Eden Joy has also grown up quite a bit over the last few months. Her vocabulary has absolutely exploded and we love having conversations with her (and hearing her conversate with sister!) She loves to play with sister, but honestly she is still my dependent, clingier child and will hang out in my room and closet while I'm getting ready instead of playing in the playroom with sister. I don't mind having my little sidekick and I love how affectionate she still is. "I hold you, Mommy!" :)
This girl is just so sweet! She loves giving hugs and her smile lights up her whole face. She hates to see sister upset and will gladly give her the toy she is holding if that will make it all better. She's a giver:) As sweet as she is, she has enough sass to match it! Like Macy, she's pretty stubborn when she gets an idea in her head and we are into the full-blown discipline phase. Throwing fits, screaming and saying "No". Fun stuff:/ She is definitely more sensitive to discipline than Macy and it usually only takes a look or one consequence for her to turn it around.
Eden loves shoes! It cracks me up how many times she will change throughout the day. And it can be anyone's shoes; mine, Josh's, hers or Macy's. She is also already developing an opinion about what she wants to wear each day. And she fights me on wearing gowns at night. She prefers pants and shirts!
This week we've taken on the ambitious task of breaking her paci:/ We took her to Target and let her pick out a new lovey to sleep with and told her that she would no longer have her paci. Last night was the first night and she actually went to sleep without making a sound and slept until 8 this morning! I think part of the success was because she was wiped out tired from getting back from our trip to Great Wolf. I anticipate naptime today being more of a struggle. We will see! She loves her new lovey and of course, still sleeps with baby Roo. Honestly, the girl loves to sleep and is usually asking to get in her bed at naptime and night-time.
Sister has been teaching her to curtsey and it's pretty funny watching her attempt it. She puts her head all the way down on the floor and holds her dress or shirt out to the side.
She knows the word "breakable" and will walk around the house or a store and tell me what's breakable, meaning she knows she shouldn't be touching it!
She loves chanting "Lets go Rangers!" and clapping.
Stickers have become a good activity for her and tends to hold her attention longer than anything else. Another favorite activity is baby dolls and she enjoys putting clothes and diapers on them.
She talks about Sadie also but I'm pretty sure she doesn't exactly understand what's about to happen:) I know she's going to be hungry for Mommy's attention and I am just praying for patience and wisdom as we all adjust.
Since she could talk, she has called Macy "sister", but lately she's been saying "Macy". It's pretty cute how she says it (has a few extra syllables) And when Mommy and Daddy call Macy when she's in trouble, Eden will repeat it the way we said it.
Love this girl. She is so fun to watch right now and I could just eat her up!!
Had to zoom in on that sweet face!
