Edith's 1 year stats

Teeth: 6.  2 on bottom, 4 on top

Eyes: Gray-brown.  Could it be that we finally have a brown eyed kid?

Hair: Brown, and a pretty good amount.  Just after a bath her hair stands up in a cute spike.  And she still has very prominent eyebrows.

Weight: 18 lbs, 12 oz.  She is a little heavier than Nora was, but most of it seems to be her head

Height:  Shortest baby of all three.  We think she is due for a big growth spurt.

Food likes: Lentils, creamy potato soup, hummus on a saltine cracker.  This is pretty much her entire diet.  She does not like anything sweet like fruit or cake.

Favorite toys: Edith loves chasing balls around the floor.  Any size of ball.  Her favorite toy is anything she can stick in her mouth.  She mostly just wants to move around and climb.  She loves climbing up stairs but hasn't figured out how to avoid falling back down again.

Favorite activities: Swinging outside and riding around in the wagon.  People watching.  Trying to catch a cat.

What makes her laugh:  Daddy rubbing his head on her belly.  She starts to laugh before he even does it.  Otherwise it takes quite a lot to make her laugh, but she does give us plenty of happy smiles.

Best friends: Edith loves playing with Elias and Kendra at Connie's house.  They both just turned 3, but include her in all of thier games.  When I come to pick her up at the end of the day, she is always hanging out with them, but smiles and crawls over to me to say hi.  Connie now says when I come to pick her up that she had a good day!  It is a far cry from when she was a baby and she would scream so much.  We were always worried she would get kicked out of daycare.  Edith also loves her cousins Miles and Otto, and is by far the most outgoing of our girls and will crawl over to any kid she sees.

Sleep: Edith just started sleeping through the night.  Though I hate to jinx it by writing that.  She usually takes 2 naps a day at home but only 1 at Connie's because she doesn't want to miss out.  She still loves her knit rainbow blanket and likes to chew on it before going to sleep.

Strangers always comment: She is so cute!  What chubby cheeks!  (I think there is still a little extra steroid related cheek weight.  But she always did have a round head.  Her nickname before the steroids was "Little Round Head.") Edith will always give people a smile to prove how cute she really is.  She is not scared of strangers at all.
