Eden is 13 MONTHS!!!

Already over a year old!  I didn't realize how much she looks like Charlie Brown in this outfit until I see it in pictures!  She's the cutest Charlie Brown though!  Eden doesn't sit still much for pictures anymore!  She would rather play peek a boo or try fancy tricks holding herself up with one arm and one leg!  This kid is so full of energy and ALWAYS has a smile on her face.
A funny/neat thing about Eden that I have noticed her doing a lot this month is she uses her other hand to 'help' the opposite hand do something.  For example: I have been helping her learn to turn lights on and off by grabbing her hand and using her finger to do it so now she uses her own hand to 'help' her other hand do it.  She does this with so many things I have taught her to do.  It's amazing, really that she would pick up on the fact that my hand is helping her hand.  She doesn't do it all the time...only when she is having a hard time doing something.  I guess maybe it's her way of telling me to help her!
Something not so funny/neat is she has the most ear wrenching mad 'cry'.  If she wants something and you are telling her 'no' she lets out this awful screech.  It's not loud necessarily...it's just, well, annoying!  And it makes you want to give her whatever she wants immediately just to make it stop!
In tooth news...Eden has another tooth!!!  The right front top one is finally in (12/27).  AND She is getting in two new teeth. The ones on the outer edges of her two front bottom teeth (12/19/12).
Eden is still a good nurser.  Nursing five times a day.  Sleeping 12 hours at night and taking two really good naps during the day.  She is tolerable if she misses her morning nap, but it's still not on the horizon for dropping it altogether.
Eden continues to watch and learn about anything and everything her sisters are teaching her!  She is such a fun addition to our family and I couldn't imagine life without her toothy grins!
