8 months of Eden

Does it make me a bad mom if I say that I love Eden more today than I ever have?

Not that I didn't love her 8 months ago, 'cause I did... lots & lots.

But now she actually loves me back. Or at least I'd like to think she does.

She beams with excitement the moment she see's me. And when I pick her up she nuzzles her head right into my chest and pulls at my obnoxiously frizzy hair. And I soak her in... all 8 months of her chubby goodness. And I think for just a moment that maybe, just maybe, I could have another one of her. But then I realize that that's the crazy in me doing the talking.

8 month stats

• She's sitting up like a big girl.

• She likes to fall asleep holding her toes.

• She's finally sprouted two bottom teeth.

• Coincidentally, that same week I started find little red welts and sores all over her feet.

• Apparently, her toes have become a little bedtime snack.

• She could possibly be the spawn of Edward.

• She's a very serious little girl, but makes up for it with sweetness.

• She decided that sleeping through the night is not such a bad idea.

• That was until her top teeth started coming in.

• It was a blissful two weeks while it lasted.
