Eden's Edition ... 12 Month Update

Eden turned 1 year on 11/2/15! Where did my baby go?

She is in 12 month clothes and size 3 shoes.

Eden loves to play with Kanaan and will follow him wherever he goes. They are such good buddies.


She is standing for a few seconds on her own, and will walk if I hold one of her hands.


She is a good eater and eats pretty much everything I give her. She drinks from a sippy cup and straw. She won't drink her formula or breastmilk from a cup though, only a bottle. Once we run out of formula and frozen breastmilk I'll ditch the bottles for good, but I don't want to waste the formula and breastmilk. She is a much neater eater than her brother.


She loves to play peek a boo.



She is in size 3 diapers and medium rise on cloth diapers.



When she points at something she points using her index and middle fingers together.



She gives the best hugs and loves to snuggle.

Eden's Edition...11 Month Update!

Eden turned 11 months on 10/2/15! I can't believe she's almost one already. 


She weighed 18lbs even. 


 She is in a mix of size 2 and 3 shoes. 



She is in size 3 disposable diapers, and medium rise in cloth diapers. 


She is in 6-9m (9m) clothes but the pants are getting short. 

She learned to drink out of a straw this month. She still eats pretty much anything you give her. She is drinking a mix of breastmilk and formula in her bottles. 

She won't leave headbands on anymore so I usually put her hair in pigtails. 






She says Mama Dada Hi Aww. 


Eden sleeps from 7pm-7am and then takes a 2-3 hour nap around noon.

Eden's Edition ... 10 Month Update!

Eden turned 10 months on 9/2/15!

She weighs 17lbs 2oz. She had a big growth spurt this month.

She has 6 teeth, 4 on top, 2 on bottom.

She wears size 6-9m(9m). She can still fit into her 3-6m(6m) summer stuff, but the pants are now capris. I will completely switch her clothes over to 9m once cooler weather hits for good.

In shoes she can wear some 0-3m, 3-6m, and I just had to return some size 2 shoes and get size 3 for her because her toes were right at the end of the 2s. Typically size 3 are the same as 6-9m shoes.

She is in size 3 disposable diapers, and medium rise in cloth diapers.

She has started standing on her knees a lot this month.

She says Mama and Dada.

She goes to bed around 7 and will wake up around 8-9. Often I don't really know when she has woken up, because she will quietly play in her crib until I go in to get her out.

She eats pretty much everything we give her. She is constantly trying to eat the dog food, so we have to keep a close eye on her. My milk supply really dropped to almost nothing since I've gone back to work. So she is pretty much on formula all the time now. I have a little bit of milk still in the freezer for her to finish. We switched to the Playtex Nurser bottles. We had gotten a lot of them from yard sales before we had Kanaan and he could never figure out how to latch onto them. Eden would sometimes not really want the bottle when we used Dr. Brown's bottles, and I tried one of the Playtex ones, since we have liners to use and she took right to it. Also the breastmilk storage bags I used for breast milk fits in the bottles perfectly. So I can thaw the milk and then just put the bag right on the bottle instead of throwing away the milk bag and using a separate disposable liner for the bottle. I also have a lot of extra milk bags, so I try to use those instead of the liners for her formula when we are home. That way I don't have to buy the actual liners until I run out of the other bags.

She likes to go over to Kanaan's high chair, if he is eating and she isn't and will pull up to it, hoping he will give her something to eat. Most of the stuff he has in his high chair she can eat as well. However the other day I had them in the grocery cart. Kanaan was in the basket, and Eden was in the seat. While I was picking out bananas, Kanaan had given Eden a grape, I wouldn't have known, except I heard Kanaan say "Sissy Grapes" and turned around and her mouth was stuffed with them. I quickly scooped them out, so she wouldn't choke. After that I ended up grabbing one of those 2 layer smaller carts to put the food in and pulled it while I pushed the kids in the separate cart. Grapes are huge choking hazard for kids under 4-5 and need cut up into small pieces when served.

She really likes Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. If it comes on she will stop whatever she is doing and starting talking to the tv really loud. Her favorite is the theme song and ending song.

She moved to a convertible car seat this month. Her seat is the same one Kanaan has only in pink.

Aunt Kayla also gave her her first ponytail this month. She doesn't have much hair and it is super fine it kind of sticks up all over her head. You have to comb it immediately after her bath or it will dry where it is and be crazy. It dries super fast since it's so fine. If you put a bow in it, it will stay stuck up where the bow was until she has had a bath.

Eden's Edition ... 9 Month Update


Eden turned 9 months on 8/2/15.


She is 15lbs 10oz 28.5in.

Ignore me in the background. Getting pictures this month was quite the challenge.
She has 6 teeth, four on top and two on bottom.



She is a great eater and likes pretty much everything we give her. She tries to eat things we don't give her too ;)


She usually sleeps from 7ish until 8-9. A lot of time when I go into wake her up, she is already awake just playing in her crib, so I'm not sure when she usually wakes up.

She takes 1 nap around 12-2:30ish.


She is in 3-6m(6m) and some 9-12m(9m) clothes.


She is in size 3 disposable diapers and small rise cloth diapers.



I'm not sure about shoe size. We have some shoes that are 0-3m and some that are 3-6m that both fit her. I feel like they don't make baby shoes sizes very consistent, at least not in girl styles.


I started working 2 days a week this month, and she is doing great with a bottle while I'm gone. We are using the Dr. Brown's bottles, that we used with Kanaan.


She is always on the go, loves to explore, and follows Kanaan wherever he goes.



She takes her baths with Kanaan. This isn't really new this month, but she will cry in the tub and try to climb out unless he is in there with her. However she had her first experience swimming in a big pool this month and loved it. I put her in her floaty and she just kicked and traveled all over the pool. Kanaan was scared at first but then decided it would be ok to try it out since Eden was having so much fun.
