there and began to cry.

She was so nice to share a red ball with a kitty who seemed patiently interested.
