Eden is 9 MONTHS!!!

 
Eden is 9 months old and growing so fast!  I love this age!  She is learning all the time...here are some of her latest accomplishments:
Says mama (8/30/12)-not sure if it's intentional but she knows that if she has a need unmet that saying that will fulfill it!  Eden will sit up for several minutes by herself (9/7/12).  She is scooting around a little by moving on her belly in circles and backwards (9/8/12).  She doesn't see an object across the room and work to get to it, she just accidently gets places.  And the really weird thing is she knows how to roll, but never rolls to get places.  I don't think she has figured that one out yet!  She says the dadadada syllables (9/9/12)-again not necessarily intentional.  Eden started waving bye-bye (9/10/12).  She started clapping  her hands (9/11/12).
Eden's schedule is pretty much the same as last month except she is more consistent with eating at meal times and is drinking water or breast milk from a sippy cup with her meals.  I have even recently tried cutting up cooked veggies like carrots, green beans, peas and broccoli.
Eden is almost always happy unless she is hungry or alone.  She rarely cries if she is tired until you are getting ready to put her to bed.  For example she can be as happy as can be playing but the second I lay her on the boppy to nurse before a nap or bed, she can hardly focus because she is so tired and crying/rubbing her eyes, etc.!!
 
Eden LOVES our puppies.  I swear she is even making a puppy noise when she sees one of them.  Bella is such a good dog.  She just sits there and takes it!  Every once in a while you will hear a yelp out of her but she likes the attention!
 
UPDATE:  At Eden's 9 month check up on 9/26/12 Eden weighed in at 17lbs. 12.5oz. and was 27.5" long.  Her head circumference was 45.5cm.  She is developing right on track with a normal 9 month old!  The Dr. asked me if we have ever been told her joints are extra mobile and I said, 'well, actually I have hypermobility joint syndrome so that kind of makes sense!'  I guess she takes after me in one way at least...not that it's a good thing :(
