Another month has flown by and Eden continues to be such a joy! Here are a few of this month's highlights:
Eden is still pulling up on everything and has started cruising on the furniture. She can easily make her way down the couches and fireplace and is getting faster every day! I will be very surprised if we don't have an early walker on our hands! 
She is also a huge climber, much more than Parker ever was! She climbs all over the furniture, on toys, stools, or whatever else might cross her path. She even climbed the steps in front of our house a few nights ago.
She still loves shoes! I find her sitting and chewing on shoes several times a day! She doesn't have a preference for type of shoe, size, color, or how clean they are. If this love of shoes keeps up, she is going to be costing me some big bucks in the future!
She is starting to interact with Parker and Addison a lot more. Because of her laid back and passive personality, she makes a great playmate . She rarely complains when one of them takes the toy that she has beenplaying with chewing on and instead will crawl around until she finds something else to play with put in her mouth.
Eden's pincher grasp is getting better every day. She easily picks up puffs and can usually get about 80% of them into her mouth. She is also becoming very interested in the sippy cup. She has figured out how to put it in her mouth but can't tilt it back far enough to make anything come out yet. Her newest trick is to carry it in her mouth while she is crawling.
The only "issue" that Eden has is her eating habits. Meal time is NOT her (or my) favorite time of day. She has a few foods that she will almost always eat, like oatmeal and sweet potatoes. Everything else is hit or miss. Some days she might eat a few bites of whatever I am offering, but most days she fights me the entire time I am feeding her until we both end up with baby food all over us. You never know until you get her in the highchair and offer the first bite what kind of mealtime we are going to have. I often feel like I have to perform a circus act in front of her just to get her to open her mouth. She has even learned how to laugh with her mouth closed because she knows that as soon as she opens it just a little bit, I am going to shove a spoon in it!
I am hoping that by the time she turns 10 months old, we will have made a huge improvement in the way Eden views food!

Don't let this cute face fool you! She's about to throw a huge fit!!
It has been another fun month watching Eden grow and change. She brings so much love to our family and I can't imagine life without her precious smile!
